Oh, thank heaven for “Oh thank heaven for ’77!’’ Yea, man, if it weren ' t for that 7-11 store I don’t know what I’d do. I go there every day for lunch, ya know Twinkies, Fritos, pop ...” “No, man, I said ’77!’’ ”Ya mean there’s a new store? So that’s what they were building on 45th Street.” “No, 1977.’’ where’s that? Oh, is that the street at the southern end of town?” “Not quite. See, ‘oh thank heaven for ’77’ is the theme of the yearbook.” Theme, what’s that?” “Well, first you sit down and look at everything that happened during the year. Next you find a pattern of feelings like happiness, enthusiasm or boredom. Finally you take that feeling and think of a way to describe it.” “Oh, I get it, but why did they pick ‘Oh thank heaven for 7-11’ or whatever it is?’ It’s ’77 and they picked it because 1977 was such an up year.” “How come?” Weil, football had a winning season.” “Yea, I heard something about that. Because of a rabbit’s foot wasn’t it?” Not really, it was a wishbone offense. Then there was the Death Class ...” “You mean they kill people at school?” No, the class explains the different things involved, like funeral expenses. The students got to take a field trip to Kuiper Funeral Home.” “Did things like that happen all year?” Sure, and many others. That’s what made this year different and special.” “Ya know, that sounds pretty good. Mind if I look at that yearbook a minute?” No, I don’t mind, go ahead.” “Wow, this is pretty neat!” Uh . . . you’ve got it upside down.”

Locker Buddies, dress-up days and hall competitions allowed plenty of opportunity for seniors Jody Jeremiah and Sandie Thiel to express their spirit, creativity and support. A wishbone offense that finally clicked and a 6-4 season, including Homecoming and Highland wins, give coaches Thornton and Parker something to smile about. While some dread the classroom doldrums, many students like senior Wally Wegrzyn, are thankful for an 8-3 routine which can offer courses from Foods 1-2 to “advanced Slinky in Physics. lb
