a .Students Are Welcomed Sept. 9, 1970 - This was the first day of school for the l970-71 year. Students came back and found friends and teachers they hadn't seen in three months. The initial day of school consisted of the teacher and student meeting each other, attend- ance, and other first day duties. The most important occurrence on the first day was the First Day Assem- bly. The Assembly, held in the gymnasium, was begun by Principal Douglas Fredericks. He welcomed all returning and new students and gave his wishes for a good year. Student Council President Elizabeth Solomon followed him, she urged cooperation be- tween the student body and student council. She then introduced the other officers of the Student Council, John Zervas, Vice President, Karen Kern, Recording Secretary, Barbara Arm, Corresponding Secretary, and Sue Yaffe, Treasurer. There was ex- citement for a few moments when Barbara Arm an- nounced that Frayed-Bottom long jeans would be allowed in the dress code. When all speeches were completed, Mr. Hartnett came to the stand and dis- missed the students. Thus, the first assembly had ended and the stu- dents left the room wondering who their teachers would be. Principal Orients Frosh Sept. 21, 1970 - The Freshman Class was offi- cially welcomed into the high school during the an- nual Freshman Orientation.

Steve Morse and Mr. Lefsky spoke to the seniors about the yearbook and asked for their support and help. Former class president, Charlie Brown concluded the meeting by speaking about last year's accom- plishments. The Junior Class held their first class meeting to discuss plans for the year. Ray Hodnett, president, spoke of the money-making ideas which were not yet final. A wishing well could be used, or toy ani- mals, polyfluff, could be sold, or a band and light show might be given, and as always, the selling of beat cards and pretzels would be included. The prom theme would be discussed later. Miss Malcom and Miss Sherman were the class advisors. Because the Sophomore Class was so large, Mr. Fredericks thought the sophomores should be or- ganized. Mr. Ercolino was the class advisor. The purpose of the new sophomore class would be to raise money for old debts, new activities, the Junior Prom and the float. The first class meetings held on this day were to organize, get started, and get the students infer- ested in their class. I5
