I pictured it to he. i Members of the Giinston I District orkshop decided j to start a county wide stu- I dent exchange program. Students from every school in the Gnnstoii Dis¬ trict spent a day visiting at another school. The Tfger Ra had fi¬ nancial problems this year. Luckily, they were solved and the Ti er Ra didiiT 11118 S an issue::.r. The Groveton-Brvant i conversion finally got I passed this year hut with a big cut in funds. Construc¬ tion should start this summer. Groveton returned to the Fifties during Home¬ coming week. Girls eame to school with dresses be¬ low their knees and hoys tried out the Met look. The Meek ended Mith Sandra Smith being c r o m ii e d Homeeoming Queen dur¬ ing half time of the Home¬ eoming football game. The gas shortage hit Groveton this year as Mell as the rest of the nation. Students Ment out during classes, contrary to school policy, to battle the long gas lines. Novemher 29 Mas open¬ ing night for the drama production You CaiYt Take It W ith You. There was a great turnout. The Chil- dreii’s Theatre Troupe completed another good year bv touring seven ele¬ mentary schools. The first production Mas The Ter¬ rible, Horrible, No Good J er Bad Day. This pro¬ duction Mas also presented at the One Act Play Festi¬ val and reeeived the high¬ est rating of superior. The hand traveled to Anaheim, California on Mareh 21 for the Musie Educators National Con¬ ference. They attended a Morkshop and a concert in Mhich eighty other choral orchestral and symphonic groups participated. The football team had a iieM coaeh. Phil Turner tried to instill the hoys Mith a Minning attitude as they Ment on to a tMo and eight season. Not exactly a Minning season hut there ' s alMavs next year. Cross Country ended leaving the hoys Mith some elose hut nnsnccessful raees. That should he hoys and girls. For the first time in Grove- ton’s history a girl ran on a team. Congratulations Cindy Kane—the female athletes applaud you. Basketball team’s efforts proved fruitless. They mou only one game the Mhole season hut at least they Mon the right one. The vic¬ tory came against Ft. Hunt. Due to the forfeits and inexperience the Mrestling team Masn’t able to Min any team mate lies. Al¬ though the Minter track teams as a Mhole Mas un- suceessful, a feM individ¬ uals did quite Mell. Mark BlaekMell, Fred Lees, W il¬ liam Thomas and Larry Daly Ment to the State meet. Mark diil Mell, tak¬ ing third place in the sixty yard high hurdles and a fifth place in the sixty yard dash. The girl’s tennis team ended the season in a three May tie for first place. Mimi Hoffman Ment on to Min the Gunston Distriet Tennis Tournament. Al¬ though the girls’ basket¬ ball teams got off to a sIom start, the iieM coaches, Ms. Estes and Ms. Raes, really got the teams going. And the much overlooked Gym¬ nastics team finally aehieved varsity status. Brad Shipp, from Her- nodon High, this year’s student inemher of the sehool hoard Mas pleased by the May he Mas received by the other Sehool Board memhers, especially after the eontroversv that raged at the time of the nomination. Students missed classes a feM times this year due to p r o h 1 e Ill s m i t h i n the sehool. A gas leak caused an evacuation of the school and numerous fire alarms kept the students and the fire department jumping. Problems Mith the heating caused an early closing. Most students are not aMare that the school has enough heat to cause a problem. The seniors had a huge debt to pay and they de¬ cided not to sell niiseella- neous junk to do it. The Senior Fee Mas inereased by one dollar bringing it to S8.()0. Just think—you have to pay to get out of here. Apparently not everyone Manted to get out, Iiom- ever. Some students paid a different kind of price just to run through Groveton’s halls Mithout their elothes.
