In 1973, 320 big eyed freshmen walked into Liberty wondering if the Rat Pack was really as rough and tough as they were said to be and hoping they weren't. Before one knew it Homecoming had arrived and the freshmen were ready to prove they were just as good as the seniors. Remember the tug-of war? The rope broke three times. And what about that first float, Hang 'Em' High ? Nobody was sure it would make it through the parade. Dianne Domingo and Johnny Lasater were the classes first recipients of the spirit Jugs. , The Freshmen Football Team won the league championship. Most valuable player was Jose Oseguera. The class chose Andy Hernandez as their first president: Robert Ramirez, vice president: Rosemary Mar- tinez, secretaryg and Stacye Smith, treasurer.

And how can you forget about those disaster drills, when the Activity Center fell in and you did not know if your friends were inside, and Craig Rolen standing on top of the library roof. What did he think he was doing?
