THE EAGLE Janie Dibbern, Editor Joyce Gall,Assistant Editor Wood River Rural High School Wood River, Nebraska 1 One Day At A Time The Days are changing; and so are we It seems just like yesterday that we were seventh graders, getting lost in the halls which was making us later. Eighth passed us like a day, we were one year ahead memories of last year fading away. Then we were Freshmen, mighty and tough getting initiated just wasn't our stuff! As sophomores we joined Senior High, superior to all the Junior Highs, but still younger than the older guys! Our Junior days were spent thinking of Prom, the night came so quickly— and then it was gone. 1 Here we are .... the first day of our last year We thought it would be no problem. Remember the Seniors of '76? Seemed like they had it so easy .... So we planned to take it ONE DAY AT A TIME. Our classes would all come easy or so we thought. Poli Sci— now that's another story, those tests are just ah poohey' Often there was geting smacked by a favorite teacher, after pushing them a little too far. Or hauling Freshmen out and going snipe hunting, leaving them in the cold and us in hot water. 3 Still living One Day at a Time ........... getting your nose caught in the egg beater. having a manicure in school, looking down on your elders, playing in sudsy water, giggling over magazines, posing for the camera. •o 7th Grade Adds To The W.R.R.

For their money raising project they sold various kinds of fruit. This was the first year that the Jr. High students had their own FHA Chapter. The FFA-FHA Hayrack Ride was enjoyed by all. Instead of hayracks they rode in trucks to a pasture north of town. They had a wiener roast and played tug-o-war and other games. National FHA Week was from February 13 to the 19. FHA members wore red hearts all this week. They offered to help teachers correct papers, make bulletin boards, etc. They also had Sweetheart Sisters and gave them little gifts throughout the week. The FHA Slumber Party was held on April 22. Special guests were 8th graders planning to join FHA next year. They played games from State FHA Convention and worked on decorations for their May Banquet. The rest of the time was spent playing games in the gym, eating, and SLEEPING??? The highlight was attending State FHA Convention. Attending were: Patty Welch, Doreen Dib- bern, Cindy Schmidt, Jolene Harders, Sandy Ripp, Rona Lee Hansen, Pam Isaac, Mrs. Gifford, and Mrs. Kahl. Pam Isaac represented our Junior High FHA Chapter. At State Convention they received their charter membership. While at State Convention, they attended different rap sessions and leadership sessions. The guest speaker at the Convention was Charlie Plumb, a former POW in the Vietnam war. At State Convention our District held a meeting to plan our convention. At this meeting, Doreen Dibbern was elected to be our District officer. Her office is Public Relations Chairman. 1 FRONT—S. Ripp, K. Hargens, S. Faz, M. Sutton, W. Schultz. SECOND—]. Call, C.
