Inspired by the viewing of The Gong Show and Mary Hart man, Mary Hartman during class time, the newspaper staff pro- duced an unprecedented series of controversial and innovative issues. THE MOUNTAIN featured articles concerning the pres- idential election, pregnancy at school, and the drill team, as well as coverage of the usual variety of school events. No area of importance , no matter how taboo , was side- stepped.

Color photographs were opted out be- cause of expense and a March auction was planned to raise funds to meet publishing costs.

Two sections, Academics and Stud- ent Life, appeared for the first time and more emphasis was placed on community related activities to provide better coverage of the year's events.
