During the hrst week of school each class attended an annual welcomes back another class and discusses the responsibilities of assembly to welcome back the student body Here Mr Miller that class and how they will affect the other classes. Summer memories fade os school yeor sforfs 'Q4h, memories! That's how most of the student body felt as the beginning of the school year drew closer. For many students, summer held memories of long, lazy days, maybe a trip or two to California, parties, and Big Surf However, as school drew closer, the minds of students took a new turn. Long lines of empty-handed students slowly moved into the bookstore, coming out loaded with books and an ever increasing dread of school, teachers, and work. While the student body was enjoying their vacation, the school was undergoing a few changes. The biggest change was the stadium which slowly raised itself higher and higher from the ground. Even a month before school began, the school slowly started to pulse to lie again with teachers preparing for the onslaught of students in September. Slowly, the memories of students and teachers dimmed as school loomed larger on the horizon. Finally, it happened. The cycle of summer ended. School had begun. Throughout the summer, Saguaro students eagerly watched the building of our stadium in hopes it would be ready for the 1970-71 football season. Unfortunately, it was not Hnished in time for any football game of the year. STUDENT LIFE - 15
