Buses, Lunch, And After School Students who live within walking distance of the school wake up between 6:30 and 7:15 on school days. In these few and important minutes, they eat breakfast, throw on their clothes, brush their teeth, and dash out the door, leaving it slamming, as they race to the school to arrive be- fore the 7:45 bell rings. Students who ride the bus wake up between 5:30 and 6:15, and run through the process soon to be re- peated by the walkers, except they get a special treat—a bouncing ride in a school bus on a bumpy road Along with the invigorating scenery outside, is an exhilirating sensation inside. For example, in winter the bus win- dows are decorated with artistic draw- ings done by fingers in steam. Typical designs include footprints, smile faces, and four letter words. In spring, squirt guns rampage the bus and enrage the bus driver But whatever the season, the students arrive safely at school. Once there, no matter how they arrived, the students wade through classes till lunch. Then the cafeteria supplies food and fun, which are some- times combined in the art of smashing milk cartons. After lunch, the students must then survive classes till the final bell rings, and a stampede to get to lockers, doors, cars, and buses begins. But the school doors aren't locked till later because of the many after school activities. Sport practices and games, play prac- tice, concerts, and club meetings, are just a few of the many extra-curricular activities going on throughout the school year Two of the most demand- ing out of school functions are the 1000 and 500 mile clubs. Keith Click, a member of the 1000 mile club, and Dave Howard, a member of the 500, independently run through rain, sun, and snow, This loyalty improves their bodies, the school, and the student life. to

From Farrah To Frequencies y law, for a student to gradu- ate. he must attend six hours of school, 180 days a year. In the re- maining eighteen hours of school days and 185 other than school days, the countries trends infect him and the germs of a fad enter the classroom In 1977, Farrah Fawcet Majors rose from a two-bit actress sudsing her way through commercials, to a sex symbol, selling over 5 million posters of her body clad in a flimsy red swimsuit. Part of her popularity developed from “Charlie’s Angels, a sexy detective show starring Farrah and two other attractive females. A lot of her popu- larity evolved from her seductively innocent face and hair-do. Girls from Willard joined thousands of others around the U.S., suffering through the night with their hair wrapped in curlers to attain the fluffy locks. Others reversed the trend and followed the example of Dorothy Hamill. an Olym- pic gold medalist figure skater, by having a short pixy-tvpe haircut. As the hair-style crazes swept across the nation, so did an appetite for Citi- zen Band radios. Private citizens joined truck drivers in utilizing the truly American lingo developed for use over the CB. A typical conversation began, “Breaker 1-9, how 'bout ya Humding- er? You got your ears on?,” which simply is a request to have the line, and an inquest of the availability of Humdinger, a code name, slanglv called a handle. Caught in the fangs of the giant movement, the Willard School Board purchased the popular radios for use on the school buses. Willard was also affected with the revival of an old trend, skateboarding. Sidewalks became temporarily unsafe, when youngsters on skateboards zoomed down the street. Even the high school corridors were not immune from the skateboard invasion. Students bombarded the halls with the wheels of their skateboards as they whisked their way down the halls and whipped around corners. As yet, Willard High School has always recovered from the yearly at- tack of fads, and will surely survive the fallout of this year's explosion. 9
