The beginninlg of a new adventure, the end of adolescence, we now look upon the paths opening into the future that awaits us al . In 1972, nervous and reluctant freshmen scanned the corridors of Liberty Union High School and the Class of 1976 tooktheir new place in the world of higher education. To lead the 367 wide-eyes and wondering were the brave Ben Tutor, president, David Broussard, vice president, Ruth Maiocco, secretary, Daniel Broussard, treasurer, Greg Robinson, representative, and Miss Reta Pirtle and Mr. Dennis Buckley, advisers. The Class of 76 experienced their first scheduling of classes during the September Merry-go-round in which they had a very confusing time. f As Homecoming rolled around, the freshmen put all their know-how together to produce their third place float with the theme Stom the Mats . They also placed second in the bike race and fourth in the tug-o-war contest. Ruth Maiocco receivecllthe Most Spirited Awards for their freshmen class. Busy in their kitchens and with water hoses, lalthough not always squirting carsj the freshmen made their profits from numerous bake sales and car washes. These wide-eyed freshmen soon found themselves to be the most wide-mouthed sophomores that the campus of Liberty has ever seen. To prove our point, these once scared freshmen turned into sophomores who won every competition yell at all the rallies-wel , all except one. Renee Vornhagen and Greg Wong became recipients of the Most Spirited Sophomores Award. This class also moved up on the charts as they placed second in the float com etition during their second Home- coming with the theme Grind the Liver-more . To help with the organizing oflhis float and the various bake sales and car washes were Kathy Serna, president, Lisa Mune, vice president, Terri Tipton, secretary, Lori Modrall, treas- urer, julie DeSair, representative, and Miss Pirtle and Mr. jerry Black lwho replaced Mr. Buckle j as advisers. On April 26, 1975, experiencing their first semi-formal dance with the theme In the still of the Night the sophomores held their Sophomore Hop. To highlight the evening was the crowning of Greg Robinson and Sandy DelBarba as the King and Queen. The Princess runner-ups were Debbie Celoni, Ruth Maiocco, Fa e Pastor, and Kaye Pastor, while the Prince runner-ups were David Hernandez, Bob DePiazza, Tony Berumen, and David Brous- sard. These unforgettable moments were filled with the sounds of Madness . To provide the guidingblines for the juniors, Sandy Pittman, president, Terri Tipton, vice president, jennifer Bea- ver, secretary, Becky Re eiro, treasurer were elected. Miss Pirtle and Mr. Black again aided them but this time throu h the years known as Big Bad juniors . ' With long hours of making flowers, the juniors shot their way to second place with the theme Take off to Vic- tor . Homecoming proved to be successful as Lisa Mune and Rick Howard captured second place in the egg toss and Della Ramos ate her way to third in the Pie Eating Contest . Because of their continuous elp and spirit, Mari Puente and Ken Rogers received the Most Spirited Award for juniors of their class. On the eve of April 5, 1975, the juniors a I met together to form their junior Prom with the theme Memories . They danced to the sounds of Get Ready . Again this marked one of those unforgettable times that filled their lives while in attendance at Libert . As the Summer of '75 passed, the 'uniors soon found themselves to be the Mighty, Mighty, Seniors . Through all the knowledge and experience of age gained in their years here at Liberty, they tied for first for the Homecom- ing Trophy. The points were won by evoted seniors who spent all hours making and putting up posters, saving Pennies, and winning events such as the Pie Eatincg Contest . The all faithful Leslie Roma and Rick Mello were the ast of their class to receive the Most Spirited Awar s. The seniors chose April 24, 1976, at Boundar Oaks as their date and location for that one last dance together. They were served Top Sirloin Steak and dancedlthe night away to the sound of Elements Precise . Many seniors were filled with joy as they realized Our Day Has Come , others felt only sadness. The seniors next went to Great America in Santa Clara on their GRAD Night. For their senior picnic they went to Oak Park in Stockton where they ice skated, played tennis, baseball, swam-and most of all-ate. We should give thanks to Laurie McLendon, president, Debbie Rego, vice president, Lauir Bausch, secretary, julie Conway, treasurer, Miss Pirtle and Mr. Black, advisers, for making all the necessary arrangements for these senior activities. On june 11, 1976, the 262 graduating seniors walked down the track of life, the Ohmstede Field, together for the Last time of their lives. But as the LIBERTY BELL RINGS AGAlN they will carry a vibration of that bell with them orever. The future senior class, the juniors, were envolved in numerous bake sales, candy sales, and car washes. Leading their class to this success were officers: Deana Harris, president, Debbie Cottrel, vice president, Suzanne Moore, secretary, and Brian Lyons, treasurer. Dances sponsored by the juniors included the Homecoming Dance and the Turn-a-bout. An unusual event this year was the combination of the junior Prom and the Sophomore Hop into one dance. goth the junior and sophomore classes worked together to make this one of the most unforgettable of all the ances. Sophomore class officers included: Dana McCampbell, president, Christina Bacchini, vice plresident, Erica jen- sen, treasurer, jeanette Amar, secretary. These officers worked right through the summer wit their classmates to raise money by running the dart throwing booth during the 4th of july carnival and also held a car wash. The freshmen started the year by electing officers: Anna juarez, president, Debbie Sapp, vice president, Yvonne St. john, treasurer, and Gina Combs, secretary. This class proved to be very spirited and won the Spirit Flag three consecutive times. Not only did this class show spirit but also creatively in mone -making activities: they raf ed off a large five foot sandwich! That just goes to show you what a little brain power will do. In the future when we, as adults, will look back upon our brief passing through Liberty we will always remember the bombardment of the staff room with snow balls from a freak snow storm,t e stink bomb that somehow found its way into Mr. SEringer's classroom, the girls' locker room filling with smoke from the newly established smoking area which then ad to be moved lthe smoking area, that isj, and flaming garbage cans, al this and much more will be left resounding through the corridors as the Class of 1976 makes its way forward to the theme of Liberty Bell Rings Again.
