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

As I hit the off button on the alarm, I forced my tired body out of my warm, soft bed. It finally dawned on me, today was not just an ordinary, dreary Monday morning, but the first day of school! The walk from my bedroom to the bathroom seemed like an eternity. As I finished my business, I turned the water on and cautiously stepped my right, then my left foot into the cold shower. Ahh, awake at last! Looking at the clock, which now said 7:00, I decided I'd better put the Waking Up in Sleepy. Coach Woody Jolley wakes up daily to his private alarm clock, the cross country team's knock. pedal to the metal. I dashed downstairs past the den and into the kitchen. I gulped down a glass of orange juice and grabbed a piece of bacon and toast. Running out the door I bade fare- well to my dog and my mom. She wished me luck for the day and was still complaining about my hurried breakfast. That's the way, it was as the first day of school had only just begun. 85.
