Frosh reveal I 'H Community The juniors floated Noah's Ark to the theme juniors together through all kinds of weather. juniors in ani- mal costumes paraded two-by-two around the ark, which rocked with the aid of two girls hiding in the hull. The class won the competition for the third year in a row. jimmy Noah Fogg fclass vice-pres- identj oversaw construction, and a troop of juniors obeyed his will. The Seniors chose the fifties as their era and Moments to Remember - Class of '79 as their theme. In pig- tails, bobby-sox, leather jackets, and with slick-backed hair, they depicted the memorable caricatures of the times. Working on the float was a lot of fun, We really enjoyed doing it. But we were disappointed when we didn't win, Sue Doucette and Wendy God- frey agreed. For the first time, the judges tied their decision and gave one hundred twenty-eight points to both the Senior and junior entries. A last minute, final decision broke the tie and the juniors were declared the winners. 14 HOMECOMING fAbovej Matt Damon t53j, Nick Stogliano gasp, and Todd Lawrence hold O'Neill back during the first quarter of the Homecoming game.

--aug fAbovej Bus 147 stops on Rt. 211 near the former Montgomery high school. Before centralization students could walk to and from school. 16 TRANSPORTATION fLeftj On sunny mornings the wait at the bus stop can be a pleasant experience, but rainy times find the students huddling under trees for a bit of protection from the dampness. oise, I Bu r'd p t nlolfef be Z :stile raves 0 IIIIISIC, awakening crowds s the sun cracked the morning sky, the VC student discovered himself in his bathroom mirror. That self-same student emerged an hour later, scrubbed and dressed to trek to the bus stop. The crisp air banished the thought of sleep. Getting up early to get the bus is really the pits. When I get dressed in the morning, I'm still asleep. I don't even know what I have on, said Ed- die McKelvey. The bus rumbled down the street. It loomed before the student. The doors whooshed open. I wait about ten minutes for the bus in the morning. It is pretty crowded already and then we pick up even more kids, grumbled Billy Kline. Tripping up the steps, the student spied crowded seats, narrow aisles, and heard the piercing noise decibles. The bus is super-crowded. Even with three in just about every seat, there are still kids standing from one end of the bus to the other, com- plained Billy Mirola. Positioning himself on the edge of a seat, the student prepared to engage in battle. The bus I ride is really unique. On the way home, I ride the Middle School bus. Those kids are different. They hide under some of the seats. Others fight over the back seats, said Brenda Swithers. Spitballs, gum, and lunches whizzed past his ears. L'Once, during a fire drill on the bus, I didn't duck my head. I hit my head on the top of the emergency exit door, grimaced Sandy Wheeler. Music blared: from Donny Osmond to Ted Nugent. If it werenit for the music on the bus, I would probably fall back to sleep, said Eddie McKelvey. I like the music on the bus. It is pretty decent, added Billy Kline. The music is so loud, you have to scream to talk to the person next to you, Bill Brooks griped. Voice hoarse from screaming, eyes red from smoke, slightly deaf from the noise level, and bearing the scars of battle, the student arrived at school. fRightj A throw-back to the 1950's, the souped- up car is reminiscent of Grease.
