Both the cafeteria and the student lounge provided students with a place for retreat from their classroom pressures and assignment worries. They were strictly on their own. No teachers were on duty this year in the cafeteria and the responsibility of clean tables was placed on the students' shoulders. lt was up to the upperclassmen to keep everyone in line. Although the cafeteria was not left continuously and completely immaculate all the time, the students were still allowed to handle the situation themselves. The student lounge was operated in the same manner with different Student Council members running things each lunch period during the day. Books, pencils. paper and various other school supplies were sold for the convenience of the student. At the beginning of the year, the student lounge had its walls redesigned and painted in a pop-art fashion. A committee from the Student Council decided the who, what and where. Pale yellow was the color chosen for the background and bright green and orange were selected for the big universal pattern. Chuck Bumgardner, junior. and Randy Gerke, senior, headed the committee and organized the procedure of painting and decorating so each committeeman got his chance at using the brush.

Students congregated in the front entrance and the cheerleaders took over-silhouetted in the light of the doorway. Halftimes were filled with programs from the majorettes and their twirling flags and bouncing pom poms. The concession stand filled with hot and thirsty fans from their over zealous yelling and motivation. Spirit had overcome most at last!
