Nothing captures the crowd's imagination like a special performance Crowds. Groups of people ... waiting to be entertained, or even — occasionally — taught something. In a way, the whole student body was one huge crowd of 1800 people expecting the world to give them a show. That happened, sometimes, as at the Homecoming Coronation and pepfest when you saw your friends getting crowned or getting stuffed with bananas. More often, however, the crowd found its pleasure only when it broke down into many smaller crowds, into little groups of people who shared common interests. In these smaller crowds you found enjoyment in the special performances of those groups or individuals who appealed to your own special interests. Just about any group could find its own favorite crowd pleasers, whether in the form of a winning soccer team, an enthusiastic group of cheerleaders, or a chemistry teacher who had an unusual way of nearly blowing up the classroom during almost every demonstration. Crowds. , They were everywhere they thought they would find pleasure — in the classrooms, H gyms, stadiums, auditoriums, or parks. There you would find individuals or groups which were honestly extraordinary, and which were intuitive enough to know how to appeal to your moods, tastes, and interests. What put those individuals or groups into the category called “crowd pleasers” was not their ambition to show off, but their ability to pull it off. PAGE 3 — Lower left: Cheerleaders Maria Gdbertson.

Some teachers were more than just teachers. They were people in love with their jobs. As such, they gave more to you than you may have ever expected, for their involvement with their work became contagious. You, too, became more involved, because of teachers who cared enough to be student pleasers.
