An Unforgettable Semester With the resuming of school in August, seniors gradually settled into thinking of themselves as seniors and their underclassmen made a similar transition. School and civic events coupled with changes in faculty, administration, and school policy contributed to an unforgettable fall semester. Books, movies, television programs, record albums, and world events influenced lives. 1978 was the year of the Bee Gees. “Mork and Mindy” and ‘‘Battlestar Galactica” made their debut with a list of other shows. “Saturday Night Fever,” “Sgt. Pepper s Lonely Hearts Club Band.” and “Grease” finally made their way to the local giant screen. Locally, football and related activities consumed most of the first semester. From the first Soap and Towel Game to the fateful semi-final playoff with Booneville, all else played second fiddle. Negotiating yearbook sales.

The Scrapper s game with DeQueen drew a record Scrapper Stadium crowd of more than 5000. Although most attended the Friday night game, on the other nights that week the carnival attracted crowds. Students rode the Round Up, Tilt-A-Whirl, ferris wheel, and other rides, tried the booths, and devoured a fair share of cotton candy. School dismissed early Friday, September 15 for the parade.
