Darrin Smith graduated in '78. My yearbook staff felt that I was one in a Million in 1978- 79. I got several new clothes: a stadium, an east campus, a band room and a parking lot. Stu- dents would leave the stadium after football games and go to their favorite hangout, McDonalds. We got new hall passes that were designed and produced by Mr. Jerry Logan and Mr. Lonnie Thomas. The year saw an enrollment of 635 with 119 of them being seniors. A terrible thing happened; my mother caught fire. The fire was bad enough for mother to be completely rebuilt. The new building housed the intermedi- ate department (grades 4-6) of the elementary school. The pri- mary department (K-3) re- mained in the south end rooms of the main building (my build- ing). Another fantastic year in sports. We made it to the state finals in football again. At the end of the school year, Mr. L. W. Good retired as superinten- dent and Dr. Donald M. Ed- wards became superintendent. In my ninth year, 1979-80 we tried a new form of discipline called IN HOUSE SUSPENSION. It didn't work out to well. We discontinued it after the school year was over. I started the year with 584 students, 113 seniors. We had another outstanding year in sports. And now I'm ten years old. I love being ten. My birthday party (homecoming festivities) was super. A lot of my graduates came to see how I was getting along and to help me celebrate. My total enroll- ment is 582, with 95 seniors. We made it to the district play- offs in football. My marching Band won first place in the Northeast Clean Team's annual Christmas parade. Oh, what a decade to re- member! Our next Decade to Remember; Author Brison and Shanae Newton. Inflation has struck the pockets of all of us except Eric Ford. Opening • 3

 Early in the morning Early about 7:00 at Millwood High, the students mainly seventh grad- ers, are running around carefree of studies. The teachers come in with long faces. The next group of people to come in are the high school students. They make it in at 7:45 to 8:00, in the event that you should be one of these unfortu- nate persons, you would go to one of two places, Mr. Scales or Mrs. Factory's office. The fortu- nate students go on to their first hour to let their day begin. Try to get a hole in one Marvin Haw- kins. Get in your seat or you will be tardy Davina Hall. Can't nothing stop the togetherness of Sharon Kindle and David Love. Better find those books Karen Sillas or you just may be late for first hour. School Life • 5
