“In the Eyes of Youth” As the Sagittarius Staff began organizing the 1983 Yearbook, the first obstacle was creating a yearbook theme that ex- pressed the atmosphere of T.C.H.S. After a few tries, we were fortunate to have a good idea. After slight changes, the theme was to be, “In The Eyes of Youth . It was chosen because we felt that this annual should reflect the true feelings and ideas as the students see them. As editor, for the first time I took the opportunity to sit back and observe the stu- dents of T.C.H.S. Never had I realized how important each person was to the atmosphere of the school. Each student had his own role to play in the classroom, and it was imperative that he do so. Whether it was the person who demonstrated how to make pizza in Speech class, the 1st chair flutist, or the student who volunteered time to tutor oth- ers, it was all part of T.C.H.S. life. On the other hand, think how boring class would be if the class clown hadn't thrown that paper wad across the room. Above right: The Channelton Locks is a familiar spot tor students who like to get away trom it all. Robin McFall and Don Swaney take time off from the rest of the world. It may take as much as 60 minutes for all the students and faculty to arrive in the morning, but it takes only 15 minutes for the parking lots to clear after school. Right: 3:20 ends the day, but for some it begins a work day. Above: Greg Stowe. Dave Moman, and Dan Everly earn money by stocking shelves and sacking groceries. 2 Opening

Lights Out Get up, eat breakfast, go to school, catch up on local gos- sip and go to class. This routine was seldom deviated from; however, Wednesday, October 20th was different, stu- dents and faculty alike arrived at school only to find that there was no electricity. Many of the rooms were without windows, so to simplify matters, the entire student body went into the gym to wait. At 10:30 anyone having class in a room with windows returned to it. What did 700 kids do for nearly three hours? They chanted things like, “We want out, and they made hundreds of paper airplanes. Opinions concerning sitting in the gym varied. The comments includ- ed, I felt like a prisoner,” and I thought it was great! I wish we could do it more often.” Six minutes between classes allow stu- dents ample time to converse at their lockers and still make it to class on time. An unexpected but welcome break from school was taken on account of a 2'fi hour black-out. The student body spent the time socializing.
