l THE WARRIOR LEGEND Two small kingdoms once stood in the land of West Orange. In everything they competed until a bitter rivalry existed, a rivalry no longer to either's advantage. Realizing the foolishness of their quarreling, the kingdoms decided to become allies and consolidate their kingdoms in order to have a single castle with greater strength than was possible for the two castles to have separately. Eagerly plans were made for the construction of the larger fortress. is But the inhabitants realized that while their new home was under construction, they would be virtually defenseless. To protect themselves, they enlisted the aid of the Warrior. He arrived, his brilliant armor flaming orange against the even- ing sky. He carried a sword of glinting steel and a golden scabbard in which to sheath it. He carried a large shield for protection. On the shield, the new kingdom's Coat of Arms was inscribed with flames to symbolize the historic merger of the two kingdoms, a quill and scroll, testifying to the knowledge of the Warrior and the written history of the past, present, and future, the historic date of l976, the eagle, reflecting superiority and freedom, and, on a pedestal, a star .proclaiming highest goals. A Encouraged by the presence of the Warrior, the inhabi- tants of the castles worked until the new castle was finished and the new kingdom was complete. lt is said that wherever the Warrior journeyed, he brought the spirit of victory. When losing seemed inevitable, the Warrior was not defeated. He led the kingdom to top achievements in social, athletic, and academic endeavors. Now the castle stands completed and continues with the Warrior legend. Though the first Warrior has long since vanished, this legend lingers: a spirit, a memory . . . the BIG DRUG SCENE Margaret Campbell came all the way from Australia to attend school at West Orange this yearl Margaret is a for- eign exchange student in the American Field Service QAFSJ program. She came to the U.S. with l83 other Australian students. In Australia, Margaret and her family live on a spacious 2,lOO acre farm. But that's not alll They also own another 2,4w acre farm nearby. For the most part they raise wheat and a few cattle. Margaret said that the farm was not that much work for her because she has an older sister and three older brothers to help out. Margaret commented that attending school here is very similar to attending school in Australia. The biggest differ- ence is that school in Australia is a little harder, and more attention is given to learning the basics. Margaret also said that she hoped to return to the U.S. sometime for a visit. But when asked about living here she exclaimed. Oh, nol I will live in Australia! Do you toke roaches, snort lines, pop black beauties? Got any swats? Can you sell me a joint? Wanna get high? Quick . . . give me the Clear Eyesl What a head rushl What a body rush! Single swats or party bowl? We're bustedlll These phrases and other similar ones are commonly heard around the campus. They are evidence that the use of drugs is still prevalent among high school students. Counselors and psychologists claim that the use of drugs is caused by ad- verse social conditions or serious emotional disturbances. The Yearbook Staff decided to take an informal survey of some West Orange students to find out why they party or use drugs. Here are some replies . . . Cause I like it. lt gets ya high. lt gives ya the munchies so you can get fat. Music sounds better. How do you spell relief? MARIJUANAI Makes ya numb. Makes me horny. Makes me brave. Have nothing better to do. Makes me feel goodl From these replies, drugs appear to have become an ac- cepted part of high school life. The students interviewed seemed to consider using drugs as normal as any other pastime. The big drug scene at West Orange, though not obvious, still exists. And no indication of change is in sight.

Their names have gone down in the record books as being among the greatest of all time. One such man was Ty Cobb, who in l94l achieved a 40 consecutive-game hitting streak. ln l922, it was George Sisler with 4l. Bill Kahlen hit 42 games in I894, and Willie Keeler in I897 set a record of 44 straight games that remained unbro- ken until the invincible Pete Rose came onto the scene to tie that record. Pete Rose, however, had proved his worth as a baseball player long before his amazing hitting streak. He had been Rookie of the Year and Most Valuable Player. He had played in Il All-Star games and four World Series. He had led the league in hitting three times, he hit a streak of 25 games in l967, and on May 5, I978, he made his 3,000th hit. It seems as though all of these numerous smaller victories only foreshad- owed Pete's tremendous accomplishment. Now that Pete is in the limelight, he has been asked many times if it is difficult to cope with the reporters, phone calls, and fan letters that are an inevitable part of being famous. He responds, I like pressure situations. When people are urging me on, I can do things that are impossible sometimes. And Pete Rose, with his 44 consecutive-game hitting streak, has certainly done something close to the impossible. disappeared! Before he could worry about them, though, he was informed by Mr. Krapf that he was wanted immediately in the child development center. SLlRPRlSElll The entire football team along with the foot- ball managers were waiting there for him. They had decorat- ed the room with balloons and crepe paper, and they had even built a throne for him. When Coach Keneipp, for once speechless, took his place on the throne, he was presented his missing roll book and a birthday cake complete with lighted candles. Unfortunately, he also had to sit through another rendition of Happy Birthday!
