A Happy Homecoming To inititate the Homecoming week a helium balloon lift-off was held. A bed race down 25th Avenue was held with a five man team, one rider and four pushers. The overall winners of the race were sophmores Rick Plaisance , Marion Strickler, Judy Schneider , Lori Eckhardt, Shawn Moore and Cathy Csorba. The location for the student-versus-the faculty tug-of-war was a slimy ditch. The students pulled off a mudriffic victory leaving the faculty to waller in their defeat.

No Virginia, Santa Claus Students participated in Saturation Sat¬ urday , a program to make the voters aware of the issue, by distributing leaflets in various public areas. Six of these stu¬ dents, shown leaving the high school, are Jamie Eng man, Eric Fields, Rob Kritzmire, Julie Goodwin, Cindy Moore, and Patti Johnson. Save Our Schools Darkness descended on the Rock land School District, December 18th when the voters of Rock Island and Milan defeated a proposed school tax increase. In one of the largest voter turnouts, 14,000 citizens went to the polls with 6,100 voting in support of the proposal, and 7,800 voting no. The severe financial situation of the sys¬ tem was brought to a climax after the 1975-76 budget had been adopted. Four things happened which radically reduced the districts actual finances. Governor Dan Walker vetoed general state aid funding which had previously been a law, also vetoed a bill for special education funds and signed a bill which reduced the district ' s projected tax receipts. With the Walker cuts and the pay increase, a $1,365,000 deficit now existed. In order to meet the 7976-77 budget, $1.3 million was cut. Cuts made included administrators, teachers, and other staff members. Class sizes were increased to an average of 28 students, and all differ¬ entials for extra-curricular activities, with the exception of the Watchtower, were eliminated. The entire athletic program was cut out, as well as cuts on numerous other programs. The school board now called upon the public to help ease the financial crunch. The voters were asked to approve a tax increase of .63 cents per $100 assessed valuation. Clarifying some final details of the stu¬ dent solidarity march is, student school board member, Joel Press. 18 Education
