Registration classes. Lunch lines backed up to the teachers’ lounge. The usual complaints of “I signed up for that and got this” and ‘‘When are we gonna get lockers?” This first week was hectic to say the least. Mr. David Surrey. Mr. John Boyer and Mrs. Doris Young worked to switch class and lunch periods until finally everyone in every class had some place to sit and the old dual lunch gave was to the new three lunck system with A-lunch, B-lunch and C-lunch squeezed in between. Business as usual for classes picked up immediately. Juniors started magazine sales, with a $4500 sales goal, to raise money for the prom. Sophomores ordered class rings and seniors had the troublesome business of pictures, pictures, pictures. The perennial financial problems became even worse with inflation and the rising cost of gold.

I believe in pep assemblies!” Coach Rockie Natoli yelled to a cheering crowd at the first pep assembly. Eager to rekindle the excitement from last year, students jumped wholeheartedly into the rallies and revived last year’s surprise Rowdy Section. Natoli, one of the nine new teachers in the high school, shook up the football record with our first back-to-back home wins in ten years and our first Homecoming victory since 1973. “Just one thing—get fired up!” Mrs. Craumer told the pep club. Everyone got into the act. Cheerleaders brought cakes for coaches and cookies for players. For one cheering contest, representatives from each class had to sit on blocks of ice. Coach Smith praised the Rowdy Section as Waverly’s “sixth man.” □ Right: Junior Joe Spinning Opposite: Varsity starter Rick Teeters; senior Lori Wothen with parents on football Parents’ Night; cross country runners; Carol Nickell.
