F HF? Nobody can forget the pep sessions during the early months .of school. Back again . . . sharing the wide- open spaces. We come back. Some have looked forward to the first day, some have dreaded it, some couldn't care less. Our purposes are varied, our interests are many, but our main goal is education. It is our purpose, now is our time. We all face reality sooner or later, knowing that the bright summer days are gone, the sun tans are fading and the pay checks are no more. The seem- ingly endless twilights, freckles and mosquitoes have left. We return to the same school, but somehow it is different. The smell of cleanliness and the sound of squeaky tennies on freshly waxed floors are unfamiliar and physical. The difference lies in the student body. lt is a con- cerned student body that works as one to tackle the problems that they share. There is the realization that the school, as a unit, is maturing with its fair share of growing pains. Along with new scheduling, new teachers, new staff positions and new officers, came, of course, new prob- Iems. Students found themselves with no books, no classroom seats and no schedules. Unfortunately, a few students found themselves without that one necessity-a pass! It's hard to say spirit is dead at Southeastern with- out getting a Booster Club pin stuffed down your throat. Here Charlie Walton and Carol Griffey show their spirit during Homecoming Week. This particular day was Hobo Day and the halls of Hammy South were full of bums.

Mr. Burns begins his second year at Southeastern. Here he passes back the results of a test. Space-our surroundings-everyone's surroundings. Before one can share one must learn to give. Give of one's self, time and energy. A smiling face can light up a dark gloomy day, a quiet hello can make one feel wel- come or a brief word of encouragement can help a depressed person continue on his way. Attending pep sessions, selling spirit pins, getting involved in clubs and canteens and just giving freely of one's time, reveal all of the ways an individual can share the wide- open spaces at Southeastern. The world has no boundaries. Space is the infinite substance in every niche and corner of the world. Through one's self, time and energy the students of Hamilton Southeastern worked together through giving. 736 students worked together to fill those wide-open spaces created by life in the country. 1973 was a year of sharing. New band director, Mr. William Newton, watches his band going through the paces of preparation for a fine year. The band practiced throughout August, striving to per- fect each step and each note.
