Backstage Cuts In june of 1978, the fed-up voters went to the polls and passed Proposition 13, cutting property taxes drastically. With 54.4 million of income gone, the FUHSD Board of Trustees cut over 70 employees, elimi- nated nearly all bus trans- portation, switched driver train- ing to a private firm, and dropped several sports teams. At SHS, the effect was huge. Classified employees nearly be- came extinct, as many secretar- ies and clerks were laid off. Program administrators, a new 77-78 idea, were cut and sent back to the schools. Custodians became few and far between, yet SHS kept the cleanest cam- pus in the district. With bus service for hun- dreds of students cut, alternate means had to be found. County Transit, carpooling, and ride- hitching were the favorite, be- sides just plain 2-to-3-mile walking in the cold.

Opening Night Somewhere over the Rainbow, played by the Sunnyvale Marching Band, set the mood for seven princesses, following the colorful floats decorated by the Spirit Girls. After they rode past, waving to friends, last year's Queen, Lisa Kohn, escorted by Drum Major, Mike Zapanta, was present to give up her traditional cape and tiara. The night was a dream-come-true for some of the princesses. There were disappointments and joyful yells from the stands when jeanette Padilla was an- nounced as the new Queen. Despite the hectic diffi- culties in the planning of Homecoming, it came out all right on the night it counted. .-ff' 19
