V V The year began as usual. Nothing spectacular. Classes were routine, or close anyway, depending on the teacher. The fall season came and went. Approaching winter, just as the U.S. Presidential election was being made ready, Howeis mock election steadily progressed. In November the Nationalists defeated the Federalists with Mark Collins elected as Governor. A few days later, Jimmy Carter was elected President of the United T States. Coaches worked their teams into shape. The tennis team won the city championship. Defending city champs in wrestling came back this year to finish second. An exciting basketball season united school spirit in a close run with Tech for a city champion- ship. Other teams performed well. After Christmas vacation, bad weather made a few adults E53 rather upset and a lot of kids super happy. Because of snow, and later a gas shortage, schools were closed many days. Some smaller school corporations cut schedules to include only three days in a week. Despite everything school continued. During vacations sched- uled and nonscheduled, HILLTOPPER staffers worked franti- cally to finish pages for deadlines. In the spring Once Upon a Mattressv was performed as the annual musical. Well over a hundred people participated in- cluding many who rarely receive much of the glory. Seniors participated in traditional activities while under- classmen took another step, an erratic step toward their last year. 1. Friends have a chance to get back together the first day of school. 2. Trains are never on schedule. 2 l
