Epidemic Strikes! During March and April a strange malady of epidemic proportions strikes. Changed be- havior patterns is the first noticeable sym- ptom, affecting both students and teachers. Victims faces take on a bland look, accom- panied by long, wistful sighs and an abnormal desire to be out in the sun. Classes are no longer held in the building as the disease spreads to the teachers. Mass behavior becomes more exotic as the disease progresses. March of Dimes week, normally uneventful, is transformed by fren- zied money raising competition between class- es, won by a normally uninterested class, the freshmen. Eventhe most conservative teachers display radical behavior. A Popular Teacher contest, sponsored by seniors, results in the winning teacher, Mr. Timothy Wood, receiv- ing a bananna cream pie in the face! The disease reaches it peak in the second week of April, known tothe students as Spring Week. By inventing activities, sym- pathetuc Girl's League satisfies the widespread cravings to do wild,outlandish things. Peanuts were craved, sold, and crunched amid the crowning of Mr. Irresistable Danny Gehl, and Western day, the wildest day of the week. On Spring day, when all the students wear their brightest spring clothes, all sym- toms of the disease disappear, literally dam- pened by rain, only to sporadically reap- pear on sunny days throughout May.

lVote for Mel' Nervously mutilating their note cards, the candidates, seated in front of the stu- dent body, wait for their campaign man- ager's introductory speeches to end and their speeches to begin. As always, the moment each candidate reaches the microphone his long, memorized speech is forgotten and the now flustered candidate receives his first experience with impromptu speaking. In the week prior to the assembly the candidates plastered the halls with enormous bright signs, covered floors, lockers and classrooms with fliers and buttons, all clever- ly saying Vote for me! Immediately after the assembly the votes are cast and the candidates spend a long, worried weekend waiting for the returns. A near tie in the presidential race threatens to delay the returns even more, but Ray Grimm is victorious over Jeff Poppe and Dan Lantz. Greg Hettman gives his campaign speech for the office of Student Body Vice-President. Joeleen Jeli repeats her oath after Nancy Eyman for the office of Recording Secretary. Hi, my name is Vickie Robertsonfsays Tom Wicklund, getting a laugh from his speech in-proxy for the absent Vickie Robertson.
