This is an unusual introduction for a yearbook but then again it was an unusual school year. The 1977-1978 school year is certainly one to be remembered . . . but for what? The Chinese say that we passed from the Year of the Snake into the Year of the Horse while others say that this is still the Age of Aquarius. One thing that remains certain, however, is that we here at John Hay High School, in the city of Cleveland, Ohio, found ourselves in the Year of the Question Mark. This was a year that held no answers for people. It only posed questions. Why did everything seem to take us by surprise? Why did the Cleveland Public School system find itself in the throes of a painful desegregation lawsuit? Why were we suddenly teetering on the brink of bankruptcy? Why were the teachers asked to week for deferred pay? Why did so many cases of blackboard flu develop that a city-wide epidemic seemed apparent? Why were schools virtually shut down for days? Why were many teachers cut from their jobs in mid-year? And what do Seniors do when they find their school system falling apart at the seams only a few short months before graduation? Even the weather took us by surprise. After many heavy snowstorms we awakened one windy morning in January to the worst blinard ever to batter the state of Ohio. Why didn't anyone even warn us? It seemed an appropriate ending to the first semester of a school year that seemed to barely get off the ground. As this book went to print it was only the beginning of the second semester. All wc could do was predict the outcome of the remaining school year. Things would probably return to some degree of normalcy if the schools weren't forced to close due to a lack of funds, but would things ever be the same? People can only stand uncertainty for so long. We would probably bite the bullet and tighten our belts and try to pick up the pieces and move on to better times or would we find that this period of chaos was only just the beginning? The students and faculty of John Hay, for the most part, tried to keep tilings running as calmly as possible during some difficult times. Hopefully the next fourteen pages vail reflect, in some way, the various moods and feelings that prevailed here at John Hay High School, in Cleveland, Ohio during the 1977-1978 school year; a year of uncertainty and change.
