l 2 U5 o Q.: D '.: U FU OD C u: o. U3 Breaking ever day routine The back parking lot was a different sight on Saturday, May 7, as it was converted into a fair ground. When North Garland held its first school carnival, the parking lot was dotted with decorated booths built by different school clubs. Despite dark clouds and a few sprinkles of rain, the students working in their booths appeared to have enjoyed the day. The scanty crowd that attended was provided with various games and refreshments. Leann Benson remarked, There was not enough publicity. The carnival is a good idea, and I think we should do it again. Last year was our first year to try it, but now we know what to do. The 1977 Marauders were presented to the student body on Friday, May 13. As students were called to the gym, excitement grew as they anticipated the presentation. The theme was Growth Creates Change and it was exemplified through changes in the book. It was dedicated to Mr. Neil Chamberlain and Ms. Peggy McCarty. During the assembly, co-editors Gay Huffaker and Lori Thiessen read portions of the opening and closing sections. Members of the Marauder Staff were also introduced. Finally, Gay Co-editors Cay Huffaker and Lori Thiessen pre- pare for the next morning's assembly. For the staff breakfast, Lori Thiessen wraps each book so that the cover will be a surprise. Y S tore away the wrapping surrounding the book, revealing the maroon brick cover. The crowd cheered, standing as they applauded the copper imprint of their school. The changes in the book brought about both positive and negative reactions. Doug Cross stated, There was really good photography, especially the color shots. The articles were interesting and the new size is more dignified. I liked the even coverage of all the organizations too. Kim Bebee refuted, The organizational pictures were way too small. I did not like the Celebrity Ball section because it seemed too jumbled and unorganized. There was too much writing and the senior pictures were too small. Commencement exercises were held Wednesday, May 25, at 8:00 p.m. in Moody Coliseum, This marked the beginning of a new part of life for the graduates. Some would enter college while others would take on a full-time job. Seniors proudly received their diplomas and sang their Alma Mater. Challenging participants to dunk her into the A cappella choir's dunking booth, Sheila Thomas, historian, awaits the next customer. 4f2,gi, ...ef .... . 'z - Ziff?
