, le Begun - he day we entered the halls of Hur- hm: the class wt '78 begun leaving; llJll no tine in the sehuol would soon target. During the next font years. we went UH tn he known tn the biggest money l'tllSCfS and the biggest mouths; which means we were the class with the most spirit. It all hegun when DLWltl Fteilieh. :1 1070 gmtlnutc. challenged our class to ULllSL'll what their class had sold in maga- zines. It seemed unattainable tbeat the ju- nitirxllll, but we proved the victors by surpassing the class till 76 by hundreds of tlnllurs. Onr-spirit. nnt'm'tnnaitelyt did not show us well in the class tournaments as both at our teams went tluwn in defeat tilting with our cheering section. But soon again we became winners WhCIL in our sophtinim'e year. we reached our goal to pay for our prom by selling records in the tall and candy in the spring There were a lot of MSLMls eaten behind Gle T THAT Rll BOUND!

Everyone etinld be seen trying to de- cide between round and Square. gold and Silver when November came tilting This was because 'lthe ring man was coming! We all ordered our class rings and anxious- ly awaited February. Of course we fol- lowed in the footsteps ot'every class before us by tineonspieuously'll showing off our rings. Then. in the spring. came an honor not usually bestowed upon sophomores. We won the spirit award in class tournaments for the first time, but surely not the last! Our junior yeztr proved to be nu differ- ent than all the rest The class of 78 con- tinued to excel and reach its goals. We affectionately refer to this year as the hYeur ot' Rosko because that gouty guy on the third tloor implored the most in- genious ways to pick our pockets for funds needed to Finance class projects. ltls no wonder that we had enough money for the prom Kent State University was miraculously trans- formed into 4 Broadway scene and dubbed ttOpening Night. Success was ours again! Spring also gave us a chance to open our fanmus months and win the spirit uwurd again at the class tournaments. Our section of the gym sure did look different with cows, horses. and hay all over the place to go along with us being Down on the FarmYl' Now we have the seemingly un- attainable rank of seniors and things havenlt changed much The target this year was ti trip to Wash. ingtun DC. and u poinsettiu sale paved the way. Despite all the ex- citement ol-ordering announcements and cap and guwnst graduation seems a little sad. However. when the class of 78 walks out the doors of Harbor High School for the last time. it wont be the end. It will just be the beginning.

ooking at Harbor High School from the outside, itts not even average. The building is old and literally falling apart; the books are dated and modern equipment is practically non- cxistant; the students must eat in a cramped and crowded gym lobby, and the school system itself is almost always on the verge ofa financial disaster. With this backward approach to education how can it be explained that tlarbor students more than hold their own in scholastic and athletic competition? And why, if the school is so bad, do so many students openly show such a strong pride in the fact that they go to Harbor Ihgh School? . The difference is obviously in the people. In the absence of advanced and expensive materials thehstudents have truly become Harborts most valuable asset. Looking only at the talents and achievements of the student body, Har- bor can compare with any other high school in the country: looking at the fact that these achievements are made under great handicaps, a lot can be said for the ability of the students to make the most of what they have. The task of overcoming the disadvan- tages of going to a school where curricu- lum and activities have been cut to the bone, and where everything from the number of teachers to the time allowed for lunch have to be at the minumum al- lowed by law is great. The fact that Har- bor has produced both Merit scholarship winners and outstanding athletes proves that the students have indeed done so. People 7
