The school year 76-77 had its share of significant news events to remember. With the election of Jimmy Carter as the 39th President, there was much controversy over which candidate could best lead our country on to greater prosperity. There were even some seniors who were able to actively support their candidate by voting in their first presidential election. Is capital punishment morally right? was the question that was discussed in Mr. Jack Fisk's government classes, as Gary Gilmore shocked the country by demanding his own death sentence. Farrah Fawcett-Majors and her famous swim suit poster prompted envious remarks from the girls but strong approval from In the news 4' If p ' Q , is .

Senior Diane Davis commented, The really cold weather bothered me most when my car wouIdn't start in the morningl Our country had experienced the coldest winter in several decades. On the movie scene, Rocky won the Academy Award for Pic- ture of the Year, while Evergreen was named Song of the Year.

Senior Senate, Distributive Education, and Concert Choir were just a few of the many groups that contributed to the stream of smiling salesmen wandering the halls in search of prospective customers and the almighty buck. Mike llten, a member of D.E., commented, It seemed that we were always selling things all year long. It wasn't so bad,though, since it gave us something to do during the year. The issue of student sales came under close scrutiny this year. In a report filed by the NCA evaluation team, it was stated that there was too much of an emphasis placed upon fund raising at Jefferson. We echo that concern, replied Mr. William C. Jacobson, principal.
