PLYMOUTH ROCK •IwXIXu TUB UBCLABATlUX Or IBBBTBWUSSCB. Wait Just a Bicentennial Minute! Keeping with the tradition of the Bicentennial, the 1976 yearbook brings a touch of history to the readers. Now is the time for all Americans to appreciate all the events of the past two hundred years. We should ban together to show our respect for our forefathers and our concern for our progeny. With this in mind, we hope to bring the readers a closer look at Sparta High School’s part in American History. Many successful peo- ple have been graduated from SHS, a fact that should be an incentive for all students to try their best to achieve their goals. More than ever, we as a nation should encourage individu- alism. Only in America could Thoreau have freely expressed and people carry out his often quoted philosophical statement, If a man does not keep pace with his companions perhaps it is because he hears a different drummer. One main objective of the 1976 Bulldog is to show each stu- dent that he too can become an asset to his school and country in his own way. If one student is touched by this message, then we have been successful. Doris Hayer Editor 16

18 You've Come a Long Way Baby Picture a stern-faced old lady in a starched black dress with glasses too big for her face. Or, conjure up a pre- maturely balding man in dark suit and tie wearing a frown that would frighten anyone. Neither image fits teachers these days. Watch Mrs. Kohne construct a float or Mrs. McGuire talk to chalk, or even better listen to the teachers at coffee before school. Teachers’ mode of dress has changed drastically, too. From basic black to bright pant suits, wedgies, puka shell necklaces, and leisure suits. It’s true teach- ers. You’ve come a long way, baby!
