■ Up thru our 13 years I Thirteen years ago, the first Quiver boasted about a first place rating achieved by the band at N1SBOVA. This winning streak continued until thirteen first place wins were racked up by the Marching Indians. Later yearbooks would picture the events that shaped student memories in the past. In 1969, ten years ago, ev¬ eryone was talking about the Great Blizzard, and the first basketball Homecoming ever held. Miss Sweet¬ heart, Karen Simpson, and Mr. All- Star, Mike Hoffman, reigned over the game. Proud spectators watched in 70 as the basketball team captured the title of sectional champs. Lead player for the game was Bill Smith, and the coach was Mr. Tom Peyton. The band was again highlighted in 1971 as they marched at the half-times of professional football games played by the Bears. Packers, and Lions. In 1974, the student pavillion was opened. Travelling 100 miles in 13 hours, 59 minutes, fourteen Lettermen set a new leapfrogging world record in the Bi¬ centennial year. The entire year of 76 was celebrated with festivities, carniv¬ als, and parades. St. |ohn held a fire hydrant painting contest, parades, and special ceremonies in remembrance of America’s freedom and democracy. By 1978, construction on the new wing of the school was nearly com¬ plete. This fall, the bright blue doors of the C-wing were open for everybody. Seniors had the privilege of using the new, shiny lockers in the new section. Sleepy students’ eyes are opened every morning as they come face to face with orange, yellow, and blue lockers and hall-ways. Gym students can have a change of pace by taking a dip in G114, the 25 meter pool. Giant number graphics adorn the walls of the pool, and built-in bleachers provide seating for future inter-scholastic competition. Shop students now have more room than ever to wor k; the D-wing has full accommodations for vocational work. We seemed confident that our thirteenth year would progress smoothly and without mishap. But mysterious reminders brought thir- teen’s influence back into perspective. The Senior (iirls Choir waits attentively for cues during a mass choir rehearsal, held in the jiuditorium.
