SCHOOL BEGINS WITH Strike Worry cloud, dance, class voting Students began this year with more than their usual quota of worries. The Steelworkers strike had closed Phelps Dodge operation the middle of July and no settlement was in sight. With help from company credit, union allowances for lunchroom tokens and books, most students began school with the necessary books and supplies. Following registration, life was readjusted to the sound of alarm clocks and school bells. The first weekend found freshmen struggling up the mountain to whitewash the M and sophomores welcoming new students with a dance. ln rapid succession came meeting new teachers and the taking of individual and senior pictures. Excitement bubbled as our school sweaters came out of moth balls for the first home football game. All too soon came mid time of the first grading period. Some students were proud while others resolved to work harder next time. LAZ Y SA TURDA YS, above, found football fans adding spirit to I V. games.
