Sport Senorita crowned in February February's atmosphere was one of suspense and tension with Sports Senorita and TWIRP King selections and a hint of an economic recession nationally. Sports Senorita Michelle Barnes was crowned during half-time ceremonies at the Highland High basketball game Feb. 7. Names of 12 National Merit Scholar- ship Finalists, the largest number in San- dia's history, were announced Feb. 16. Juniors took the preliminary test Feb. 17. TWIRP Week, February's largest at- traction, provided a chance for Sandia's girls to ask out their favorite boys. The week was filled with many activities ranging from Sadie Hawkins game night, to Thursday's TWIRP assembly and the crowning of TWIRP King, Lerry Arm- stead. Seniors continued their preparations for graduation with measuring for scarlet caps and gowns Feb. 24. High point of the year for the iuniors was reached with the distribution of class rings Feb. 27. Activities 47

Plans were announced designating the present D wing to become next year's multi-purpose library. Sandians were saddened by the death of Mrs. Evelyn Civerolo. A veteran art teacher at Sandia since it opened, she died after a series of heart attacks. With turn on to Jesus as a slogan and the attraction on a new type of ministry, Arthur Blessit walked through Albuquerque. Save the Alvarado was the vain cry of some Albuquerqueans as a wrecking company began demolition of the his- toric hotel. The State Legislature passed anti-air and water pollution bills. Included in the penalties for large pollutors were 51,000-55,000 a day fines. The Merry Round House, State Legis- lature, lived up to its name by reiecting, passing, recalling and amending bills. Repercussions of youthful violence were felt when New Orleans' Mardi Gras came periously close to being called off because of iniuries resulting from the violence. Southern white demonstrators turned to violence against the Supreme Court's forced integration of public schools, in- cluding bussing blacks to formerly white schools. The Chicago Seven trial ended after five months of insults to the judicial pro- cess. The iury acquitted two and sen- tenced the other five to various prison terms on Conspiracy to Incite charges. George Harrold Carswell was nomin- ated to the Supreme Court by President Nixon. This raised cries claiming that he was a racist because of past activi- ties. Although the government insisted that the country was not in a recession, the stock market kept going down, prices up and defense cuts continued. John and Mary proved to be the most patronized movie and Bridge over Troubled Water was the most popular song. left: Suzanne Leslie floats during a swim session. upper, right: Sandia was saddened by the death of Mrs. Evelyn Civerolo, shown here in the teachers' lounge. fur, upper, right: Faculty members discuss plans for the D wing library. right: In efforts to curb this, the State Legislature passed anti pollution bills. fphoto by Dick Kentl
