nl February The shortest month of the year was somewhat short on action, too. Sev- eral students petitioned Tri-Met for a bus shelter in front of school. Led by Marc Miller they managed to achieve their goal by summer vacation. Drama students depart- ed from the usual pattern of a spring musical and scheduled it during Feb- mary this year. The choice, HA Funny Thing Happened On The Way To The Forum, was a musical comedy that pro- vided audiences with a change-of-pace produc- tion. The Computer Club sponsored a dance with the help of their compu- ter M couples were to matched up much in the manner of the computer dating services that were popular several years ago. Response, unfortunately, was less than overwhelm- ing. In national happenings, John Travolta and uSatur- day Night Feverl' continu- ued to influence behavior and THS students pushed for more disco-type dan- ces and visited Earth- quake Ethel's on Satur- day afternoons to enter contests and meet new friends. The Sex Pistols and punk rock had not found their way into the hearts of most THS stu- dents, but nationwide, the punk movement was growing more popular in reaction to the disco craze.

Xb: t 5 nga anuary The post-Christmas 'Gblahs began to hit a lot of students, especially seniors, a number of whom graduated at semesteris end in late Jan- uary. Though there was no ceremony, those who chose early graduation were through with school, some working, some starting college a half-year early. Most returned to graduate officially with classmates in June. January noted two losses in leadership e one at the student level and one at the admin- istrative level. Pat Quinn was disqualified from office and Kirk Johnson took over, with Dick Brummett named new vice-president replacing Johnson. Vice-principal Jim Ylvisaker left his curriculum post at THS to accept a job with Multnomah County IED, leaving a gap in the administration that was covered by two or three administrators until the post was filled. Vandalism closed the THS student store, the HTiger's Lair, during January. Vandals broke into the school and the store, pouring ink over counters and textbooks and dumping candy all over the floor. The student lounge was also in trouble at this time due to student abuse during the regular school day. After threats and increased patrols, as well as a no- ticeable improvement in student attitude, the lounge was reopened. Poor crowds at sports events frustrated ath- letes and coaches as winter sports struggled to duplicate the strong fall showing. Though girls basketball showed flashes and two wrestlers qualified for state, it was left for the swimmers to splash to the best record. 6X INTRODUCTION ,yas if 645532 5+-K ' z.-1-ggggu if tt. -E 3 ca' X r i
