' OLD F VCES Summer had ended just as quickly as it came and with that end came the beginning of a new school year. The student gathered her thoughts for a moment, then finally, halfheartedly, convinced herself that she was glad for the start. Entering the building, the ledge was the first thing to grab her attention. There where she had sat many times before, friends from the past year chattered brightly about the events to come. She couldn’t help but notice the the “gorgeous hunks” from last year were still perched among their usual places on the ledge, discussing the upcoming football season. She continued down the hall where she encountered the principal. He, for certain, was a well-known face around school. (Too well for some people.) As she moved throughout the day, she noticed there were people she had overlooked, yet had probably returned year after year to keep the school running. The cafeteria cooks were a good example. Day in and day out they cooked and served the food. She smiled to herself remembering all the times she had asked for no mixed vegatables. The custodians were another old familiar group which she knew she could always count on for a small favor and a polite smile. The end of the year came and the girl felt a sense of emptiness. She was forced to say good-bye to nearly 1,000 old familiar faces. It’s pure American Graffitti that students see at certain places in the high school. Whether it ' s on desk tops, bathroom walls, or lockers amateur graffitti writer leave their mark. 7

A familar old place is the telephone outside the J-room. Here students can call mom to bring the forgotten homework or call a boyfriend to make sure he ' s really home sick, as does junior Cindy Stevens. Feeling a little under the weather , senior Carol Pustek asks Mrs. Earp to take her temperature and check her pulse. As the school nurse, Mrs. Earp repeats this task daily. Sometimes a ranch steak is better than an empty stomach as sophomore Lisa Brooks decided. Some students choose McDonalds while others decide to stick around the same old place. 6

The health food store downtown has been here longer than many students in Griffith High but it still offers the newest choices in health foods as senior Liz Robles and junior Cindy Morris find. Just one more squirt of water adds the finishing touch to any soda phosphate. Junior Jeff Johnson finds working at an ice cream parlor a good way to meet and talk to his schoolmates. Although some students never wander down that part of the hall, senior Darryl Fullgraph spends a large part of his day in the machine shop, that to him. may seem like the same old place. 8
