Something old, something new... Some 1,026 new faces appeared when classes began Monday, Aug. 28. The things they were doing, though, were not so new. Over half of the new-comers and many old-timers, grads and upper- classmen, attended orientation the Friday before, when students were introduced to clubs, organizations and leaders of the senate. The only thing missing from the same-old- thing event was Principal Frank Guz- ick, who was home recuperating from what he termed virus-mocus . Freshmen had yet to find out about his infamous tie-trick. Classes Monday brought the drudgery of opening-week activities. Looking for lockers and learning combinations which often didn't work, aiding or hindering lost fresh- men, correcting schedule conflicts, picking up books from the bookroom and long hours in homeroom were typical activities. The second week, only four days long because of Labor Day holiday, brought normality; or, at least, a step toward it. Mr. Guzick returned for half-days. Students, over their excite- ment of a new school year, settled into the routine. Teachers, feeling their classes were stabilized, began teaching in earnest. School had begun. Already bitten by the Raider l og. freshman Cheryl Kennedy looks on as cheerleaders per- form at orientation. People 17

Poster child provides inspiration to March of Dimes helpers I saw a little girl named Diana walk for the first time without her braces. She was a March of Dimes poster child. Steve Bardin, junior and lieutenant governor of the East Texas Oklahoma division of Key Clubs International said this after attending the international conven- tion in Washington last summer. He continued, What made me realize how important our work was, was knowing that our projects, like for the March of Dimes, could help people like Diana to walk. A universal purpose, a large num- ber of interested members, sincerity and good organization were ele- ments needed for a good school club. The Key Club and the newly formed Keywanetle chapter, found and used these elements as they served the school and community with more active man and woman hours than any other Skyline group. Recognized by their ties or dresses, which they had to wear on meeting days, both groups had over 50 active members each, who participated in at least two activities a month. Breath deep.
