BACKSTAGE WITH AGAWASIE When you study the special Wildcat Willie section on pages 80-96, you won’t find any mention of the lovely young Wildcat model because we thought we’d make you guys sweat it for awhile, and because we thought the girls wouldn’t he as interested as the male student body. We won’t keep you in suspense any longer. Her name is Amy Lou Hewitt and she’s a dental assisting student from Carrington. Her phone number is ... in the student directory. The feature on Chalis on page 88 was put to press before they gained another member. Agnwasie is sorry that Michael Foerster couldn’t be included in that story. In case some of you are wondering exactly what Agawasie is patterned after, it’s Esquire magazine. They were good enough to let us follow their style. The 1976-77 school year at Science was the year of KING KONG in motion pictures and the year when the nation turned on to TEETH in politics. This was also the year of the drought, the energy crisis. Jimmy Carter, the nationwide Citizens Hand (CBl craze, the Vikings fourth trip and fourth loss in the Super Bowl, sex scandals in Congress. Chevy Chase and Saturday Night Live. Barbara Walters as America’s million dollar baby. Gerald Ford and Renee Richards (formerly Richard Raskin). It was the Homecoming queen election disputes, the rising food prices. Cats on an ice cold grid. Cats on a lukewarm court. Cats on a red hot mat. the energy crunch, the Wilkin, and the Blazer. For the most part, the 1976-77 school year at NDSSS was a good one and Agawasie hopes you enjoyed your year of living it up and learning. NDSSS is the third largest college in the state, but Science has the largest freshmen class in North Dakota. Science is growing and will continue to expand in the future. Junior colleges (especially SSS) are doing in two years what four-year schools arc trying to do: prepare students for the working world. And NDSSS is doing it with much success. Ix ts of things happen on the SSS campus that the Agawasie isn’t able to cover because of deadlines. But we have done our best to portray life at Science. What it all boils down to is this: Yearbook work is hard work (the staff of Agawasie can tell you about the pressures). Anyway, we did it, we're proud of it; you can read and enjoy it.

During her two years of competition at NDSSS, she established two personal records in the 100 and 400 meter hurdles and was a member of the record-setting 440 yard relay and 880 yard spring medley teams. 6 SSS Women’s Track When the NDSSS women's track team began its second year in 1976. it looked like a year to build to the future as most teams do when they arc beginning only their second season. However. Science proved this was not to be the case. In the first meet of the season, SSS outdistanced several other colleges to win the Manana Relays. After a couple of hard meets. Science came back to place third at their own invitational. At the state meet with Vanessa Hackey capturing first in the 100 and 400 meter hurdles, the NDSSS team took fourth place. The climax of the season came when the -140 relay team, consisting of Jean Rick. Sue Larson. Karen Seefeldt and Vanessa Hackey. finished third at the National Junior College Meet held in Dodge City. Kansas. That performance enabled Science to finish ninth in the national meet. The 1976 women's track team broke twelve outdoor school records and tied one more. With that accomplished in only its second year, and eight returning letter winners, coach Dee Jenson could have one of the top teams in t he nat ion t his year. «0 Relay Team participating at National : •Jean Rick.
