that fateful first day you entered the build- ing ... You glanced at all the empty lockers which would soon be bursting with books, papers and an odd as- sortment of pictures, posters, and paraphenalia. Walking down the hall, you laughed and joked with your friends, all the while wondering what this year would be like. You had decided that this was the year that you were going to ' Go for it! ' . This year you would finish all your reports before they were due, study for every test, return your library books on time, buy your lunch ticket before Monday noon, have your name on every piece of gym equipment, and all those other good intentions. 20 Gyration

gyration SENIOR SCRUDS AND FRIENDS DOING THEIR OWN THING Back in the ' 50 ' s ' the teens seemed to have created their own era. Cruisin ' , high school dances, concerts, blue jeans, and drag races. Here we are in the ' 70 ' s ' struggling to create a fantastic impression on the next generation with our cruisin ' , high school dances, concerts, blue jeans, drag races ... It doesn ' t seem to have changed that much. But some of the obvious changes are: the twist to the hustle, a Desoto to a Ford 4 wheel drive, Elvis Presley to Pe- ter Frampton, skin-tight pony tails to soft and frizzy curls. Of course as time changes so do our ways as we discover more each day, but no matter how much we advance the people generally stay the same. The teens that want to do their own thing and be a friend to mankind are tomorrow ' s lead- ers. But while the weight of the world still rests on our parents ' shoulders, go out and throw a frisbee, hop on your ten-speed, cruise in a new Camaro, have a pool party, listen to your new al- bum, put on your Dr. Scholl ' s and loaf awhile. Take the time to do your thing while the opportuni- ties are there. Gyration 19

Studying wasn ' t the only thing that helped you learn. It was see- ing old friends, making new ones, and being part of a group, too. Sometimes, just getting there was half the fun, as Mark Clark, emerging from his TA room, shows us. The stairs are the tricky part, though, according to Mark. The days are kept full of mean- ingful learning experiences, as il- lustrated by Mr. Pickens. This obviously hardworking, serious and diligent teacher seems to have been caught in the act of presenting some type of demon- stration to his class. That ' s why school is so enjoyable. The classwork, after-school ac- tivities, after-activity jobs, after- work games, after- . . . All in all, one tends to get rather wrapped up in what ' s going on. It seems that there ' s just no escaping the fact. School is the major part of our lives. For many of the more industrious and athletically inclined students, after school sports events fill the empty hours. Here some senior students practice shooting bas- kets with Robbie. Those inven- tive seniors! Always coming up with a different way of doing things. Actually, they are just checking out a rumor that some- one had put a hole in the top of the basket. At last, the favorite period of the day Lunch Hour. It replaces re- cess, which was an old favorite back when we were kids. Here a group of hungry underclassmen chow down with relish (not the pickle kind). ion 21
