H ovies and television played an important role in the lives of most people at Pike. Activities and schedules revolved around them. People made sure they were home or around a T.V. set in time for their fa- vorite show. On rainy weekends, people swarmed to the nearest movie theatre to see a movie they most likely had seen before.

The theme song of Welcome Back, Kotter even made the top of the charts in late May. Shows like Mary Tyler Moore and The Waltons continued to be strong.

Still, no matter what the reason, they are a form of entertainment enjoyed by most everyone.

Right: In the true spirit of Homecoming ' s 50 ' s day, sophomore Mark Bernhardt slicked back his hair and donned his shades. It ' s funny how people make word associations. Mention authority, and they ' ll say Mr. Schiavone. Bring up restrooms, and you ' ll hear smoking. And if you talk about spirit anywhere in Indiana, you ' ll get bas- ketball thrown right back at you. Obviously, spirit is not confined to basketball. It ' s found in plays, between classes, and in the band, to name a few. But take a look inside the gym on Friday or Saturday nights when the weather transforms your breath into a white, wispy cloud, and you ' ll see spirit abounding in excess. The Indiana climate is perfect, the hardwood soil is rich, and its roots stretch deep below the bleachers that
