Many made was in the engraved ry and its ed in rest. he 70's were a time of change, self real- ization, and experi- mentation. This change was reflected in the atti- tudes of CDS students. The decade that brought television shows such as M:'fA 'S H was the same decade in which new ac- tivities and interests were being explored, such land- marks as The Cage and new organized sports. The Hockey team first ap- peared in the 70's, and Varsity Pyramid gained interest, although it disap- peared quickly. Many of the teachers today joined Country Day in the 70's. Mr. Guilliams and Mr. Marshall both joined CDS in the 70's, both being History teach- ers. Mr. Habetler took over the band, and Mr. Mehl became director of the Glee Club. The Rus- sian play troupe became the Russian Dancers un- der Mrs. Danett. The peri- od saw two Headmasters: Philip Alderks and Chard P. Smith. CDS in the 70's, as in '87, was a constant reflec- tion of the times. by Bob Mahoney one are the old stuffy study halls with strict disci- ln their place are new, comfortable lounges, better fit for studying. Missing, too, are the di- lapidated class rooms, with desks too small to fit in, broken windows, dirty floors, graffitied walls, and trash everywhere. In- stead, the class rooms are refurnished with new desks, new carpets, freshly painted walls, and clean windows. Disappeared is the un- attractive campus, with its grass too tall, its land- scape uncared for, its fields worn by footsteps. Now ivy covers the path, marigolds blossom color- fully in the fall and spring, and green grass floods the fields. All these changes came about as a result of Head Master, Dr. Johnson's campaign to beautify the campus. When the surround- ings in which students work are respectable, Dr. Johnson commented, the students are further moti- vated to do their best. By Son Nahn pline. - 5
