5 e Nl. P.H Darkened corridors, empty parking spaces reflect energy crisis Evolving from the withholding of Arab oil from the United States, the energy crisis' effects were felt by everyone. The speed limit was low- ered to 55 miles per hour, no gas was sold on Sunday, and only a small percentage of the city's Christ- mas decorations were lighted. The key word was conserve and trans- itions were apparent at Hardaway. Halls were darkened, temperatures were dropped, and blinds were raised as the faculty and students strove to meet the government's urges. Daylight Savings Time was resumed in winter for the first time since World War Il. Students arrived at school before dawn broke. There was much controversy as to whether it really helped preserve energy. Preparing for the governor's elec- tion in November of 1974, candi- dates began their campaigns. Lester Maddox Phooey shirts were sold in his shop at Underground Atlanta, drawing attention to his cause. Anticipation grew as Hardaway students awaited the appearance of Comet Kohoutek in January. Coming only once in 75,000 years, the experience of seeing it was not passed off lightly by young or old. National International Affairs 27

Columbusites make news in national affairs Capturing nationwide interest through the achievements of its citi- zens, Columbus, Georgia was men- tioned frequently throughout the year in national news. Bo Callaway was appointed by Nixon to the office of Secretary of the Army. The first girls to ever complete the para- trooper training program were mem- bers of the Fort Benning WAC divi- sion. Janet Reeves, one of Harda- way's students, was named Miss American teenager. Her many prizes included a trip to Hollywood where she appeared in the television series General Hospital , Mash , and Truth or Consequences. The hurried confusion of Christ- mas shopping was hindered by the widening of Macon Road, although, when completed, the enlargement provided better passage and traffic control. Adding an international view to Hardaway students, two girls from England and two from Switzerland were enrolled at Hardaway. Learn- ing to adapt to American life, the girls found new pastimes while main- taining their old ones. DURING the taping of a Mash segment, Janet Reeves, Miss American Teenager, pas- ses through the chowline with Radar O'Ri- ley and other nurses of the cast. SIGNING up for a game of tennis at Wild- wood Tennis courts is Samantha Coombes, a former resident of England.
