Black Heat warmed up the prom crowd with soul and rock. Juniors create ' Sunset on the Congo’ Metamorphic changes were created in the gym by the Class of ' 75 and Sunset on the Congo. Colorful birds and grass huts helped create the atmosphere. Black Heat made the music and Darla Decatur was crowned queen by Principal Richard Garnett. Murals were carefully executed by the Junior Class to set the mood for Sunset on the Congo. Ira Weston gets it op-wnth his date. ! 6

Joyce White, Laura Limerick, Paul Schutte, Portia Payne, Anthony Bailey are shown climbing down from the look-out tower near former President Eisenhower ' s farm outside Gettysburg. 40 students and five sponsors make up Move ’74. Move is an appropriate title since they take various educational (and fun!) trips. Among the trips taken by Move was the exciting one to Lancaster, Pennsylvania. There the students caught a first-hand glimpse of Amish life; and also had reason to complain of fanny fatigue from the prolonged bus trip. The long trip was not without its excitement, such as: getting lost, hear¬ ing War Deliver the Word” played all the way up (thank heavens the tape player broke on the way back, 3 hours of the same tape could kill a person!), embarassing Leroy (an Amish boy); and being FORCED to eat breakfast at McDonald ' s (that’s starting the day off right?). All of the students arrived at JM weary, but happy. Missing two days of school and having fun at the same time kept everyone in good humor. Dr. Bulent Atalay of MWC gave a lecture in January on Cosmology: this was interesting since the subject is not taught at JM. During his lecture, a heavy snowfall was the object of many students’ attention. After enjoying his lecture, students were greeted by the news that school would recess early and everyone was ecstatic. JM students involved in an archeological dig, impossible??? Move ’74 strikes again: 40 active (rambunctuous) students again piled into the bus and undertook another adventure. After witnessing one dig, they were allowed to participate in another. Although inexperience was pronounced, everyone had a great time. The year was an eventful one, packed with memories they will never forget . . . anyway, how could you forget two full days in Pennsylvania with Mr. Richard Price, Mr. Rick Hall. Ms. Tina Egge, and Mrs. Marguerite Young? 8
