More than just 79 For the first time in many years, the 1979 PURPLE GOLD was a fall delivered book. This new concept was very controversial at first. Every- one was use to receiving their book in May. Hopefully, this book will start a new tradition. More than just 79 was selected to be the theme of the book. Nineteen hundred and seventy-nine meant more than just another year to many SMHS students, especially seniors. Fond memories will be held of 1979 by all. It brought many changes to SMHS. Close circuit TV was installed, the seven period day was adopted and clubs branched out to wider horizons. We, the yearbook staff, sincerely hope this book will help each of us hold on to the memories we cherish so much. We also hope you will like the new tradition which enabled us to give coverage to spring events such as the prom, plays, track, baseball, and graduation. Yes, 1979 was more than just another year!

She's our 'Mom' ' fjk Probably the mo diffic task in organizing the yearbo is selecting the person to whom the book will be dedicated. Sev- eral people are worthy of this award, but we feel that one teacher stands out more than the others. Now in her eleventh year of teaching at SMHS, Ann Bradfield has been admired by hundreds of students in and out of class. Although she teaches American Studies, she also has been directing the class plays since her arrival at SMHS. Many hours of work go into the pro- duction of a play and Mrs. Bradfield has produced two plays a year. We, the students of SMHS, appreciate your dedica- tion ... Thanks, Mom! A k (above) Mrs. Ann Bradfield, in her American Studies I class, (below) And so goes the Civil War,” states Mrs. Bradfield. Dedication 3
