XQQXNC T1 IQ Q 476 J' com. As a nation celebrates tradition, William Fleming changes its life style. If the Spirit of '76 seemed to surge throughout the year, measures were taken to make sure it didn't surge when it wasn't supposed to. Readin', 'ritin', and 'rithmetic weren't exactly taught to the tune of a hickory stick, but discipline tightened as the school year got underway. Hall passes became a way of life as teacher monitors checked the flow of traffic during classes. Security guards were employed almost around the clock to protect the campus Security blankets the campus day and night. Mr, Robert Fariss and Security Guard H. G. Moyers patrol the parking lot after school. Big Mac restrictor Mr. Larry Arrington stands guard in the parking lot during lunch to ward off McDonald's goers. 18 Changes from vandalism, but someone still man- aged to stencil Class of '76 on the walls of Coulter Hall not once or twice, but three times. Teachers on guard during lunch made it difficult lbut not impossiblel to head for the Golden Arches at McDonald's for a fourth-period break. Other rules out- lawed wearing hats inside, dressing in shorts or strapless tube tops when warm weather surfaced, and bringing unauthor- ized visitors to class.

Convinced that William Fleming is the finest high school in America, Mr. Cannaday set about to learn the names of all good Colonels and a few bad ones as well. lt was great to be in such a special place for such a special year, said the former assistant principal at James Madi- son Junior High School.
