Where were you — in ’62? It’s Been 25 Years Since Moving Day Moving from the old school to the new present building, with only memories, is what students of Hart High did 25 years ago. “The old building had character,'' lamented Algebra Teacher, Linda Peterson, who was a Hart High freshman in '62. Feelings of sadness to be leaving an old friend that shared your victories and comforted you in defeat. But there were also feelings of happiness to be moving into a new building where new memories would be made. '62 was a time for students and teachers to work side by side. Science teacher Edwin Johnson remembers, “All the students carried books from the old building to the new, and we moved in one day. In addition to Mr. Johnson, four other teachers were faculty members in '62. Barbara Burmeister was still Drama Coach, and Miss Alice Eckerle (Mrs. Cunningham) was a young home economics teacher. Jack Heglund was in his second year as a math instructor, and Varsity Coach Harvey Weaver’s football basketball teams were both conference champions. The greatest change in the building since '62 has been the resent moderization of the windows for fuel effeciency. But regardless of the changes, the spirit and pride remain the same.

Fun Games Is There Life After 2:50 P.M.? School is a very important part of a teen-agers life. But outside activities help build character. The students at Hart High School are proof of that. When the week-end rolls around, not everyone wants to think of homework. Instead, students would rather think about how they are going to have fun. Just by talking with the students of Hart High, it is evident that they have many different ideas of having fun. Sophomores Kathy Markham and Theresea Sauser said that during their spare time, shopping and watching the movie Top Gun are their favorite things to do. Senior Mike Stovall replied that whenever he has any extra time, he works on his 1969 Couger. Bowling, horseback riding, dancing, concerts, going to the movies or watching the sunset are a few weekend activities. But to most students here just sharing the good times with great friends is a popular way to spend any out-of-school time. By Monica Owens
