Ready Set, Switch ( hate it” was a first day reaction of a transfer student from John F. Kennedy. But what did he hate? A mixed-up schedule, a bad lock, maybe a bad lunch? Or was it just the thought of summer play-days gone, replaced by homework to play with? Hopefully it wasn’t the new school. New faces appeared everywhere. The first week of school was quite different, even for Seniors. Buses had never been to Suffolk High School before, and suddenly like magic they popped up out of nowhere. The unhappy student from John F. Kennedy wasn’t the only one who had mixed emotions those first days. Many underclassmen felt nervous, excited, confused or scared. But the most popular description was “okay”. Being a senior made no difference, for as Belva Boone sighed, “I felt like Hurricane David had hit.” The reason for the switch was rezoning. To satisfy the HEW all Suffolk City Public Schools were required to have a 60-40 racial balance. This was achieved by new school zones and busing. These zones affected everyone except Seniors who attended the school of their choice. The switch had been thrown and everything was different and new. The first few days of school seemed impossible, but after the chaos settled down, everything was on a smooth course. Buses arrived on time, students smiled, and the switch into a new decade had begun. Ranking second in transfers was Forest Glen High School The majority of new students were rezoned from John F. Kennedy High School. The least number of students came from John Ycatcs High School. INTRODUCTION 5

SUMMER S ummer-time and the livin ' is eaz-z-z-y. It ' s an old song, but students played to its tune. About eighty percent of the student body spent the summer relaxing, as school would again be in session in a mere eighty-nine days. Swimming, vacationing, volunteer work, goofing off and raising cane occupied those luxuriously free days. Those who were industrious chose jobs to fill their time. But by the end of August, the football players were tackling and the cheerleaders were practicing pyramids. The talk turned from surfing to “school,” and the summer drew to a close. In pursuit of another win. Sammy Peachy eyes his opponent in summer competition. SUMMER 7
