The band members had a tough one that weekend The next day they marched at OU Band Day and again in the evening at the King Korn Carnival in Plattsmouth. Money making projects abounded all over Platteview. The Business Club opened with magazine sales. Any one in grades 7-12 who sold, received a gift worthy of their effort. Candies, hats. pens. hams, turkeys, radios, cookies, invaded the market via clubs and organizations and of course the big effort on fruit cakes by the band for their Canadian trip. A brand new punishment came into use this year for those trouble-some kids: 8th hour. Running from 3:30 to 4:00 on Mondays and Wednesdays. A teacher could give one to anybody deserv- ing. and commonly did. Honor passes took a new dimension. After much discussion the pass was ex- tended to include first period The admin- istration was weary of it at first for fear someone would sneak in late, not having to report to a teacher, but these honor students proved they would not misuse this privilege. Even though there were new additions to our school’s activities, the old ones still remained. And they all made demands on our time and effort. The Trojan Tabloid Staff was still turning out those papers to inform the uninformed on news and other tidbits. A couple of the Media classes even tried their talents with journalistic attempts

Remember. Band members, early in the fall what you had to do to prepare for the Pershing Marching Festival? School started at 7:30 every weather-permitting day. Along with that came a lot of sore throats and aching muscles not to mention the worn out shoes. Right on the heels of Pershing came the Senior Class Play tryout and then practice, practice, and more practice for “Theater in the Round.” Right in the middle of this; they ordered their an- nouncements. keys, and memory books. This sounded the beginning of signatures and a search for pictures and other memorabilia. The Juniors, who had ordered their class rings in May as Sophomores, re- ceived those treasures early this Fall. Many were lost within the week to their steady date. Remember, as the end of first quar- ter rolled around and the teachers ac- cumulated enough data to evaluate us. we found out if all that extra credit work was really worth it or not. Football and Volleyball season ended giving us a couple of weeks to rest up and squeeze in those class parties we planned and waited for. Then began the Winter season of Pep Rallies to build spirit for the basketball and wrestling teams. Remember the first snow of the sea- son? It fell late in November. We woke up with 1” of snow on the ground. With this came visions of school being called off because of snow But not once was school called off this year Our 80-piece band began planning the trip to Winnepeg, Canada for the Mani- sphere. There, in June, they participated in the street marching and concert con- tests hoping to bring home the sweep- stakes. 8
