Skeletons of steel and stone, the buildings stand . . Empty, lifeless, without desire, Waiting, waiting for something to make them function, Something to make them complete.

Of intellectual awakening . . . a fire in the hearts And minds of those who love it!

There were the traditional floats, beauties, and festivities, but rain changed the story. Hurricane Gladys was determined that she should be Homecoming queen. In spite of her efforts, the floats were judged, the queen was crowned, and the dance was a suc- cess. Only the parade was canceled, but the awards were still given to the three best floats. The French Club float, featuring Around the World in 80 Days, won first place. The Bulldogs continued their fine season with a victory over Pacelli, and Buz Porch's playing won him the annual award given by the Jay- cees to the lTIOSt outstanding player in the Homecoming game. The spirit of Homecoming prevailed, and October 18, 1968, will never be forgotten. The Magic Carpet Ride Like three year olds wait for Christmas, the Juniors and Seniors had waited for the prom since the be- ginning of school. Despite their anxiety over the success of the pro- gram and lead-out, everything went as planned: the night seemed magical. Sparkling decorations, exotic refresh- ments, authentic costumes combined with the resounding vibrations of the Royale V to cast the spell of a Moonlight Oasis. f.-an , ,vi 'PY Y 1 uv. - ..,:.-,ste 9 i f wy- If x .J J l 73: Q,,.i'1.7?:2 , if.. ., U N . .

Because of its function as a service organization, Beta Club performs such services as providing maps of the school for new students, taking food baskets to needy families, and washing the auditorium windows before graduation. Once a year Betas descend on the school and surrounding areas selling candy. Profits from the candy sale help to defray the costs of Beta Convention, where Betas re- ceive compensation for their hard work.

The rule book was hidden when that book went to press because the staff wanted to please the students. With this concept still in mind, the 1969 staff took on the chore of editing an even better yearbook. We made changes, but they were backed by hours of thought.

The girls' basketball team, led by the hot shooting of Iris Brasher and Karen Chambless, won five games against three losses in Class B, losing only to the Class C powers. As they went into region play, seeded three, they stood a very good chance of winning it all. As we go to press the outcome is uncertain.

Season Record: 8-95 The Price of Inexperience 1969 was a break-even year for the Bulldogs. With only two re- turning lettermen, the team surprised everyone with their determination. Although they managed only eight victories, the Dogs entered region competition with hopes of going all the way to win the State title. Again, as we go to press, the outcome is un- certain, but one thing is sure - the Bulldogs have a will to succeed that will be hard to beat. RIGHT: Captains - J.
