Freshman Orientation The class of 1970 found high school only a little confusing as they gathered for Freshman Orientation just prior, to the opening of school last fall. On the Friday before school got officially under way, the freshmen were given a sneak-preview of the high school, and a detailed explanation of the handbook and their class schedules. Student Council members conducted tours of the building and managed to slip in such helpful hints as, “If you’re late to a class, you’ve really had it!” Thanks to the help of the Council members and to the tolerance of the teachers during those first few days, the freshmen began to feel right at home in no time at all. At the close of the Orientation Week, a street dance was sponsored by the Student Council, to help the freshmen become better acquainted with their upper classmen. Belozc: Student Council members and Mr. Kingston distribute handbooks to incoming Freshmen. Right Top: Student Council V.P., Judy Donaldson, was there to welcome all new frosh.
