Majorettes look different without their costumes while practicing on a hot summer day. Tuba player, Sam Iapuncha, takes a nap after a hard practice. Mr. Ron Saczalski yells directions at the football players as they prac- tice blocking. The janitors, although taken for granted, did a tremen- dous job keeping the school's maintence up throughout the summer months. They put many hours into the cleaning of rooms, lockers and desks. The floors were waxed with the knowledge that after the first week of school they would be scuffed and dull once again, With- out the concern of these people our school would not have looked as nice as it did. The counselor's office was also a busy place with graduates checking to see if their final transcripts were sent to the correct college. After the confusion of final transcripts wore off, scheduling began. One found frus- trated juniors changing and rechanging their tenative schedules after the seniors closed out the classes which they needed for graduation. Personal pride and dedication was shown by Mr. Emil Perunko in the making of a new totem pole to place in front of the Varsity House. However, soon after it was placed in the ground, it was chopped down. This sort of vandalism shows the immaturity of some and their lack of respect for their school which is becoming more and more evident here. The changing attitudes of the student body, the con- cern of faculty members and the sometimes unnoticed but neccessary work of the staff are the essential factors that are a TURNING POINT which is leading Reserve into the 1980's.

o confusion with Peckyno Where were you the morning of November 16 when the lights went out? Are you cold? I'm freezing! These were normal questions heard everyday by the faculty and student body. p Upon arriving at school on November 16, one expect- ed it to be another normal day. At 7:40 a.m. the electric- ity went out and a blackout had hit Reserve. The teachers quickly ran out into the halls and saw that 'everyone stayed under control. The students were told to go to the outside rooms where there was a maximum of light from the windows. When one looked down the hall, lighters were seen everywhere because students were unable to open their lockers. To the dismay of the students, the electricity was restored about 8:15 a.m. and everyone had to return to class. This commotion was due to a tele- phone pole being hit near Austin Village Plaza. - f-- . ..k. N N K f V s K sw- i .N . ,k. , if Q One of the biggest changes to hit Reserve was the loss of our principal, Mr. Nick Pitinii, who was promoted to Personnel Director. Fortunately, Mr, Iohn Peckyno was aasigned to take his place. Mr. Peckyno proved to be as good a principal as Mr. Pitinii. Changes made by Mr. Peckyno took some time to get used to, but we found that they were not as bad as we thought them to be. One of the changes was that students must report to study hall. If not they were to be put in In-School Suspension. Mr. Peckyno's concern with better discipline was to be commended. The unknowing from day to day about whether or not the electricity would go off and changes made by our new principal, Mr. Peckyno filled the year with surpris- ing and interesting TURNING POINTS.

There was much confusion as students returned to their classrooms after the Blackout. it l t I s -5 esp' ee. 'S it Opening f 9
