The graduating class of 1977 has grown up through one of the most turbulent and eventful times in history. Be- ginning our formal education in 1964, one year after the assassination of President Kennedy, our school years were filled with many first's . The civil rights movement of the early sixties changed lifestyles all over America and resulted in the assassination of Martin Luther King Jr. in 1968. We saw the development of the NASA program and most of the U.S. watched Neil Armstrong and Edwin Aldrin Jr. walk on the moon in 1969. We were old enough to understand the mechanics of war when the U.S. became involved in Vietnam. Many of us were introduced to the pain one feels when a family friend or relative dies in a war that seems to be accomplishing nothing. During that period, the problem of draft resisters and deserters became widespread problem that is yet to be fully solved. AS overpopulation and famine became greater problems throughout the rest of the world, we lived in a stable and relatively disasterfree community. The seventies ushered in higher crime rate and inflation along with higher standards of living in most of America. Then came one of America's greatest shocks in years: the Watergate scan- del. This touched every American's life revealing the corruptness of our government, all the way up to the Pres- ident. Following Nixon's resignation, we were confronted with the energy crisis which affected us by limiting our heat and lights in school and at home. Whatever surprises the future has in store for us, we are prepared for the worst, (and the best!) 4 Bonnie Allard leaves her musical talents to Katrina Mosley.

It is a com- mon occurence to observe a stu- dent and a teacher absorbed in a conversation on any subject. This harmony was clearly shown by the good sportsmanship of Miss Eddy, Miss Wadsworth and Miss Cicero at the Christmas initiation assembly. Because of the superb quality of our faculty, we are sure that this relationship will remain in the future as close as it has in the past.

The members volunteer their time to assist a teacher who may need to have a small child helped by the relationship and assis- tance of an older one. This assistance may be emo- tional or academic or both. The S.A.E. as a group provides for a Christmas party for Mr. Pusch's class complete with a visit from santa. The gifts are provided by the S.A.E. with a big boost from the American Legion Auxiliary. This year the S.A.E. provided candy stuffed stockings for 45 families under the Kings Daughters program. A major project each year is the fund drive to sponsor Maria Mara our Indonesian orphan. Through persons and groups such as the S.A.E., an orphan has food, clothes, medical care and an education. This will be the fourth year of our spon- sorship. To raise fluids two cake sales, many bake sales and a spagetti supper are held each year in addition to the basketball dances.

Junior Band The Hoosick Falls junior band consisting of seventh and eighth grad- ers is probably the most active junior band in our county. The band performs within the school a Christmas, Spring and Pops concert in addition to assemblies. Within the community they perform annual programs at the Hoosick Falls Health Center, Hoosick Grange and bi- centennial celebrations such as, The Fourth of July parade in 1976 and the village celebration coming on August 7, 1977. The Junior band parades in the Memorial Day celebrations in Hoosick and Hoosick Falls in addition to opening the various baseball and softball seasons in Hoo- sick Falls. The Junior band of '76-77' will do what was begun by last year's band and that is the cutting of an LP record of the Pops concert performance. Last years record sold 140 copies and this one should sell even more. In addition to all of the above local activities many band members take part in the all county band, too. The Junior band this year will be preceded by a color guard while on parade.
