Typing, which a l'ew years ago was ninety per cent girls, is being swamped with boys who plan to use typing in college. More and more girls are taking industrial arts and physics. Participation in the girls' athletic programs has soared in the past few years. The controversy as to whether or not girls should be allowed to play in previously all-boys' sports started leaning heavily toward the girls' side. Girls were admitted to both the boys' track and cross country teams and also competed with boys in new coed gym classes. As the opposing Willowbrook players watch, Morton Catcher Kathy Agresti tabovej takes a throw to the plate in the type of sports action once limited to the boys. Keeping up with today's mechanical society, Valerie Toerpe trightl tries printmaking in a graphics art course which at one time had only male members. r we g . P .J 'L QW' , .

The winter of 1976-1977 chilled everyone and broke many cold tempera- ture records. Exactly ten years after the great Chicago snow of 1967, the city set a record for the number of days in a row that the tempera- ture remained below freezing at forty-three days. January was the coldest month ever recorded by local weathermen, and Sunday, January 16, was the area's coldest day of the century when the mercury plunged to nineteen degrees below zero. The month also saw a record wind chill factor of eighty-five degrees below zero. The winter, marked by the lowest average temperature on record, was so cold that Morton students feared the coming of another ice age. In an effort to protect themselves from the biting cold, two students Qtopj in heavy winter coats walk hunched over in the school parking lot to begin another day. Despite the warming appearance of the morning sun, John Gustin Qleftj casts frosted wisps of breath reflecting the excruciating cold he has endured. STUDENT LIFE 15
