K I gy 2 M ' I Suzanne Suzanne Leslie was chosen New Mex- ico's Athlete of the Month for January by the Amateur Athletic Union. 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

March's changing seasons reflected new activities for Sandia's populace as the end of school loomed ever closer. Swimming and basketball tourneys, baseball games, golf, tennis matches and track meets kept sports fans busy in March. Student Body Council endorsed faculty plans for a scholarship fund in memory of Mrs. Evelyn Civerolo. Homerooms raised money for the fund with proiects ranging from a coffee shop to buying out of class. Local students participating in summer tours, including 60 Sandians, attended a fashion show at Sandia to select ap- propriate wardrobes for their summer tours of Europe. Dramatists kept busy with a class presentation of The Wizard of Oz and rehearsals for the April all-school pro- duction of Dylan Thomas's Under Milk- wood. Plans for summer school were an- nounced, and students began thinking of next year as pre-registration ap- proached. Albuquerque Youth Council sponsored a Teen Arts-Crafts Fair March 27-28. Explosions on Israel-bound planes led to baggage checks by x-ray, stethoscope and simple scrutinizing from top to bot- tom. The Arab terrorist attacks also led to frisking of passengers. Charles DiBona replaced Lieutenant General Lewis B. Hershey, 76, who had stepped down as director of the newly revised Selective Service System. Expo-70 opened in Osaka, Japan, for a 183 day run. The architecturally phenomenal exhibits of 72 countries centered around the theme of progress and harmony. Despite frequent demonstrations, French President Georges Pompidou made his first visit to the United States. Included in his nine day tour were con- ferences with President Nixon and trips to Cape Kennedy, San Francisco, Chi- cago and New York. Avalanches plagued communities in the Alpine nations with Switzerland suf- fering its worst since 1749. North Vietnamese and Pathet Lao troops again attacked Laos, capturing the Plain of Jars and the Moung Soui airstrip. Many Americans worried that as the country's involvement in South Vietnam lessened, involvement in Laos would increase. The eclipse of the century occurred March 7. Path of visibility of the eclipse cut across Mexico and the United States. The next visible solar phenomenon is expected in the year 2024. Recently suspended Detroit Tiger star pitcher Denny McLain and former pitch- ing great Dizzy Dean were among those charged in a nationwide sports gambling scandal. Let It Be emerged as the top song of March. Ever popular Funny Girl returned to city theaters, again attracting large audiences.
