Ax x, W g, . i t 3 l 5 .1 .1 , 3 Pool-A-Thon- A hugh splash was seen as the school year opened, setting waves in motion that one day will result in a long-cherished dream come true. A recreational complex including a community swimming pool with lighted basketball, handball, and tennis courts was pure fantasy until this year when significant strides were made towards the realization of this S200,000 dream. A committee, under the leadership of Mr. Bill White as president and Mr. Bob Sanders as fu nd raising chairman, initiated action with a Pinto raffle and a Pool-a-Thon swim-in. By the end of first semester, 510,000 had been raised for the construction of the Miguel Community Aquatic Center. fTopJ Coach Ned Blass encouraged students to contribute to the Pool-A-Thon campaign during halftime of Homecoming game by promising to go swimming if enough mon- ey was tossed out of the stands. !Top Rightl Mr. Robert Sanders was the man behind the scenes contributing not only money, but also many hours of planning necessary to the cre- ation ofa successful money-raising campaign. Mbove Right? One gimmick used to raise money was the Pinto Raffle. Each raffle ticket, sold at 51.00 each, was worth one chance to win an olive green 1974 Pinto Runabout. The lucky winner shown here was Larry Shunk. fkightl Every swimmer who completed the maximum 200 laps in the two hour time limit earned the right to sign his or her name to the 200 or Bust poster displayed in the main office.

Energy Crisis Changes Life Styles, Classes, Starting Time ,Q Conservation of energy became a way of life on campus as the nation's energy crisis became a fact of life. Most affected by the conservation measures we re field trips. ln many cases, planned trips had to be canceled. In other cases, a shift in time resulted according to the availability of fuel. On campus, awareness of electric use resulted in reduction of light burning. Thermostats were turned down, and cu rtailment of unnecessary outside night lighting was noticeable to students arriving at school before daybreak. Daylight saving time imposed darkness on first period physical education classes and auto shop for those scheduled to work out of doors. Moving the starting bell for the day from 7:00 a.m. to 7:30 in lanuary alleviated some of the inconvenience. All planning both present and future is affected by concern for conservation, stated Dr. Robert Pyle, principal. f' I' ' I, ,ii if I 'l 0 l ll , , . it -s 'f.2 92 13 : .- . .
