.cg Looking of the beginning With alarm clocks ringing, and people jumping out of bed to quickly eat and get dressed, you may wonder what is going on. Well, this lS where it all began. Oh August 25, 1975, the summer slumberers arose approximately three hours earlier than they had been for the past three months. What's the great occasion? School, of course! lf you look back, the first day wasn't too bad. But, what about every day after that? Getting back into the routine of rolling out of the sack early was hard, but we all survived. We survived just as we have every other year since the lst grade. Here's our story as we look back. Whether it was by car, cycle, bus, or legs, most of us managed to make it here the first day to pick up our schedules. For the returning students it was quite a new procedure. Instead of Senior, junior, and Sophomore orientations, the students waited in long lines to receive their courses for the coming year. The majority of the people were happy, but as usual, some weren't. The counselors did their best to quickly straighten the problems out. After gaining a couple of hundred new students this year, the need for expansion at lHS was great. As a result, the locker bay was dissolved with the lockers being placed in the corridors and a few scattered out on the main ram p. The old locker bay was made into a study hall and two storage rooms. One of the storage rooms is now used by the juniors for their daily candy sale, their main money making project of the year. The lockers were assigned through the 4th period class, with school books following close behind. Then came homework and tests. After the first week or so of school, most of the Seniors were described as having a bad case of Senioritis. The only cure was graduation, which wasn't until May 27, l976. Many Seniors found relief in reminiscing about their fun in the sun. .l. , .4 ,. . Jaw jar J A . ,y 'fs g A 'kggtg l. Here's our story as we look back ....

Looking of the summer .......... l 4-Opening Remember the summer? lt was days of cut-offs, bathing suits, suntan oil, tennis rackets, picnics, frisbees, and parties. After fitting all of these activities around a job, there was still time to stop and look ata movie. And what a summer for movies. On the very tip-top of the agenda was the thriller Hjawsf' A movie that took five months to film instead of two, and budgeted S8 million instead of 53.5 should pay off well to author Peter Benchley and producers Zanuck and Brown. Paying off is just what it did. After the movie was released, the jaws craze struck. It was hard to go for a cool dip in a pool or lake without someone bringing the subject of sharks up. Soon jaws l knick-knacks such as t-shirts, sharks teeth strung on a leather string to hang around the neck were being looked at and bought everywhere. ln October, you think the craze would be dying out, but this wasn't the case. At the State Fair, a booth was set up to win stuffed sharks. lf that's not enough, then how about a shark costume for Halloween? But let's not rush ourselves through the summer. The major event of the three hot, sweltering months was the fourth of july. Along with the usual firecrackers, cherry bombs, and bottle rockets, our nation officially began its bicentennial celebration. Nlost everyone went on some type of outing, such as a visit to Greers Ferry Lake for a swim and picnic, or to Burns Park with a chance to go on a hike and look at the scenery making sure to get back to a shaded spot in time for lunch, or maybe it was a family reunion. There was a party atmosphere everywhere, but then there was good reason to be. So here we are, back at the beginning of school. lt was a year chocked full of red, white, andlor blue, while the nation prepared for its bicentennial. The ROTC flag corps presented the colors at the beginning of every pep rally with the whole school united to repeat the pledge of allegiance. It seemed to bring about a sort of closeness between all students. These two factors played a large role in the sudden surge of patriotism. T GUtit?n'i.in YM A SENIO 1.
