XP' IW Pmshimi and sfrznrmrmimi 26 Halls and Library 41 I didn't even feel my door making myself thin toes llife had been squeezed out of theml but the thing I really worried about was the five text- books I just dropped. They had already been trampled down a flight of stairs. It was a typical day on my way to third period. I philosophically accepted the inevitability of a neck brace after four years of stairwell stress. When the bell rang after classes I slipped out the like the pink panther and slithered down the walls to my next subject. I knew if the tardy bell rang I would be decapitated in the flurry of the on- slaught. Often I sought refuge in the library where the rows between the books seemed wider-than any available space left in the halls. I found an empty spot in the middle of the room -- a few other algebra regulars were already there, hunched over their homework. As al- ways, my equations sat there and looked up at me like a coiled snake. We gathered regularly to solve perplexing problems. If I wasn't sweating over algebra I fumbled through stacks of magazines - any- thing from Seventeen to Rolling Stone. Sometimes I need the comics or an ar- ticle on Fonzie's latest triumph to get away from reality.

Boy, I can't wait until I graduate! That's all I heard from my friends who were se- niors. Even though they Couldn't wait until they graduated, before I knew it, they were back at school again. lonly this time to visit. l I was so surprised every time I saw a young alumnus return. Hey, what are you doing back? Well, uh . . Ah-hah! I guess former stu dents get a little home- sick and have to come backg they had to see what's hap- pening. '75 grads came in abun- dance. Ieanette Lashare Inow Hablewitzj made a fi- nal stop before leaving the state. Of Happenings on the Hill fame, Shirley Mills and Ann Peterson announc- ed their way back. Former senior class president Rosilyn Atkinson and vale- dictorian Wayne Elmer also revisited the campus. Reunited Randolph Morgan, Bubba Ray and Bobby Schmidt gave a special performance of the Barbershop quartet at a Febrary FFA meeting. Former choral honor stu- dent Betty Diggs, now a sophomore at Gardner- Webb, dropped by for some fall football action. The games also provided chance for '75er Rick God- win to renew old acquaint- ances. Z8 Homin' instinct Coast Guard seaman re- cruit Ieff johnson also made an appearance at a mid-winter band practice. From northern South Car- olina Inamely, Rock Hill's Winthrop Collegel came Ar- nold Uscheler. Still fresh from leaving high school, '76 grads were also compelled to return. Probably traveling the greatest distance, Kansas State University student Charles Peterson made a round trip at Christmas- time. USC students made their debuts at Hillcrest once again early in the year, with regular trips after- ward. lke Bowen, Iames Gray, Terry Lambert, Clau- dette Marr, Tim McBride and Deane Pennington were among those that visited the campus.
