Moments and Memories . . . Jeans and T-shirts were the going fashion during a decade in which Nixon resigned, the POW's came home, Billy Carter drank and Donna Summer searched the world for Hot Stuff . Tennis was hot, Skylab was not, and the marijuana issue was real. Miniskirts went long, heels went up then down, and as if Vietnam wasnit enough, a bunch of beepy little robots invaded the planet Earth, shooting laser beams all over movie screens everywhere. This type of war was fictitious, though, and STAR WARS was a box office smash. Sweet Olivia went sleezy in GREASE and John Travolta went funky in SATURDAY NIGHT FEVER. Speaking of funk, the main place to get down on a Saturday night was at one of the every popular discos or night clubs. And speaking of Saturday nights, if your economy car broke down or you were just too tired to go out, you could stay home and be captivated by Steve Martin and SATURDAY NIGHT LIVE. Amenca celebrated her 200th birthday and elected the first southerr president in over 100 years. There were surprises and sorrows. Bo Derek was quite a surprise and the death of Elvis was a world wide sorrow It was a do-your-own-thing-the-heck- with-what-mom-says, decade. Living together was in, marriage was out, anc ERA was still undecided. It was a fast- paced decade that moved to the beat of a new way of feeling. 10X Flashback Memorabilia. Bubble gum chains, novelty t- shirts, and The Rolling Stones were all popular Fascinating people. Nixon cried, Farrah smiled, Nadia leaped - just a few of the most in the seventies. talked about people of the past decade.

Suntanned Sleepyheads - Another Year On August 23rd a bunch of suntanned and still sleepy students sauntered up to those familiar yellow doors of Andrews. Sophomores were ready to fling them open and explore, while Juniors and Seniors were rather reluc- tant to leave summer behind. Returning with the students were memories of the summer: sunburns, t-shirts, and new cars. Once again we had to get used to the daily activities of school life, such as: . . . Listening to the Flying Dutchman-at seven in the moming . . . Wearing long pants Rushing out to lunch and sometimes getting a speeding ticket because of it. At the first of the year, many students were involved in the 51,000,000 Diamond hunt sponsored by McDonald's fprobably hoping to become millionaires, retire from school and live happily everafterl. As it turned out, no one won a million dollars, but we had a million dollars worth of fun trying. We threw our hearts into fifth gear and prepared to live through victory and defeat, heartaches and headaches, determined to survive and make '79-80 a year that would pleasantly shadow our school for years to come. Where's the bus? Keith Pheifer, Marcel Little, and Tenita White calmly await the arrival of the school bus. While visions of hamburgers danced in their heads. Contemplating what to order for lunch, Angela Ratkus and Mike Davis wait their turn at McDonald's. 12fFirst Week of School Begins ,kv f AX 1
