Is This Real yearbook workshops and band camp, and many took spontaneous road trips to nearby vacation spots. Just as the fireworks went off in New York to celebrate the Statue of Liberty com- memoration, the summer fashions lit up New Kent. Jams were below the knees, and high tops in hot summer colors were the rage. Students expected the school year to consist of typi- cal rules, clubs, athletic accomplishments, people, and grades. A new year or What? brought about new additions. The new tardy policy seemed more strict, said Laura Norris. Fewer tardies resulted in harsher punishments. Students could always be found running through the halls yelling as they passed their friends, No, I can't talk now. l'll see you later. l've already got two tardies l The newest addition was the Art Club. This was New Kent's answer to cultural appreciation of the Fine Arts. The sports competitions really boosted morale. The The marching band performed at the Homecoming game during halftime. A much-practiced routine went smoothly preceding the Homecoming court presentations. The small size of the band did not hamper the band's energy and spirit. 4 Unpredictable activities. A. football team's win against West Point was surprising, the first in several years. 1973 was the last year that many yards had been posted. The soccer team's regional championship was also a shocker! That came as a surprise because the new coach, Mr. John Gu- lick, was able to lead the team to the regional championship. I never planned to see a 'B' on my Chemistry report card, Philip Brinkley ecstatically commented. Tina Olgers also boasted, My grades have been unpredictably good. Then there was always the cry of Oh no, Mom and Dad are going to kill me when they see this grade. Teachers have definitely been unpredictable. The many moods may have resulted from the pressure of the school's accredidatlon evalua- tion that caused some teacher burnout. The opposite sex is always unpredictable, Robert Tas groaned. You never know how that favorite person is going to act, or even your parents for that matter. My parents have really been unbelievableg they let me do all kinds of unexpec- ted things, Tina Parsley said happily as she discussed her plans for Friday night. Life in and out of school is always unpredictable, Dacia Kaye reported. And so it goes the unpredicability of it all.
