Socializing is sometimes more important than studying in chemistry. Dancing is one way of celebrating yet an- other topper victory.

Attitudes Change From Me To Us An interesting thing has happened recently that has been unprecedented within the last few years. Rather than our adhering strictly to an identification with one particular club or organization we have begun to ex- pand our energies and talents in new and creative ways. There is a new feeling that a happy high school ex- perience can come better when we become unified and work together. This year alone, more school dances have been sponsored by such organizations as Pep Club, Student Council, PTSA, and the Athletic Boosters Club. These dances, held after football and basketball games pro- vide a common meeting place for the students where they can dance, talk and enjoy each others friendship, not to mention the celebration of our team's impres- sive athletic records. These dances best symbolize the new feeling of spirit, friendship and participation that has marked the beginning of this new decade. In addition, this year for the first time, students run- ning for Student Government had to compete for the position. In the past, students had only to volunteer for the position and hand in a petition. Along with this increase in school participation, attendance and spirit at ball games has been up considerably over past years. All of these factors indicate a new realization among us that we are members of the school as a whole and must contribute our share to make it an en- joyable part of our lives. A new look for the topper sign is formed by the J.V. cheerleaders as they express their enthusiasm over the toppers success. Boundries of smaller groups are broken down at the pep rallies to make us all part of a larger group. 4

Student Enthusiasm Reflects a New Mood Nowhere can the Turning Point be seen clearer than the spirit generated by athletics. The football team began the year with a new sense of pride and enthusiasm which quickly spread throughout the school. Instead of the usual apathy or even boo's , the Topper teams drew enthusiastic cheers. A standing ovation was given to the football team during the Pep Rallies. Before and after the games, fans flocked to the playing field to express their enthusiasm. Even the community of Johnson City joined in to express the Topper Spirit. For the first time, the Mayor proclaimed our homecoming week as Topper Appreciation Week. A new pride in our school marks the turning point of a new mood, and brings us together as one school.
