Signs Of Student Life Students wait patiently for the doors to open and for school to start. Camille Suess, Nancy Sanders, and Howard Wohlfarth pre- pare a French assignment. Aside from the everyday hustle and bustle of changing classes, rushing to lockers, cramming for tests, and antici- pating the end of the day, the 1969-70 school year vibrated with unity, spirit, disappointment, and improvement. With the coming of a new faculty, many changes took place. Students assumed a new responsibility of living up to expectations of the new administration. Changes were pre- velant not only inside the classroom, but outside also. The hours, the lunch process, and the general ruling were changed. In summary, the year was a sign of change, yet, as it came to a close, students looked back on it as a truly unique year. 6 Kerry Loeb relaxes during study hall.

Initiation: A Sign Of Belonging In late October the seniors welcomed the 1969-70 freshman class with the traditional initiation. This year saw a more modified version of initiation than ever. It began in the morning with the freshmen doing small tasks for the seniors, such as carrying their books and praising the great class of '70. A last hour assembly completed the day with the freshmen divided into small groups, singing and danc- ing for the entire student body. The Seniors judged their acts and, if it did not meet with their approval, the freshmen were assigned to reappear with another act or wash the school bus. Afterwards, the freshmen enjoyed cleaning up the mess. Gerald Houser and Joey Hargreaves prove to be very good partners. 7 John Peters and Cindy Tully perform for the seniors.
