Teachers are everywhere They seem to be everywhere. They're inside the classrooms. They stand in the halls. And if you care to look in the office, you might find a few more. Who are they? They are the teachers; the very same teachers who have had to put in countless hours of personal toil to earn the honor of being chosen as an effi- cient instructor. They are the ones who sponsor, and sometimes coordinate, student activities. They give their time, their patience, their knowl- edge, their understanding, and their encour- agement to the students. With enough of each, the (top left) Mrs. Lewis and Miss Holm work in various spirit week activities, (top right) Sponsor, Mr. Howard and Bruce Speidel at one of the student council meetings held to discuss Home- coming.

Friday the 13th brings rain It was a foggy, Friday morn- ing, October 13, 1978. Rain was falling constantly. Blue Devil Homecoming had arrived. Everyone was anxious for the festivities to get under way. Se- niors Jeff Blauser, Steve Nichols, Bob Yetman, and Tim Hart were busily checking and rechecking to make sure the senior float was ready for the big day. Many students were com- plaining about the rain, believing that, because of the rain, the Homecoming parade would be cancelled. But nevertheless, the Freshman towed their float from the telephone company ware- house to the high school. The Sophomores also had ty haul their float from the ware- house since they had moved it there after completing it at Har- mony Acres. The Juniors kept their float at the bus garage and later relocated it in Mr. Kiser's shop area. . - L tu cheerleaders raise the spirit evert higher during the Homecoming thuse.
