1 It was a year full of the -ittle moments, little moments that crelpt up and lingered -onger t an anyone thought they would. It was full of moments like the Gong Show, when fudcges showed no mercy to stu ents or teachersg moments like the first pep assembly, when the competition between the Bluecoats, Madhatters, and Yellowjackets was especially stiff. It was full of moments like the homecoming parade, when Colonel William Fleming fcomplete with horsej came back to life fbut didn't make it any further than Crossroads Mallj. The quiet year was full of little moments that stuck around for a lot longer than graduation. PUS LIFE It's h b h ' h h h h the g T F g k 1 land, d B b p f h Gong Sh CpLf

First Impressions Colonels Stage A Big Comeback gg t'll be over before you know it is a familiar line to those who await a shot of novocain or a dose of the Swine Flu vaccine. Some things like that never seemed to get over quickly enough, but other things were finished before they ever really got started. The sum- mer of '76 was a summer like that. For nine months students had counted the days until Iune to signal three months of rest. Sun worshippers crammed into their cars and raced down Route 220 heading for Myrtle Beach, where the sun turned Seashells white and bodies brown. But all too soon, a bulging letter welcoming students back to school broke the lazy days of summer and made one cram for a last minute tan before locker combinations and towel fees took priority. The beginning of school meant finding answers to new questions - Where to spend the mid-morning break? What clubs to join? How to find a friend to eat lunch with in the cafeteria without looking con- spicuous? For those not new to the campus, the campus seemed new anyway. Smith Hall received a face lift as the CE room made way for classroom space. The lunch line opened a little early, 8:00 a.m. to be exact. Eggs and fried apples of the breakfast program preceded their cousins, chili beans and turnip greens, as the cafeteria fare. The Colonel himself came back to pep assemblies to make sure first impressions were good ones. The Blue Coats and Madhatters con- vinced him that things at Fleming were just fine, thank you. Sea 'n ski daredevil Kathryn Conner tests her skills against the ripply waters of Smith Mountain Lake. Sunny skies and record highs lure sopho- mores Lydia Lilly and Yvonne Seaman outside during 4B lunch. 14 Summer!Back To School .nr k +4 , swag. N ks .few .f QA, :sv-.ss , .sw . . W .
