EHHJIBS Machines took students to all their various activities and jobs. These cars, jeeps, and trucks came in var- ious sizes and colors allowing for very individualized transportation. For example: Bill Bach 's maroon truck, or Carter McEvoy's royal blue hot rod, or Dennis Kerr's light blue VW sedan, or Terri Lyon's orange VW with Porsche written on the sides, or Pam VanWey's old gray truck. A person's vehicle was of- ten a student's l.D. card. No matter what we were doing, machines had some part in our activities. There would have been no dancing at the dances without the record player for music and the emcee couldn't have been heard with- out a microphone. just as with dances, no rock con- cert would have been worth going to without the electric guitars and amplifiers. Those who enjoyed relaxing at Snoopy's or Indian Hills Fun Center had pinball machines to occupy their leisure time.

For everyone who clocked in and out on a time clock, time was money and a machine was depended upon to make sure that time was right. Machines were very important to voters. Votes were recorded and counted and were sent across the country to be reported nationally and locally on TV, The outcome was surprising as well as depressing to some and expected by others. When you look back and count all the machines used in a year, a month or even a day, you see how mechanized mankind has become. Whether relaxing, or working we are involved in machines, almost to the point of becoming machines ourselves. Factories were already starting to make robots and had back orders for thousands of the automated chil- dren. Perhaps one day you will realize the clerk be- hind the counter is not human, but a reasonable facsimile. .,.-11.- K

1 Royalty Suffers From Unfriendly Temperatures Homecoming Eve 2 Over IHJ all West, was one of the slogans that prevailed through homecoming week. Traditionally, homecoming is the climax of a week of activity, and '76 was no exception. The busy week included dressup days, Wednesday being the day for everyone to wear their overalls. Class competition went on throughout the week with seniors capturing first place. The week ended with a pep assembly, in which the candidates were introduced and a brief summary of their school activities was given. That night, at halftime, as the band wrote out North in script, the female candidates received a chilling ride around the field in a convertible at the coldest game of the season. Fans, bundled up in their parkas and blankets, watched the
