THE EDITORS 3 Mr. Tate, Sponsor, lights N.H.S. candle. .New N.H.S. officers are sworn in. National Honor Society officers. Lunchroom ladies working HARD! Journalism helps with school paper. MASCOTS CHEERLEADER TW1RLER Cindy Hobbs Christy Webb Our LEADER hard at WORK!!! 4 Autumn with its crispy fragrance, Gold in all its splendor. Winter, deep in icy silence, White as snowy timber. Spring, alive with freshness clear, Green as tender meadows. Summer, burning fiery bright, Bronzes without shadows. Activities flourish as the seasons begin; Painted as a portrait of a new year. A bonfire sparks homecoming nostalgia, Then sets ablaze the rousing Christmas spirit. Spring fever, lurking around the corner. Waits to snare its victim. With an awards assembly, a Junior-Senior Prom, The coronation and graduation; A year that has just begun, just begins to end. Activities come and go; yet we remember...

A time for us at last to see a life worthwhile for you and me. A rose will bloom ... it then will fade. The world wags on. A time when chains are tom by courage born . . . of a love that's true. A toast to a new world . . . a world of shining hope for you and me. We will endure, as we pass surely through every storm. A time when dreams so long denied, can flourish ... a time for us.

Leading the way into a new year.

Three ot our tearless learders hard at work!!! 80 Melancholy hours in classrooms; Students waiting for the day to end Shuffling feet, books, and papers Add to the sounds of light whispering, Mild chattering, and an occasional chuckle or two. Folding arms and yawning, Sleeping on desks and on books. Slumping in chairs and dreaming of far-away places; Such are the days of the Sophomore. Caught and entangled in his self-made Web of boredom, the last Of the underclassmen wait impatiently To move a step forward.

Suddenly thrust into a new and changing world Full of color and frenzy, he is filled with a sense of Wonder and amazement. A world of unfamiliar sights and sounds Awaits his presence. Colors; flashing bright and brilliant, Bring laughter and excitement. Sounds of intensity, and sounds of warmth Invade his environment and surround it. It is a new beginning; A time for awakening; A time for learning A time for understanding; As a thrilling journey begins. . .

WE'RE THE CLASS OF '76! 91 OLD GOAT SAW SIGNS OF’73! The long and short of it!! Due to an unexpected snow (IN GROESBECK???), we all enjoyed an extra holiday. SIGNS OF '73 . . . fashions, fads, and fun . . . from hippies to cowboys, from conservative to way-out. Each individual has something to say, and he expresses it in his own way. Whether it be through styles of dress, decals and signs, or a certain way of life, the many moods and opinions of people can be clearly recognized everywhere. 93 The return of the POW's was a great relief to all of us concerned about the Vietnam war. Bathing Beauties of 1973!! Staying out too Late!! Here I am, MR. AMERICA!! That's what you get!! RUBY NELL! ! 94 Lost in a maze of minds and visions Stands the individual. Not really lost; only surrounded By a sea of others. All of us searching for an identity, But learning as we seek for Knowledge in its truest forms. Wondering, searching, and learning, we Reflect the world around us in our Dreams, hopes, and ambitipns. Beginning, ending, and beginning again; Turning from the past from whence we came; Journeying onward towards realms unknown, We face the future. Reflections of a world tomorrow . , .
