. . for the class of '75, it was the last time. “As every thread of gold is valuable, so is every moment of time. —J. Mason And so it was for the halls full of Sunset students, some of whose hours lasted for moments, others whose moments lasted for hours in 1974-75. Time was of the essence. Heavy eyelids and stifled yawns attested to the fact that the school day began ten minutes earlier, with bus drivers beginning high school pickups at 7 a.m. The usually quick change from summer to fall was non-existent last September as the Apollos encountered an Indian summer that lingered on until the magical sunny spell was broken by the first rain on October 20. With the genesis of the new re- admittance form, characterized by its myraid of carbons, more time was needed by teachers, counselors and health-room staff to process the newly-designed forms. Forged notes were a thing of the past. Time seemed to go backward as knee-length skirts and 1940's style seemed to dominate the Sunset fashion scene. The Scroll staff seemed never to have enough time and as if by miracle they ground out an eight-page paper every two or three weeks. New classes in the English department featured several nine week offerings. Students were shuffled in and out so fast, they didn't even have time to learn the teachers' names. Some students, in a frantic effort to conserve and shorten time, jammed the arena scheduling lines to pack all requirements into the morning so as to take advantage of early release. Others really beat the clock with several seniors graduating at mid- year. Even some juniors opted for graduation at the end of the year. The fifteen-minute morning break proposal sounded fantastic on paper but spent most of its time in review commitee or in someone's think file. The Apollo sports scene was in for a refreshing change as White-Knight- on-a-Purple-Charger Don Matthews arrived in the nick of time to help Sunset's floundering football program, while cool John Wyttenberg once again put together a solid basketball team. Most everybody, especially the mad-hatter Rowdies, found time to support the team. In fact, it was as if students found they had too much or not enough time. There was little time for after- school activities because many students had jobs and were punching time clocks by 2:20 p.m. Christmas vacation lasted a full two weeks this year, allowing students extra time to frolic in the Northwest's winter wonderland. A hectic, fast pace dominated the 1974-75 Sunset student's life and it ended as quickly as it had begun. And for the class of '75. it was the last time. Linda Franciscone
