'I O yearns E-after Ten years...a decade...PV progress! '44 National Merit Finalists 'FBLA State Champs five times 'All American newspaper six years 'AAA, AAAA football champs 'Foreign Languages winners 'Teachers' honors 'Student Council governs 'Speech-debate state winners 'Band, Choir ratings high All proved that we're still tickin' along. Susan Fountain, an upper classman for three years at the new school, recalled, I first saw the new school with Mrs. McGehee. It was still under construction, school was scheduled to begin, and I couIdn't believe they would finish it. Susan and other ninth graders had the choice of attending Parkview or the other high school whose district they had lived in. School spirit was strong, Susan remembered, but not centered on the football team, like it is now. Our first team played only B-teams and the results were sad. We built school spirit by working together to develop ' a different school for different people. The slogan was used on the Constitution nameplate for five years, Susan, the editor, recalled. Organizations formed. The Student Council gradually became more func- tioning, and when John Bloom was first senior president in 1970-71, it was truly a governing organ. The debate over a mascot was what Coach Choate remembered most. He said that the choices narrowed down to three: Playboys, Cowboys and Patriots. Imagine bunnies performing halftime routines! A majority vote decided the issue, and Patriots it became. Publications' staffs followed the theme by naming the newspaper Constitution, the year- book Spirit of 69 and the literary magazine For the People, By the People. The second year Liberty Belles became the drill team's name. 'ik Student Life t C97
