Drum Major New Feature
Fans attending the State College ,tball games noted a new feature the field during the half-time ivities-Brent Frank, a senior and i new drum major. Brent's respori.sibilities included ding the band on the field during ,-game and half-time shows and ,ducting the band while marching d while in the stands. Brent, the st drum major ever to perform th the band said, "My training .rted last fall when Mr. Dreibelbis, e of our directors, began to take ps to incorporate a drum major o the half-llme program." Mr. eibelbis chose the six foot two inch ank because of his height and his owledge of music. The need for a om major at State High had been ;ubject of controversy dating back the band competition at Munich, ,rmany in 1972. The addition of a urn major then, some said, might ve helped the final standings of ate.
Homecoming?
Girls Premier The first girl's cross country team ever at State High closed their premier season boasting a 5-0 interscholastic record and two successful state competitors; Sally White and Sue Haythornthwaite, who placed ninth and seventh respectively in the state meet. All participants were underclassmen, which created an excellent foundation for a bigger and better team next year. According to Coach Ann Infield, "There was a lack of good competition, and a great deal of difficulty scheduling meets." They competed against Jersey Shore three times. Mrs. Infield commented that despite the setback of only five meets, the girls were "truly dedicated and worked up to their potential."
Lacking the traditional pomp and circumstance associated with the election of a Homecoming Court at other schools, the merits of choosing a queen for each of the fall sports had been questioned and even called chauvinistic at State High. But this year Women's Lib produced a new twist in the annual ritual-Sports Kings. Mark Martsolf and Joe Zuravleff became the first Kings to be chosen by the girls tennis and golf teams, respectively. Both boys and girls cross country teams, and the girls hockey teams chose not to participate. The Kings escorted the Football Queen, Casey Cummings, and the Soccer Queen, Jane Haythornthwaite. At the mixer held after the Indiana football game, Jane and Joe were crowned All-Fall Sports Queen and King.

Coach Horner Receives Trophy
New Drama Instead of the traditional Fall Tournament of One-Act Plays between seniors, juniors, and sophomores, a full-length play was performed by Thespians of all three grades, directed by Mr. Ed Kernish and his assistant director, Carol Barash. The play chosen was Dylan Thomas' "Under Milkwood", the story of the waking and sleeping dreams of the inhabitants of a small Welsh seacoast town. "Under Milkwood", a sophisticated, lyrical poemplay that was originally performed as Reader's Theatre, was presented partly as Reader's Theatre, and partly as an acted play with pantomime and a suggestion of costumes and makeup. It was a successful experiment in a new and difficult dramatic form for State High' s Thespians.
The 1974-75 Cross Country team presented Coach Jackson Horner with a trophy in recognition of his lOOth consecutive dual-meet win. Over the last nine seasons, Coach Horner's teams have not dropped a single dual meet, building up to their recordbreaking achievement. The one-hundredth meet victory came against Altoona, with a score of State High 19, Altoona 38. At the end of the season, the mark was frozen at 102, wins next season it will probably climb even higher. Coach Horner, the Cross Country Coach since the mid-so's, is understandably proud of the combinecl achievement reached by his nine teams, and will undoubtedly treasur'e the trophy given him by last year's team in behalf of all nine winning teams.
Displaying his trophy is Coach Horner along with Assistant Coach Mr. Gentry, and 1974-75 senior team member, Dave Mengle. Mr. Gentry was previously a member of one of Mr. Horner' s winning teams.
Bi-Lingual Journalism Pawprint editor Mike Flynn initiated a new format for the school newspaper this year. He published 25 weekly papers in addition to four special four page editions; one each at Christmas, Easter, and in May and September. Because of the cost of printing, the weeklies were on 8 1/2" x 11" sheets of bond paper. Each weekly contained a calender of events, a sports round-up, and several short news articles. Longer features and in-depth sports reports were included in the specials. Mike's goal was to "build our school newspaper back into a newspaper, rather than the irregular magazine that it had become.''
LA VOZ HISPANICA, a Spanish literary magazine, began publication in 1974 with a Halloween issue. Students in Mrs. MacDonald's fourth year classes and two of Mrs. Frick's fifth year classes contributed articles and stories related to superstition, horror, a])d bizarre happenings in their personal lives. The magazine was distributed to third, fourth, and fifth year students of Spanish.

All Hallow's Eve worked its eerie effects in broad daylight at State High. On October 30, the 'official' Halloween, there was a teacher inservice day, and classes ended at 12:30. Shortly afterward, yearbook photographer Topher Stump captured on film the strange, supernatural changes that occured on that extraordinary day.
Staff Paints the City Ten members of the Little Lion yearbook staff traveled to New York City for the annual Yearbook Conference at Columbia University with Mrs. Marv York, Yearbook Adviser. The various workshops, mini-courses, and topic sessions were informative and stimulating. The rest of the time spent in the big city was more fun than a barrel of principals. Among the many episodes crammed into the three-day adventure were two plays, a movie, a trip to the Metropolitan Museum, rides on the subway, shopping trips, seeing the World Trade Center from the Empire State Building, and dinners at the Russian Tea Room, Marna Leone's, and the Waldorf-Astoria Hotel's Grand Ballroom. Another high point of the trip was meeting Dr. John Garraty of Columbia University, author of an A.P. History text, The American Nation,.

Second Annual Senior Party Seniors celebrated the ending of the football season with a party reminiscent of one held last year. Because the day-long party took place on November 11, it did not conflict with any classes on a Monday that was an official school holiday. Several seniors spent all Sunday night at the party site, leaving early the next morning for the K-Mart Shopping Center parking lot to direct others to the secret location of the kegs and campfire. Open to the entire school, this unique annual event attracted many people and created all sorts of memorable occurances.
It was the organizational genius of Joe Gable that made the senior party possible.
Parents Attend School at Night Back-to-School Night, a popular area school district tradition, 'owed its success in part to the concerned students who gave their evening to find lost parents. School librarian, Mrs. Dorothy Simons, organized the guides. Back-to School Night was a success, with teachers, parents, administrators, and students having a great time. The parents of all State College High School students were invited to follow their child's schedule and meet his teachers. The usual procedure is for concerned teachers and adninistrators to tell concerned parents about the progress of their children, who then become very concerned.
Waiting to begin their rounds were: Darlene Long, Greg Gnatt, and Jayshree Shalam. They were listening to Mrs.
Simons tell the story behind the Official Library Coffeepot, but that's another story.

The Future Farmers of America elected three new officers in September and initiated 26 "Greenhands". Carl Gates was elected Vice-President; John Bathgate was_ elected Treasurer; and Dan Walker was voted Chaplin. The Greenhand is the first category of membership in FFA, a nationwide club for students enrolled in high school agriculture classes. The annual ritual of initiation involved an informal gathering where numerous tricks and jokes were played on the Greenhands.
"Why do people think that the athletic program should be de-emphasized at our school? I feel that athletics gives the school a name, one that we, the students, can be proud of. Our athletes practice daily and try to give a one hundred per ceri.t effort. They could go home after school and just lie around, but they want to show people that they're proud of their school. Sports, in general, provides money for the school to spend on academic programs. It also is an important social event for students and townspeople. Sports helps to build character, and it teaches the differences between winning and losing. A well-known maxim was derived from sports: "It's not whether you win or lose, it's how you play the game." -Dave Doll
There was also a formal ceremony where each new member received a bronze FF A emblem pin. At the home football games in the fall, FF A members sold cider that they pressed themselves. The money which was raised helped to send entries to livestock expositions and other competitions throughout the year.

"I feel that there is more emphasis on athletic honor than intellectual honor at State High. Sports receives far more publicity than the arts. For example, more articles appear in local papers about athletic honors in one week than appear about intellectual honors in one month! This emphasis does not stop on local level, as there is nation-wide publicity of athletics; yet, we seldom hear of an academic event outside our own area. Nor does this glorification of sports end with the high school and college crowd. In fact, there is even more publicity of professional athletics than of scholastic athletics. This is a time when one begins to hear less about intellectual honors. This is quite disconcerting to art" academicallyoriented student. It leads one to
Co-Educational Health Classes Set Precedent In the past years Health classes were divided into two separate sections, male and female .. This division created speculation. Discussion of topics like dating and pre-marital sex would invariably raise questions like "Well, what do the boys (or the girls as the case may be) think about it?" There was no exchange of ideas between boys and girls in a subject involving both. This year for the first time, co-educational Health classes were instituted. The result was overwhelmingly
positive. Mrs. Fry stated, "Though somewhat more difficult for teachers, it is much better for students. It gives male students a female point of view on topics, such as pregnancy, that a male teacher could not possibly give." How did students react? They main-
tained a healthy disinterest as in most classes, and found nothing strange about co-ed classes. However, Mrs. Fry noted, "Boys were much less boisterous and made fewer comments than when they had classes by themselves."
Drivotrainer Introduced When a teacher training program at the Penn State University failed to materialize, the State Department of Education was left with an unused driving simulator unit. Since State College had the largest school district in the area, the 60-foot trailer unit was given to State High's Driver Education Department. In the Drivotrainer, the driving e?(perience was simulated by watching a film, and students performed tll.e necessary driving manuevers at each of twelve stations. Each station had a steering wheel, brakes and all the attachments that would make it identical to a car. "The advantage _is that we can sim-
ulate actual driving conditions at any time," said Mr. Adams. "The student can become better equipped to handle dangerous conditions without having to experience them in a dangerous way."
Cheer leading Changes They were the same bouncy, smiling, school-spirited cheerleaders, but this year there was something different. At try-outs the cheerleading hopefuls had been offered a choice, which for some meant more freedom, and for others an opportunity to do as much cheering as possible. A much larger squad was selected than ever before with the girls choosing from three options: to cheer for either the fall sports season or for the winter sports season, or to cheer for both seasons. Before, a fewer number of girls had cheered for both seasons, placing cheerleading above all other extra-curricular activities. This year, the girls still put cheerleading first, but after one season they could be free to part~cipate in different activities, including clubs, and intramural and interscholastic sports. As one cheerleader put it, "The change was brought about so that more girls could get involved, and so we could cheer for one season and go out for a sport for another." -~

Student freedom and responsibility was an issue at State High in the '74-'75 school year, with students always seeming to want more freedom than the administration was willing to give them. The Alternative Program, the Modified School Day, and Work Experience programs were created specifically to allow students to have more flexibility and independence. These programs demanded

In the Faculty Forum feature of that same issue, Mr. Strause spoke out on the responsibility that must accompany student rights. Lack of this sense of responsibility was a major point in the administration's argument against open campus and similar goals of the student body. Although discipline was not a major
Note: The following PawPrint articles are two accounts of the reproachable conduct of students in isolated, uncommon incidents that shared an uncanny though entirely coincidental similarity. STATE HIGH, Nov. 1, 1974 (PP)Remember the snack bar? the pop machines? the ping pong tables? Recently, there have been several fires set in the girl's washrooms around the school. The first was set on Oct. 2, the second on October B, and the third on October 10. Now, there has been a renewal of this vandalism; a fourth fire was set on October 28. At least in this latest incident, it was extinguished by students. But this malicious vandalism must stop or the student body will almost certainly have its bathroom privileges revoked. One envisions a possible future where every morning homeroom teachers announce: "Anyone who has to use the lavatory line up here and folio";, me. There will be no talking Wake up those of you who find such activities as arson ... amusing.

problem at State High, the school was singed by the students' smouldering sense of mischief that occasionally flared up in the idleness of a study hall. These occurrences were unfortunate because the administration contended that any infraction of existing rules indicated a lack of responsibility rather than a readiness for more privileges.
STATE HIGH, Jan. 31, 1975 (PP)Students lounging in the lobby Tuesday, at the beginning of the period, were witnesses to an extraordinary display of stupidity and bravery. The stupidity came from some pyro, probably a recent patron of the Towering Inferno who set off a string of firecrackers in a paper snowman sitting innocently by the ticket booth nearest the auditorium. The fuse of the said firecrackers was of the long-burning variety, for obvious reasons, and evidently set the decoration aflame. The whole school might have been a cinder in a short while if it hadn't been for a quick-thinking teacher on guard duty in the lobby. This valiant individual first grabbed a nearby coat and attempted to smother the flames, then dragged the ghastly cremation outside where it rolled over and died with a final "BANG!"

founded a contingency fund to be used by school clubs and organizations that run into financial difficulties.

tiously to fix the complex and weak mechanism of the national economy. Faced with inflation, marked by record high prices of such staples as sugar and beef; recession, with a falling Stock Market, growing unemployment and despairing manufacturers stuck with unsold goods, and a public unwilling to give up its high standard of living, Gerald Ford introduced his WIN campaign. Within a few weeks it became obvious that the country wasn't willing to cooperate with a voluntary, anti-inflation program, so the government began to work on a more mandatory action program for the nation. Worsening economic troubles were complicated by disagreement between the President and Congress over regulating the price and availability of foreign oil within the U.S .. President Ford supported raising the tariff on imported oil, thereby lessening our dependence on the OPEC nations and encouraging the development of alternative energy sources. The legislature maintained that the President's plan would not be equitable to the American people, and favored gasoline rationing. While the U.S. struggled with its own problems, it overlooked those of other areas of the world. Famine caused by flooding, drought and the energy crisis became an actuality in India, parts of Africa, and Central America. This hunger crisis brought about the U.N. World Food Conference in Rome on November 11-15. There it was established that the technology needed to feed the starving nations did exist, but they could be saved only at the cost of sacrificing the standard of living of the affluent ones. Such a President Ford's WIN campaign, combined with the economic necessity of thrift, encouraged people to develop "energy consciousness". The school grappled with the problem of limited resources and high fuel costs throughout the year. Modification of the bus schedules was discussed and the thermostats of the buildin~ were carefully maintained

Newspaper headlines became pessimistic pres agers of the future. The local papers featured stories decrying the rising rate of unemployment and delineating and criticizing Ford's latest economic-energy program that included the possibility of full-scale tax rebates with increasing frequency in 1975. Even as seniors completed their last months of preparation before entering the adult world on their own, society was experiencing major economic upheavals, creating significant social changes that would demand a re-evaluation and re-adjustment of priorities on the part of all Americans.

Student Forum "Wlation is a major problem facing today"s society. The working man wakes each morning to look forward to nothing but higher prices. As prices rise, a man has to settle for less and less. President Ford proposed several measures to curb inflation in the U.S., but at the wrong time.

In others parts of the world people have far worse problems than those of the average U.S. citizen.

The performance nights were set for March 13,14, and 15, leaving only six veeks for practice. Almost every week-day rehearsals and construction meetings vere held after school and also on Saturdays. For the two weeks preceding the :how, the crew worked after school until at least 9:30, with only a short break for linnet. Overall, the cast was not nervous before the show, but as crewhead, Diana ~oderaro observed, "The play is a very emotional event. You become very close to the other people working with the show." Getting emotionally psyched for the play was part of each actor's preparation before going onstage. "There is a period before the play where nothing matters but what you will be doing onstage," explained Skip Wright. The emotion mounted and the play improved with every performance. "On the first night we were afraid to try things. But on the second and third nights it was easier to control our actions; and therefore, they were more refined," said Leading Lady Becky Boyer. "The third night we really had the audience with us," added Skip. When the play closed, the emotions of the preceding six weeks rose to a climax. "We literally cried for twenty minutes backstage," said one actor. Then the stage crew began to strike the set, and everyone headed for the cast and crew party at Kevin Stangl's house.

Regional Musicians State High had a fantastic year in the regional music competitions. From orchestra, Dan Kazez (cello), Doug Boyle (viola), Greg Niemann (violin II), Heather Welliver (violin I), Tina Murphey (violin I), Scott T. Rossi (tuba), and Herbert Diamant (basson I) qualified at the District competition to attend Regional Orchestra held at Beaver Falls in March.

Girl's Track and field Girl's Track and Field coaches, Ann Infield, Mary Bates, and Debbie Hjeltness, expected stiffer competition in 1975 than had been encountered in any previous season. The new meets on the schedule included the Carlise Invitational, the Lower Dauphin Relays, and possibly competition with Dubois, Central, Grier, Altoona, and Huntingdon High Schools. Hurdles, javelin, and middle distance. would probably be the strong events this year according to Coach Infield. But each event boasted at least one returning letterman, making a total of fifteen past letter winners on the '75 team. Everyone worked hard at the after school practices, and many also worked out on weekends at Beaver Stadium in anticipation of the District and State competitions which the team entered for the second time ever in 1975.

Girl's Softball On the second Monday in March, everything was set for the first ~ractice to start off the 1975 Girl's Joftball season. There were snowflakes blowing in the freezing winds ,utside. Small streams of mud had
replaced the base paths. Still, the season had not officially begun until Varsity Coach Judy Anderson's famous cry of "ACCURACY, LADIES!" was heard echoing from all corners of Community Field.

Central Counties Champs Expect Success Although the tennis team went into the spring season without several of last year's stars, the ·returning players, along with several new prospects, were expected to continue the ninety-eight match winning tradition. Seniors Chris Hoover (13-2 last year), Mark Martsolf (13-2), and junior Nate Levine (16-0) combined with newcomers Randy Whiteside and Marco Taube were likely candidates for the top five positions. John Gorlow, also a sophomore, and John Whiteside, a freshman, could be counted on to provide depth as well as to keep the top five on their toes. Coached by Mike Shapiro, the netters were the reigning Central Counties Champions, and had high hopes, beginning with their first match on April 1st, to make theirs the longest winning streak in the school.

HS Scholastic Quiz T earn Enters Finals In its third year of competition, The State High Scholastic Quiz team was eminently successful. The team competed with thirty-one other high schools in several elimination rounds. Each win earned a scholarship grant for State High from the University of Pittsburgh at Johnstown. The scholarship credits were awarded to a deserving State High student who enrolled at the University of Pittsburgh at Johnstown, which, along with WJAC-TV produced and funded the Scholastic Quiz Championship. The State High team, coached by a social studies teacher, Mrs. Dorothy Smith, was sponsored and completely subsidized by the State College Area Education Associat_ion. The six students, chosen from about twenty-five that tried out for the team, brought honor to their benefactors and enhanced the reputation of their school.

Popularity of Motocross Races Increasing
In recent years the popularity of mo:cycle racing has grown to intertional proportions. This rapid owth has caused a network of :ing facilities to be constructed ross the U.S. The State College :ea witnessed its advancing poparity in 1970 when a motocross ,ck, where races were held alost every Sunday, was built in ormstown. Because most racers begin their reers during high school, local ,dents provided substantial spectar support for racing in the area. iveral State High teen-agers were so fracted to the sport that they began enter the races.
Scott Saunders, a sophomore at State High, worked after school at Two Wheels Cycle Shop, which was also his sponsor in the local races. On Sundays, he raced in the Junior class events of the District six Sportsman Scrambles. Greg Johnston was a senior at State High and the Centre County Vo-Tech School.

Annual Malady Reaches Epidemic Proportions
Every year high school students, and occasionally teachers, are afflicted with ~;e Cause: Elevm years (or more) of continual a temporarily crippling illness. The largest number of cases are reported during thinkmg the months of April and May when the disease is in its most advanced stages, ind its effects are most easily observed. Varied symptoms first occur during the end of eleventh grade and continue hroughout the twelfth grade. Some cases have been reported as early as ninth grade. The most common indications ,f the illness are blood-shot eyes and high blood pressure, accompanied by an irresistible desire for sleep during classes 1nd a tendency to gaze out the window. Definite behavioral changes are also characteristic. For example, shy students 1ave been known to begin harassing teachers and skipping classes. What is the cure for this alarming ailment? Why, graduation of course! What else can rid a student of the terrible plague that is commonly referred to as senioritis?

GRADUATION GRADUATION. Graduation is a singular experience, marking the end of a certain type of life, yet the begi(tning of another. This change we undergo is our first decisive step toward independence in the adult world. It is natural that we are filled with mixed emotions: sadness, confusion, joy, apprehension, fear, and anticipation. We have come to this building each day for these years knowing exactly what to expect upon our arrival: friends waiting to meet us in a specific place-the lobby, the band wing, the parking lot, or the library; an unvarying schedule of classes; a particular table in the lunch room. For three years in this building we have been with our friends every day, exchanging news, and becoming closer. During e.ach period of the day, we were surrounded by teachers and students we knew personally. Supported and guided by our parents, the decisions we made were not of major consequence. It was a very secure period in our lives. But when we graduate, we shed this security in exchange for greater self-reliance. The numerous critical decisions we are making now concerning our immediate plans will have a significant effect on the rest of our lives. Some of us will be getting

married and setting up a home right away. Others want to travel in order to experience different ways of life, or some may simply want to get away from home and work to see if we can make it on our own. Many of us will attend a business school, college, or military training camp. Those of us who will be leaving State College will have to cope with all the changes that go along with entering a completely new environment. We will encounter the necessities of making new friends, getting used to meals that are not "home cooked," finding new types of entertainment, and managing our time. The decisions we make now determine the direction we want our lives to take. Although a diploma is the only tangible evidence we will take with us when we leave this school on'' June 6, we are also sure to come away with two other definite, though less palpable products of the past twelve years. We will carry with us countless memories of "school lunches", homework, football games, and other sports events, study halls, achievements in and out of the路路classroom, nine-week grading periods, dating, and late hours devoted to extra-curricular activities. It is hard to believe that we are leaving all this

behind, and that a new class is ready to move up and take our places as seniors. Teachers and administrators will keep right on doing their jobs: the whole routine will continue even though we won't be there. But 1975 is our year and there will never be another like it. The experiences of our senior year are recorded in our memories. Each of us will also take from this high school our dreams and ambitions. The world is ne.w to us. It has much to offer, and we have much to give in return. No~ is the time to reach inside of ourselves, grasp hold of our dreams, and prepare to live them. Every opportunity in the world lies before us. There isn't one thing we can't accomplish if we want -it with pur entire being and are willing to put forth our greatest effort, surpassing disappointment, to achieve'.it. -Cindy Palladino

Academics, the basic strength of the spectrum student activity al State High, showed flexibility a comprehensive curriculum. Beyond the basics English, social studies, and foreign language, ere was a full range of departments and special ograms so that even in earning required credit, ch student had a choice in determining his own hedule of classes. Of the thirteen credits cessary for graduation, three were required in glish, three in social studies, one in malhe1tics, one in science, and one in health and ysical education. This left students' schedules en for electives and special curricula. Some 1sses could be audited or taken as independent Jdy.

State High offered three advanced placement courses that prepared students for the Princeton exam to earn college credit, in addition to advanced courses in language and the sciences. Advanced Placement History was usually scheduled in the junior year while math and history were offered to seniors only. One section of 120 students of ADVANCED PLACEMENT HISTORY was taught by Mrs. Marion Bressler. It covered the major trends and movements in American history from colonial times to the present. A full year year course, ADVANCED PLACEMENT ENGLISH, was a popular class designed to improve the student's knowledge of literature and interpretive ability, and command of the English language .

I also think it would improve all the art courses to have longer class periods - double periods would be a good idea." -Patty Bartlett
The ART DEPARTMENT was designed to meet 1e creative needs of students who wanted to evelop their abilities in the visual arts and rafts. Art forms like batik, pastel and charoal drawing, ceramics and jewelry were areas or creative exploration. Also, the art room was pened every Tuesday after school for anyone 1ho wished to work. Every January, there was an exhibit in Kern luilding for outstanding student art.

MUSIC THEORY was taught by Mr. James Langton on two levels. In Theory I students trained their ears to take note dication, and learned scales, chords and elementary harmony. Theory II delved more deeply into harmony, and students wrote song arrangements as well as their own compositions, some of which were played in the theory concert at the end of the year.
e Home Economics Department contained catagories of courses: Foods, Clothing, lame Living. e CLOTHING COURSES offered at State High very complete. They had Beginning Clothing 1gh Clothing Construction 111. The sewing , had an adequate number of machines and ilasses were not crowded. Clothing Courses open to boys as well as girls.

The FOODS sequence, including Foods I, II, Ill, and Chef's Course, was the most popular one in the Home Economics Department. Mrs. Johnson said that she and Mrs. Shaffer try to teach their students kitchen safety, cooking methods, consumerism and nutrition. The foods courses were set up similarly. They consisted of planning a meal (dishes and methods), cooking it and then finally eating it, by far the most popular part. The schedule included lectures on consumerism, food preparation demonstration, and other related items.

The WOOD SHOPS were full credit courses in which students constructed any variety of projects, from a simplistic cuttingboard to a complex wood sculpture. Under the supervision of Mr. Earl Weaver and Mr. Pat Vernon, the course was loosely structured and allowed much personal freedom and individual instruction. Courses in METAL SHOP were also available. There were many areas in which to work including welding, foundry, blacksmithing, art metal, and automotive and machine shops. ELECTRONICS I dealt with the fundamental laws and principles of electronics, component characteristics and how they influence circuit activity. Students were given information useful to consumers, and opportunities to experiment with the theories they learned .

Tennis, handball, and archery were examples of this new 1 trend, joining the team sports of fie(d hockey, soccer, basketball, and football. A wide variety of extra-curricular sports were also a part of the PE program .

State High was the only school in Pennsylvania that offered a major in DATA PROCESSING. The complete course ran for two years, and was designed to provide basic and advanced training on the use of data processing machines for students who planned to continue to study in college, or to get a job in the business world. The machines for which instruction was given were the key-punch, the sorter, the reproducer, and the 1130 computer system. The data processing program was part of the State High Business Education Department, and focused on speed and accuracy in using the machines in view of preparing students for jobs that would require the use of these four important machines. Dr. Hanna, the head of the Business Education Department, said, "These machines are part of the future; if you learn about them now, you'll know how to use them when you need them."

"I think the business English course is fantastic. We study in great detail the punctuation of sentences. We all thought we knew everything there was to know about grammar, but we found that we really didn't. Sometimes the simplest things in life are the hardest to learn! With the sparkling personality of the teacher, Mrs. Gilliland, the class never gets boring. Mrs. Gilliland has a way to make me do my work, do it properly, and understand how I did it when I'm done, as no other teacher I have ever had." -Cindy Zong "I really enjoy the business courses 1'm taking. It's more than just information out of a book; it's things I will be doing in everyday life after I graduate." -Cindi Hartman "The course I'm taking is not the usual Bookkeeping II course-instead it is more practical in that students work with actual school records." -Diane Byers

The students from the four area high schools enrolled in the program, attended their home school either in the morning or the afternoon, and spent the rest of the school day at Vo-Tech. Part of each course was devoted to theory, but the main emphasis was placed upon the practical application of the principles that were learned through the lectures and reading.

"The Modified School Day program gave me the chance to explore my interests in science and math at the university level. It helped me decide to major in biology." -Dave Seibel
After three years of planning, the ALTERNATIVE PROGRAM began its first year of operation in 1974. As any new program, it was thoroughly studied and critically analyzed. The Alternative Program was designed primarily to meet the educational needs and ideals of ninth through twelveth grade students. The planners of the program felt that students should be more involved in the community in which they live, in the creation of their individual learning experiences, in the goverance nf their school, and in the formation rule and the policy decisions.
Craig Bouwman, Chirs Weston, and Alison Kendall enter the Alternative School, formerly the College Heights
Elementary School.
Diana Younken, Mrs. Billie Farquahar, and Toby Kaufman dance all evening in the course, 'Dance of the Twenties' assisted by university students.
These goals were recognized as a spectrum of unique and different alternatives. The most important aspect of the Alternative Program was to allow the student to conceive and actually design courses suited to his or her individual needs. "Fit the program to the student, not the student to the program." Astudent with a special interest in any subject such as medicine, sculpturing, or law was able to develop courses in that area of concentration. It was also possible to work with a qualified community member and observe first hand what a doctor's or lawyer's job was like. The traditional school system could not provide such opportunities. Student involvement in the community, a highly emphasized and integral part of the program, was accomplished by two methods. Students could work or study with a community member at his job, and were encouraged to participate in a community project, for which the student received no credit or financial reward. "To help the community as

Implementing a different approach to governing the school and its students was another innovation of the Alternative Program. The system of government at State High was two fold: the faculty on one hand and the students on the other. The planners of the Alternative School realized that disunity and a lack of communication were flaws too often apparent in that system. They eliminated the problem by having students, faculty and parents, working together in the same governing body and sharing the responsibility of the total school government, producing a harmonious effect within the school.
"Whal does the Director of the Alternative Program do? The most succinct answer is, 'A wide variety of things.' He puts up the flag in the morning and sees that it is taken down at night. He confers with students, with parents, and with staff members. He tries to maintain the security of the building. He has the responsibility of the various administrative functions such as budgeting, and staffing, which are necessary in a school district. He is available to speak at gatherings to explain the philosophy and the operation of the program. He is concerned with discipline. But most of all, he works with students, trying to help them, be it with academic problems, personal problems, or problems of a completely unpredictable nature. This is where he gets his kicks.'' -Dr. Charles Boyd "It would be difficult to go back to the regular public schools where classes are so large. This is nirvana.'' -Mrs. Nancy Barger "I think a lot of students who are coming into this program are learning about themselves.'' -Mrs. Betty Bergstein ' ~
"I think a large fraction of students are accepting the responsibility of the program. We have to use this building more as the heart of the program and expand into the community."

"It is exciting to be involved in a program that is new and developing. No two days are alike; it is a challenge to be able to grow with the program." -Mrs. Peggy King "I think that the most important part of the program is giving students the opportunity lo develop their own educational program and giving students the freedom to make choices about what they learn and how they learn it. Also, it is vital, lo help students develop their own goals, and try lo meet them and learn lo assume that resposibilily." -Mrs. Jeanne Peterman "I want my students to learn how to listen and think, and lo notice the things around them.

"In designing an effective governance structure for the Alternative Program, two key issues faced us. One was the extent to which the Program could make its own decisioris about its operation, arid the second was how best to develop effective internal decision-making procedures." -Dan Chaffee. The basic goal of the Alternative School's governing structure was to help students become more active, independent, and responsible adults. Direct student participation in decision-making was the most effective means of achieving this goal.
I There were two major areas of governance-internal and external. Requiring maximum internal governance, much of the decision-making responsibility in the Program rested with its participants. Their responsibilities included the design of the educational programs and the methods of reporting student progress, discipline procedures, school calendar and the allocation of money within the Program's budget. "Most difficulties in a structure of this kind stem from the fact that neither teachers nor students have had much previous experience in cooperative decision-making. This problem can only be solved through time." -Dan Chaffee An important aspect of the governance structure was the Board's six standing committees that were designed to give informed advice on mai·or issues. The Board would define an issue that had been brought to its attention, and then the appropriate committee would gather information about the subject, prepare a series of alternatives, and then finally recommend the policy it favors.
Herb Diamant, Appeals Committee Chairperson, waits to give his report to the Governing Board.
"Although a common problem with a small decision-making group such as the Alternative Program's Governing Board, is that it can become cut off from the people it represents. To solve this problem, the Governing Board involved additional people on all standing committees to deal with such subjects as curriculum, teacher selection, evaluation, and grading." -Dan Chaffee The Board made many important decisions concerning attendance policy and grading procedures. It approved the next year's budget, student recruitment procedures, and course scheduling.

The Alternative School was the only school in Pennsylvania, and perhaps the United States, that required a community project. Dr. Robert Campbell, Assistant Superintendent of Instruction in the State College Area School District said that the variety of community services performed by students was the reason that the State Department of Education was so impressed with the Alternative Program, and added, ''There is value in contributing your expertise to the community. It rs hoped that this responsibility will be learned by students." Becoming involved with people other than their teachers and fainilies was an important part of learning at the Alternate School. Betty Bergstein, organizer of the community service efforts at the school, gave students information concerning the community groups that needed volunteers, and helped to get them situated in a project they would enjoy.

I People who joined the Alternative Program in 1974 were able to take courses outside conventional classroom environment This idea was especially exciting for those interested in subject areas not formally taught in the high school. Through the Alternative Program, the student was put in contact with a community volunteer skilled in the student's area of inter路
est. This volunteer then became part of a counseling team which consisted of at least one of the student's parents, a guidance counselor, a teacher in the Alternative Program, and anyone who the student felt would be of help to him in his studies. The counseling team cooperated
with the student in planning his schedule and in setting up goals for his self-directed education.
Dave Maua worked for at least fifteen hours per week with Mr. Willits in the Instructional Media Center in the Alternative School building making small time video tape proOOctions for the school district Dave also assisted in setting up dubbing facilities, helping with technical problems and equipment failures, and working with assorted connectors for the Instructional Media Center. In the profession of television produc路 tion which includes camera and audio work and directing, Dave was interested in sound reinforcement.

With him, she visited the area schools to repair whatever needed fixing. Although their work sometimes included such things as insulating buildings, most of their jobs consisted of plumbing. Naomi became interested in plumbing in the summer; and through the Alternative Program, she found a way to explore this field. LEFT: Naomi Jordan, a unique plumber, adjusts a leak路 ing pipe.
Because of his interest in safe bike waYs in State College, Dave VanHorn decided to give his time to taking surveys on the need and expected u.se of planned bike paths in the area. Dave gave reports to the Centre Region Hike-Bike Association and the Borough Council. He worked under Ron Short for the Centre Regional Plan路 ning Commission which was intending to set up bikeways that would be the most convenient for the townspeople.

Because of her interest in physical therapy, Wanda Shaffer worked at the Mountainview Unit of the Centre Community Hospital with physical therapist Mr. Benneit. She began observing the techniques Mr. Benneit used to treat the different diseases, and later she assisted him with his patients. This kind of practical, selfdirected program helped Wanda to make the important decisions: whether or not she wanted to pursue the career of physical therapy, and what sort of higher educational program she would like to follow. BELOW: Mr. Benneit explains the advantages of the whirlpool bath used by patients with arthritis and bone defects to Wanda Shaffer.
Eric Cleveland explained why he joined the Alternative Program in this way: "One of the greatest reasons for joining the Alternative Program was that it allowed me to explore the profession of medicine in the community." Eric choose to work with a pathologist at the Mountainview Unit of the Centre Community Hospital for six weeks, three hours a day. "Working with a pathologist gave me a more complete understanding of medicine. It also gave me the opportunity to partially decide if I wanted to be a doctor. It was a wonderful learning experience."

Mike Woika was named State High's 1975 Betty
Crocker Family leader of Tomorrow after scoring well on a written knowledge and attitude examination
administered to high school seniors in State College and throughout the country on December third. Objective questions made up 50% of the test, while
the remaining half was an essay dealing with the views of youth on ditterent problems facing families today. Mike received an award from
General Mills and was eligible for state and national honors and scholarships. Brothers Matt and Paul Suhey were named to the
hundred member Prep All-American Football Yearbook as announced by "Coach and Athlete Magazine". Nominations for the most outstanding players in each school were made in December by high school coaches, sportswriters and college recruiters across the country, and the final team was then selected by a panel of judges for the magazine. The purpose of the program was to encourage sports achievements and individual athletic ability on the local and national level.
The Gold Key was a state-wide award given to outstanding art students each year. The winners for 1975 from State High were Nena Winand in watercolor, Laurie Stinson in jewelry, and Donna Sherwood, Sue Maize! and Pam Moyer, all in printmaking.

In the fall, the library held a contest to determine who could read the most books over a
en week period. Ranging from 19 to 82 books, some of the winners read more than a book day. The books had to be taken out of the school library. The winners received books as
,rizes. Library Assistants were, as Mrs. Brame said, "excellent workers." They were students who olunteered their services during lheir study halls. The duties of the Library Assistants
aried greatly. They helped to keep the library clean, they kept the books in order, ran
rrands for the librarians, took care of overdue books, dld laminating, and tried to enforce he rules of the library. Without the aid of these students, many teachers, students and ibrarians would have been at a loss.
The student AV Assistants volunteered their services to just about everyone in the school. 'hese volunteers took care of all the audio-visual equipment. They aided teachers in 1perating the equipment, transporting it, and servicing it. AV Assistants also helped in 1ideo-taping intramurals, and plays.

The administration, the faculty, the students and even the community depended upon, and often took for granted, the efforts of a few individuals who worked backstage to make others look good. Whenever anyone used the auditorium, John Strother, Mike Yeato.n and Glenn Avey were there to set up and operate lights, sound, and whatever else was needed to make everything run smoothly. In addition to heading crew work for all Thespian productions, and band, choir and orchestra concerts, they became stage hands automatically when another organization rented the auditorium. John Strother, as stage manager, was responsible for all the backstage equipment and, with the help of the others, often made repairs and improvements on the light board, battens, and other apparatus. Somebody once said, "To make something truly great, the last ingredient must be time." The cast and crew of this year's District One-Act entry, The Figure of the Cross, waged an edremely tough battle against time. The 40-minute limit was hard to meet, but not one single member of the cast or crew ever gave up the fight, and even. though time won by 4 minutes, everyone knew they had a winning play, which was confirmed by the ratings the play received: Two e,cellents and one superior.

The toughest match of the season 1ad to be the one with Altoona. A formilable rival, they, in addition to Westmont lilltop of Johnstown, had always been 1ne of the two teams to keep State High rom an undefeated season in previous â&#x20AC;˘ears. But neither team caused the :iris any grief this season. The Lady .ions came away with 6-1 and 5-2 vicories over Westmont, and 5-2 and 1-3 victories over Altoona. The State ligh women had no problem over1owering their other opponents, a few ,f them being relatively new teams in he league. Led by Krista Magnuson, Number lne player and Captain, the whole team eally put their hearts into competition. he first ten or twelve players went D the away matches and got a chance D play in either singles, doubles, or ,xhibition matches. Team positions were etermined by challenge matches which ,ere played every Tuesday and Thursay. There were interscholastic matchs on Mondays and Wednesdays 1roughout the season. To exchange laces, a player had to beat the oponent in the higher position twice. The top five girls who worked hard all ummer to improve their skills and to e in shape when the season began, ,ally gave an all-out effort; competion between them was really tough. ome challenge matches were close attles until the final points, and iere were always a few positions changd throughout the season. Two team members, Sarah Steele nd Cathy Schmidt never dropped a 1atch all season long. Each had a parcularly outstanding win against West1ont Hilltop. Sarah was losing 5-0 I the first set, but came back to win oth the set and the match 7-5, 6-0. athy won her match 6-4, 6-1, even 10ugh she matched against their numer one player!

"Despite the set back of only five meets, the girls were truly dedicated and worked to their potential," said Coach Ann Infield when the Lady Lion Harriers completed a 5-0 season, and Sue Haythornthwaite and Sally White placed 7th and 9th respectively in the first annual PIAA Cross Country State Meet. Improvement was constantly demonstrated throughout the season. Five girls bettered their time by at least one and one-half minutes. The most memorable event of the season for Captain Barb Nesbitt was "participating in the meet at Lower Dauphin and then attending the State High football game at Cedar Cliff." Cross Country also provided a chance to form friendships with other runners from other schools as Barb Nesbitt explained, "Since we met with Jersey Shore three times, we got to know the girls by name". The hardest events of the season were the six-mile loop and the 880 repeats. "They really pooped us out," laughed Barb. The future looks very promising since the whole team is returning next year. This provides an excellent foundation for a bigger and stronger team.
It was a year of frustration for the basketball team. Although they finished with a record of 10 wins and 12 losses, the cagers were never completely dominated by any single team. They often found themselves on the losing end of close games, many times losing by only one or two baskets. In the first cycle of the Central State League schedule, the team found themselves facing a strong Jersey Shore squad for the first place title. Jersey Shore won the game, 43-41, to capture the first cycle crown. The second game between the two teams had an ending similar to the first. This time, playing on their home court, the lions lost the game by one point before a large hometown crowd. Although always in contention, the team failed to place high enough in the league standing to defend their Central State title. They also did not qualify for District playoffs, thus ending their season with the regular schedule. Eight seniors graduated from the team, leaving a fairly experienced backbone of underclassmen to form next year's squad. Co-captains Jim Nordblom and Dave Nelson, Jim Langton, Dave Haffner, Joe Hart, Chris Hoover, Pat Snyder and John Krumrine graduated, leaving Coach Ron Faris with John Riger, Chris 'Mal' Dodds, Mark Hess, and Victor Wilson to work with for the future.

Although the season had its low points, he majority of this year's wrestlers agreed hat the squad produced many bright moments vhich out-weighed the dim times. Working vith as few as four seniors at one time in he starling lineup, Coach Ron Pifer proluced a squad that established a fine record 1f seven wins and five losses. The year started out well with the first natch ending up in a well-deserved win over ewistown, 29-11. This important match served s a warmup for the second clash of the year, meet with Lock Haven Bobcats. The Bobats proved to be too tough, and they took
the match 23-19. However, the team bounced back with an easy win over Bald Eagle Area, 31-12. The Lower Dauphin Christmas tournament kept the team in good shape for the next three matches, effortless wins over Dubois, West Branch, and Chief Logan by scores of 28-13, 27-12, and 34-9 respectively. The second half of the season started out with a tough loss to Hollidaysburg. The grapplers sandwiched in a win over Bellefonte before bowing to an overpowering Clearfield team, 28-9. The squad ended up the season with a relatively simple win over Penns Valley, followed by a 16-27 loss lo Altoona and an
unexpected 18-22 defeat al the hands of Phillipsburg. The team lost many fine seniors this year, including Paul Suhey, Chris Seiter, Chuck Bird, Phil Weller, Mark Richard, Galen McWilliams, and Mike Torelli. But Coach Pifer was left with many fine underclassmen who, along with the the previously mentioned seniors, participated in many post season tournaments. Once again the Lion grapplers showed that they could keep up with some of the toughest teams in the state and would have the potential to continue to do so in future years.

This year's indoor track and field squad, composed primarily of underclassmen, was not well recognized by its home supporters because all but one of the meets were away. The majority of these away meets were held in Pittsburgh, Wilkes Barre, and New York. Tearn scores were not kept as team members were entered individually in the meets. Along with Coach Jackson Homer's hurdler's, Coach Tom Wallace's fieldmen held their practices at the Fairmount Avenue Elementary School gym, while the remaining runners practiced at the Westerly Parkway outdoor track, affectionately referred to as the "Arctic Circle." The team, led by the ten seniors, was expected to provide a strong nucleus for spring track. According to its participants, the main purpose and benefit of the indoor program was to prepare underclassmen for a hopefully strong future.

The 1974-75 gymnastics squad came back after a loss early in the season to become one of the best boy's teams ever to perform at State High in the school's history. Hopefully, the team will be just as strong next year. Senior Allen Boal, the team's lone 9-0 gymnast, was the only loss to graduation. Allen, an experienced team leader, could always be depended on in a tight situation. He won the District championship on the still rings as a sophomore, and on the long horse his junior and senior years. He also qualified for the State championships as a senior. The three underclassmen who performed all-around will be back next year. Captain Dave Weintraub, District champion and Regional and Slate qualifier on high bar and floor exercise, John Roberts and Jeff Krug will provide the basis for next year's squad. John's specialty was floor exercise, while Jeff did well on the pommel horse. Of great importance to the team were the specialists, individuals who performed on only one or two pieces of equipment. Ken Mayers on floor exercise, Chris Fagan, the District rings champion, Mark Allen, Jack Chernega, and John Naginey rounded out the squad. With a fine season under their belts, along with plenty of experience, next year's team should prove to be as capable, individually and collectively, as this year's fine gymnasts.

On and off the court the Lady Lions were distinguished by their closeness as a team.

A COi.i.AGE OF CltARACTER Few photographs could accurately portray the vigor and enthu- to pattern themselves more towards the needs and desires of today's high school siasm which typified the work of the many clubs and organiza- student. The average club demanded time, effort, and cooperation on the part of stutions at State High this year. It was a dynamic year, one of re- _dents involved; and as a result, 1974-75 was a year of much praise and recognition organization and change. While the Medical Careers Club and WSCH, for the members of these active groups. The 1974-75 organization demanded a the State High radio station, faded from the immediate picture, full-time commitment, but State High students proved that they were willing to put a young, hardworking bunch of girls under the acronym of FHA forth the ingredients necessary to excel in their respective fields of interest. (Future Homemakers of America) took their place as a careeroriented club at State High. The 1974-75 school year also saw the reinstitution of the French and Spanish Clubs. A group of industrious French IV students met weekly after school with Mrs. Cornhill to discuss (in French!) small but interesting bits of trivia related to French music, literature, and history. Under the leadership of Robin Zonts, a Spanish newspaper, La Voz Hispanica, was started this fall. Astra, the girls' service organization, started many innovative projects with the guidance of its new advisor, Mrs. Henderson. The band took on a new group of performers officially titled Pep Club and Drill Team. PawPrinl editor Mike Flynn introduced a new, weekly format for the school newspaper, and Thespian Troupe # 175 reorganized and added to its bylines to build a more workale system of membership. These are only a few of the many innovations which marked the 1974-75 year and helped to widen the spectrum of student activities at State High_ This year, many organizations took on a new "twist" or addition Extracurricular activities other than interscholastic athletics received no funds from the administration and were entirely dependent on their own means of support. Along with the expansion of the opportunities provided by many clubs came an urgent demand for money. One of the many possibilities proposed to help alleviate the problem was a Student Council Activities Fund, but where was the money for the fund to come from? The only solution was a myriad of individual fund-raising events to help support each activity, in which club members tried with both time-proven old and ingenious new methods to hurdle the one major obstacle on the road to functional organizations-lack of money.
ORGANIZATIONS 1974·75
"I found it greatly disappointing that our administration failed to provide our team with publicity and generally does not feel that Scholastic Quiz is as important as some interscholastic sports. It is just another example of how the intellectual climate of our school is abused. It is also sad since with each victory we bring the school a $600 scholarship. I hope we win the championship so we can show the school that there is more to life than jockstraps and eye shadow." -Rick Bryant

Why do people join organizations? Undoubtedly, they participate for a variety of reasons: learning new skills, meeting new people, or simply developing an exciting pastime or diversion. But one thing which drew many students to the new clubs and organizations this year was for the sheer pleasure of it. Two purely nonsensical clubs developed at State High this year: Pooberty High and Trivia Club. Pooberty High, an offshoot of the band, had weekly meetings, an advisor, and a fight song. Trivia Club, meanwhile, challenged the Scholastic Quiz team to a "match of wits." For some reason the former rescinded their invitation before the game could be scheduled. While it was definitely a strong year for expansion and seriousness in most clubs, they all found room for at least a small portion of levity. Perhaps, it was part of the generally apathetic trend which challenged the school all year. But, from those who were taking part in the many farcical activities throughout the year, the typical reaction was, "So what! We're having a good time and isn't that what high school is supposed to be for?"
lMD TltE BAND MARCltED OM ...
"The Band of '74-'75 was quite distinct from any other. A new mood and different way of doing things developed; but the hot, grueling summer and cold, fatiguing fall practices remained much the same. The band triumphed over long bus rides, waterlogged fields, and artificial turf while expressing its originality. The band may sometimes appear fragmented (with 200 entities and many changes in one year, what can be expected?); however, the members are united in 'one area: expressing and developing themselves through music." -Cindy Rohrbeck "Band is an all-year organization full of hard work and good friends." -Debbie Forney "When you are out on the field, you don't think about cliques. You just play and try to do your best." -Melanie Johnson
"Words cannot express the thrill of being asked to be the first drum major in State High's history, and the satisfaction of performing with the band as its first student director." -Brent Frank "It feels good to play with a group of people. B{:yourself you can make music; 路but, as part of the whole band, it means so much more. It's a bigger sound, a deeper feeling." -Melanie Johnson
In an effort to raise money for the fifty new jackets necessary to outfit every member with his own uniform, the Senior and Sophomore Bands sold saplings. Unfortunately, they were unable to raise enough money to buy the jackets on their own. It was Ann Gilmore's opinion: "As band members, we saw the administration's seeming lack of interest in all aspects of band. This was perhaps the biggest disappointment of the year."
)FF TliE FIEI.D "Brent was great! I don't know if anyone else could do as well as he did. He acted as if he knew what he was doing and did a fantastic job. Most of all, he was Brent." -Greg Hutton "Adding a drum major was a good idea. State High emerges as having a more classy, more mature band." -Dave Friedman
"Are there cliques band? Well, I ss so. Every group few cliqu-.s, but it esn't seem to hurt ne. No one is ever excluded." -Martha Baylor

Most people know that the Band marches, but it also has numerous off-the-field activities. In addition to the annual Spring Concert, the Band gave a special "pops" concert for the Knights Templar, an eye foundation; marched in two parades; formed a Pep Band for home basketball games; and paid their own way to the Cedar Cliff football game. "This year the band was in such a large variety of activities that it is hard to pinpoint any one area as being the most enjoyable. To me the most enjoyable were the activities people volunteered to participate in, such as the Santa Claus parade and the Halloween parade. Such eagerness to perform is a rare quality among high school bands but even more rare is the fine talent of this organization." -Ann Gilmore
"Being a majorette doesn't hit you until you put on the uniform."
A PIMCli OF PIZAZZ
"Performing on the fieldthat's what it's all about" ... "It's exciting to finally put ona show after hard work." ... "The practice improved us." The majorettes were busy all year, not only with football games, but also with marching in competitions and parades, going to camp, making up routines, and finally picking the '75-'76 squad. Was it fun? They loved every minute of it! ... "There were a lot of new things about our squad this year, from metal-tipped batons to our featured twirler, Joanne DiRinaldo." ... "We used different ideas like maracas and garters." ... "At tryouts I was scared of not makini it a second time. After I did, it was exciting to start all over again."

"This season was an exciting one for Colorguard, with new uniforms and dynamic rifle twirling routines. Of course, there were mistakes too, like marching off in a different direction from the band at the Grange Fair. Along with all this excitement is the tradition involved in Colorguard: standing at attention for the national anthem and moving with the band during the Alma Mater. Memories and mishaps are all part of being State High's Colorguard." -Eve Kingsbury

CONSTRUCTION AND CROSS路 EX "In debate there was something for everyone. For the in-depth scrutinizer, there were the constructive speeches; for the combative antagonist, the cross-examinations; for the precise logical analyst, the rebuttals. A logical case structure, well-supported by adequate evidence, was the core of each side's argument. A debate, then, was a war of words contained, for better or worse, only by format and formality, a rewarding experience for those willing to devote the time necessary to utilize it to its fullest extent." ~ Jim Kirchner

48 CltEERI.EADERS URGE 1.10.'tS ON "I absolutely love cheering for football games. Marching is a lot of fun. You try to do your best because you're representing the school. It's a challenge. You have to work really hard to get the fans enthusiastic about the game." -Patty Davey "A big part of cheering is the football season. It's a big sport, and you're a part of it. I like cheering because I enjoy supporting the teams, and not for the reasons some girls like it-namely, popularity. But I like all sports; I like cheerleading, and that includes girls' sports-they are a part of the school and deserve as much recognition as the guys." -Jill Tracy "Cheering? I love it! For all sports-not just the big ones." -Joan Bruce
"You can tell some girls love to cheer by looking at their faces while they're cheering. You know they'll do a good job because they are enthusiastic, and their hearts are in it." -Mrs. Bailey
<:-.. ... ..,,..,,
TO ,11CTOR1f Contrary to popular belief, the cheerleaders worked hard to support the Little Lion teams. Under the supervision of Mrs. Bailey, the squad practiced twice a week for two hours. During these meetings the cheerleaders worked on new cheers for their different activities, painted signs for the lobby, and discussed problems of the squad. With a larger number of girls, ii was more difficult to get everything precise and coordinated with only four hours of practice weekly. During the summer the cheerleaders attended cheerleading camp in the Poconos for one week sessions. At camp they learned new chants and cheers and were given a variety of suggestions for pep rallies. (Unfortunately, they were only able to put on one pep rally for the combined fall sports teams.) The girls also took part in the first annual "Back the Lions" parade, began cheering at girls' basketball games, and taught younger girls how to cheer during Christmas vacation. The squad was significantly larger, but so was the 1974-75 squad's spectrum of cheerleading activities. "A good squad depends on cooperation and some people just don't give it. Once they make cheerleading, they think that's the end of the work. The away games are the most fun but are also the most work." - Kim Coleman "I was glad I made cheerleading this year, but last year was more fun, more challenging and more individualized. This year I felt like it was handed to me. There was no competition."
"The best part of all is yelling with everyone in the crowd." -Karen Magnani

The 1974-75 school year was one of re-organization and change for Thespian Troupe #175. Traditions remained but State High's theatrical club broadened it's horizons and emphasized specific rules in moving on to more difficult dramatic works. This year, for the first time, the officers were elected by all members of the troupe and their duties were more scrupulously defined than before. More significantly, anyone was able to become a member of the local Thespian troupe. Elsie Spry stated: "In an attempt to produce theatrical forms which reflect the true potential of our high school in the field of drama, Troupe #175 produced Dylan Thomas's Under Milkwood instead of the traditional One-Acts this fall. Portions of the show were staged in Bellefonte where we were received with thunderous applause. It was really a great experience. With the help of the student body, Thespians will continue working to make State High as acclaimed in the arts as it is in sports." ABOVE: MAKEUP AND COSTUME CREWS. FRONT (lying): Glenn Avey.

"Few people realize the time and effort put forth by the Thespian crews toward the activities of incoming organizations in addition to the backstage work for all school functions. Most of the students involved backstage on the various crews are hard-working and conscientious, but they receive little or no recognition." -Dave Werberig "Every person, along with his thoughts and ideas, is unique, is an actor. Drama Workshop was created to develop the individual potential of anyone interested in the theatre. While the workshop lasted, its members were able to entertain the Retired Teachers' Association with a performance of Up the

~.A~t IT AGAIN "This year, the orchestra was busy preparing music for three concerts-one in February, another in March for the soloists, and the final concert in May. The selections for the concerts included Baroque, Traditional, Impressionistic, and Contemporary pieces. Many orchestra members qualified for Regional Orchestra from the District Orchestra Competition, State High proving once again the strengths and abilities of its music department." -Cathy Dupuis "From the pizzicato of the violins to the roll of the timpani, music surges over the members of the orchestra. Weeks of rehearsal pass and progress becomes more and more evident, until the night of the concert when you give your most to make it a success. Then, as the applause fades, the work and fun of preparing more music begins once again." -Nancy Kauhl "I feel the orchestra doesn't get as much recognition as the other musical organizations of the school. It's fun, a break from the everyday rock 'n' roll. It's small, not as good as it could be. If more people took the time to listen to an orchestra or to participate in one, they might be surprised at what they would find. It might be a new, exciting experience.'' -Kathy S. Hartman
"Orchestra is a combination of many things. Besides the music itself, there is the thrill of knowing that you are helping to create something beautiful." -Tina Murphey
TltlMI( SNOW ! " 'What are you doing up this early?' Seven A.M. Saturday mornings found us sitting in a dark school bus headed for Oregon Hill wondering what kind of conditions we would find. We experienced quite a variety: ice, slush, even a blizzard. Everyone was wide awake after the two-hour ride and anticipating a fun-filled day. Friends and snow mix well. GLM lessons were fun (especially with a cute instructor). The 'pros' were on the slopes right away. The day passed quickly. 'Did you really fall off the T-bar?" 'Did the chair lift break again?' 'Attention, Little Lions, this is the Big Lion speaking.' 'Aw, is it 4:00 already?' 'Hey, Mr. Busdriver-hea!'' 'No, it's too hot.' 'Hey, I'll trade you this sandwich for that cupcake. Or how about that bag of Fritos?' Maybe it is all worth getting up at six A.M. WHAT A SEASON! The weekend trip in March was a fantastic final fling.'' -Lisa Axt "Skiing is one of the most exciting sports that exist and one I would probably never have experienced if it hadn't been for the school-sponsored ski trips." -Karin Long
"I like going down the 'Big OH' without falling, just zippidydo-dahhing the whole way down; but I hate falling off the T-bar onto my buns when everyone is watching me get ready for 'hot skiing.' Ski Club has both its advantages and its drawbacks, but what can I say?I like to ski." -Nancy Aspaturian
ASTRA PER ASPERAâ&#x20AC;˘â&#x20AC;˘
"Astra, the Altrusa Club youth project, is for girls 13-20 years of age. The name is formed from the first letters of the following words: Ability, Service, Training, Responsibility, Achievement. The purpose of Astra is to provide opportunities for personal development and career planning, service, and social and cultural activities. -The International Altrusan" vol. 51, no. 3, Nov. 1973 "'To the stars through hard work.' This year, money earned from Astra's fund-raising activities, went to various charities including UNICEF, the Cancer Society, Meals on Wheels, and our foster child, Amy. Occasionally, guest speakers came to our meetings to speak on such topics as career planning, nutrition, and cosmetology." -Susan Magnani ..,,..,,,,,.,,.,,,,,='
l/ARIED SEm/lCES FOR OUR COMMUNIT~f
"State College's Key Club, as usual, had a busy year. Sponsored by the State College Kiwanis Club and advised by Dr. Donald Cross, the twenty-five male members accomplished many noteworthy projects. Besides such annual projects as helping the Kiwanis Club with their Pancake Supper and Spring Week booth, the club undertook several innovative projects. For example, the club's members collected money for UNICEF in October, assisted with the 'Send a Mouse to College' program for the American Cancer Society, and cut firewood for State High's band director, Mr. Hege. Having fun was the guys' reward for serving the community." -Rich Schein

The State College chapter of the Future Homemakers of America developed a program of activities. Everyone participated in a candy sale lo help raise money. The funds were used to help finance the trip we took lo the state Future Homemakers of America Convention in Philadelphia. Service projects to help people in the community was another main goal the girls had in mind. We also spent time on activities such as sewing. Hopefully, our FHA Chapter will become enough involved to encourage more girls to join and keep the club going for many years after the present members have graduated." -Laura Styslinger

"The International Relations Club, with 27 members, seemed to spend most of its time raising money, rather than discussing or learning about international affairs. Instead of ECMUNC, we chose to go to a national model United Nations conference in New York City; and since we received no aid from the school in raising the three thousand dollars which was necessary to send everyone, we set out to do it ourselves. That meant lots of bake sakes during basketball and wrestling season, selling discount cards, and other fund-raising activities. It seems sad that this club couldn't spend more time doing what its name implies, rather than making money, but since the school wouldn't give any money to us, we therefore had to dedicate most of our efforts lo one objective: getting that three thousand dollars." -Leda Zimmerman

~EW IDEAS IN OUR I.AST 1fEAR
"Acting within its abilities, the Senior Senate at State High was very successful. It completed several profitable fund raising projects as well as planning and putting on the Junior and Senior Proms. With its earnings the Senate provided many things that the class is unaware of, such as engraving each senior's yearbook with his or her name, and also buying each senior a cover for the yearbook. The cost of last year's Junior prom and graduation announcements were kept minimal in order to have more money for the Dinner Dance. Although the meetings often seemed disorderly, quite a bit was accomplished, even if it wasn't in the most efficient way. Our Senate should be commended for its work and will hopefully be remembered as a worthwhile organization." -Rich Schein "Those who attended Senior Senate meetings were from many different 'groups' in the school. Since everyone was represented or took part themselves, our class became more unified." - Jackie Menoher "I think that for the first time, our class was pulled together. The turn-out at meetings was really good and everyone worked well together. Besides getting the Winter Dance organized, we also worked on the Dinner Dance, picked out our graduation announcements and pulled off a mixer. We planned an enjoyable Dinner Dance and decided for the first time to have graduation exercises on our own ground-Memorial Field. Unspent funds will go for reunions. I think we did a fine job, and I'm finally proud to belong here." -Kathy Bennett
''A NEW BREED OF l(IDS

"This year's Junior Senate was anything but inactive. Under the supervision of faculty advisor Mr. Phil McCall and Co-presidents, Kim Coleman and Terri Schreffler, this group of hard-working students accomplished a great deal. Its men,uars adequately dealt with the annual junior prom and generated new ideas for fund-raising projects. In addition, this organization added a new dimen路 sion to its goals: the money earned from these projects financed the prom and served the State College community at the same time. Donations were contributed to Student Council's Welfare Drive, the Meals on Wheels project for th_e elderly, and the State College High School athletic program. The Senate's major goal was to unite the members and generate a feeling of uniqueness within the class of '76. In addition, it strove.to implant this feeling in the minds of the administra路 tion and the community. There's little doubLthat the Junior Senate succeeded, and it made the class of 1976 a memorable one." -Lisa Stevens

WRESTLING 1974-1975
"We got off to a slow start, but once things began to run smoothly, we received a lot of student support." -Kim Coleman "Senate has always had a problem raising large sums of money due to a lack of student cooperation; how路 ever, the members who did contribute their time and efforts this year were able to unite in deciding how to apportion the money raised. (And that included far more than the annual junior prom.) The money Senate raised came from a variety of projects: football shakers, lollipops, wrestling program advertisements, and the great 75垄 candy bar sale. I don't think Roy Rogers will ever be able to forget the hoards of Juniors who came swarming in to redeem their milk shake certificates at the last minute." -Carol Barash
AM E'fE OM TltE FUTURE "The Sophomore Senate started a busy year by selling gym bags and wastepaper baskets; and, as our major fund raising project, we sold Little Lion ceramic mugs. With this project, and other new ideas, we hoped to have a firm financial base for our junior prom and senior year. We had some problem with a lack of student support, but by 1977 we hope to be one of the best classes State High has seen." -Bette Tobey

"Gym leading means not only having a chance to meet more students and teachers, but also working to gain experience in methods of instruction, of· ficialing, and sports you know little about. It is a club that you're not lied down lo; ii is entirely voluntary and only takes one or two study halls per week. I decided to become a gym leader because I wanted to work directly with teachers, and also because I love almost all sports. In college I plan to major in Physical Education." -Donna Sherwood

"This club was a place where we, who could not schedule art or crafts, could go to learn and to enrich our talents. Our name, the Fine Arts Club, carries a ring of deception for we were simply a gathering of students and teachers joined by friendship and an interest in art. Beauty, self expression, and satisfaction were our des· tinations; imagination, inspir· ation, mutual assistance, and a bit of talent was what got us there; and the whole lovely experience was what we shared." -George Tseo

If the reader turns to the Or· ganizations In· dex, he will find a picture of a group of young men who call themselves "boys leaders." In reality, there have not been any, "boys lead· ers" at State High for two years; unless they were invisible!
:ROADENINCi Tl4E SCOPE OF STUDENT CiOl/ERNMENT
"The 1974-75 school year was a rough one for all Student Council members. There was no great issue which would have required tremendous backing by the student body, so naturally the majority of students couldn't have cared less about us. Because the students were apathetic, the administration had no respect for us which resulted in the vetoing of anything constructive we tried to do, such as a campaign against smoking in the bathrooms. We had one objective that we could realistically do something about-Open-Campus. Letters were sent to many administrators state-wide to gain information and support for our program. Once again, the Welfare Drive was a great success. The circus did not go as well as expected, but we were able to sponsor booster buses to the Cedar Cliff football game and plant five trees around the school." -Dave Weintraub "Judging from the attendance. at council meetings, one could assume that State College has a Utopian senior high, or else the students have no wants or demands. Obviously, that's rediculous. If this sort of apathetic attitude towards vital problems such as the bathrooms doesn't change radically and soon, the school will really start to go downhill. Long-range plans must include the interests of all the students at State High." -Leda Zimmerman "What was it like to be in Student Council? It was frustrating. Everyone agreed that some things needed to be done, but sometimes there was just no way we could do it. People who weren't members of Council simply could not realize how hard it was to make significant changes. The students at State High could have what they wanted if they only had the nerve to stand up for it. The Student Council had the nerve but they lacked numbers. We had about thirty members." -Greg Hutton
SPltERES OF MUSIC
"The A Cappel la Choir is about eighty people who supposedly can sing pretty well. Sometimes I wonder. Sometimes we all wonder." -Greg ~utton 'The first day I kept thinking.,iWhat am I doing here? Everyone is a hundred times better than me. Maybe if I just open my mouth nobody will notice that I'm not singing'. I found out later that just about everyone else felt the same way." -Sue Baisley
"As a member I feel pressured to do better because if I don't I not only let myself down, I let my section down; I let the choir down. Your accomplishments stop being personal, and they become tied to the choir. The choir is a group." -Greg Hutton "In a concert situation, the members tend to band together and help each other through the performance." -Ann Gilmore
SING OF AN'fTltlNG ...
"At the beginning of the year, I was afraid I wouldn't like Choraliers; I was disappointed about not making A Cappella. But, when we started rehearsing, I changed my mind. I enjoyed the music we sang and the way the programs were done, with the first hall a regular choral presentation and the second hall an informal skit. I'm glad I had a chance to be in a group like this." -Karie Diethorn "Our less 'traditional' concerts created a relaxed atmosphere, for both the students and our audiences. With this atmosphere, I think the audience became a little more interested and involved in what we were singing." -Patty Davey
AND El/ER'fTltlMG
"The Sophomore Choir is another feather, In the cap of the class of '77. With free singing voices one could not tether, We made sounds lovely as heaven. Among our activities, Were giving performances, Singing C's and getting B's. Many thanks to our Director, Whom you all have seen or known, The way along our musical path, To us Mr. Langton has shown. Our Christmas concert, of course, was fine, Which should be to our school a very good sign, Knowing that your ears Can have pleasant music for two more years." -Doug Boyle

"In keeping with our avowed goal of encouraging academic excellence, Quill and Scroll, an academic honor society of State High, attempted to increase school interest in non-athletic accomplishments. To achieve this we held a writing contest. The winners were first place, Mike Flynn-'The' Hyperion Movement'; second place, Eric Cleveland-The Marsh'; and third place Leda Zimmerman-'The Livestock Exhibition.' Later, we held a concert by M~rning Song, and co-sponsored a journalism conference. We also discussed giving a scholarship to a worthy senior. Unfortunately the Weekly Bulletin, a major accomplishment of last year's society, subsided because of a lack of student support. On March third we initialed another new group of students, who will hopefully continue the traditional high literary standards that marked the Stale College Chapter of Quill and Scroll." -Oa-Shih Hu

TRAGED'f AND TRIUMPlt
"Que to a lack of submissions, the publication of 'Acclivity' was almost doomed, buf this year's staff worked hard to get enough written material and eventually triumphed over this obstacle. In light of the fact that we had a substantial drop in the number of poems, stories, and other literary materials that we received, we were forced to put out one issue instead of the traditional two. The first place that last year's issue received in a state competition put pressure on the staff and contributing students to produce another quality publication, which hopefully will do as well.'' -Roh Frick

"FBLA is open to any student who is laking business courses and who plans to enter the business community after graduation. The club prepares high school students for the business world by inviting guest speakers and by giving the members invaluable chances to participate in realistic business functions. The Future Business Leaders of America completed a successful year at State High. The FBLA Faculty Tea got the club off the ground lo a very active year of typing letters, filling stockings for the retarded at Christmas, and selling candy and lollipops as major fund raisers. The annual banquet brought this year's club to an end. Many members received awards for their hard work and achievement. The club wishes all seniors entering the business world good luck in all they plan to do." -Laura Styslinger
â&#x20AC;˘REPARIM
FOR TltE FUTURE
"On Wednesday, October 2nd, initiation was held for the thirty new members of the Future Farmers of America. In FFA we have high school as well as post high school members. We have been involved in many activities this year, including the Grange Fair, several livestock expositions, rodeos and many FFA conferences. Some of our members participated in the Farm Show in Harrisburg this year by showing their own animals. Other members were busy competing in the square dance competition. There were two teams, the four Corners and the Centre Circles. Both teams won blue ribbons. We also had a demonstration team whose theme was "Chute 'em Up", who showed how to build and use a chute. They received an eighth place ribbon. Other activities this year were field trips to the Gates' farm. There, we all helped prepare the animals for showing, as well as learned to check the corn yield and many other things that our new members needed to know." -Jolean Johnson
''FFA is a very valuable organization. Personally I am in FFA because I've always been interested in farming and agriculture, and FFA is a good way to pursue my interests. We have many learning activities which teach us about the various types of agriculturedairy, grain, beef, and others. Through these activities we not only learn new things about agriculture, but we also meet many interesting and helpful people. No matter what stage of FFA you're in, you still keep learning. In the first stage, Greenhand, you must have learned the basics of farming. In order to be promoted to the second stage, Chapter Farmer, you must have successfully invested fifty dollars in some sort of agricultural project. Keystone Farmer is next, an award given by the state in recognition of outstanding acheivements in agriculture. The last is the American Farmer award, given by the National Board of Agriculture. This is the highest award an FFA member can receive and it's very important. FFA has helped me, and many others to become better farmers."
1.IFE IS A DANCE
"What is dance? Dance is a form of self expression. It is more than body movement to music. It is movement of the mind, soul and character, Dance is a very human thing. From man's beginning to the present people have been dancing. It seems a shame that up until the start of Dance Club, this school had no serious representation of dance. My greatest reward from working in Dance Club was the experience of enjoying, learning and sharing dance with others." -Sue Maizel
"This year, the members of Dance Club succeeded in teaching ballet, jazz, tap, modern, and show dancing to those who could attend the meetings. They also helped" prepare other students for musical auditions and teach show dance techniques. They ran into difficulty trying to get their February concert off the ground, but the Spring concert was a success with many dances, including ballet, jazz, tap, and modern dancing. The members enjoyed both classes and concerts, hoping to bring a better understanding of dance to the school and community." -Cathy Dupuis "Dance Club meant various things to me at various times of the year. Though I wasn't able to go to as many classes as I wanted, those sessions I attended were fun and profitable (in terms of good exercise and learning new things about dance and techniques). Dance Club gave me the chance, every once in a while, to work out a few kinks and to relax." -Leda Zimmerman
"Besides reporting only news and student events as they occurred; PawPrint instituted a number of regular departments: the Weekly Calender, which forewarned students of upcoming events; the Sports Roundup, which reviewed sports events; and the Thought for the Week, such as 'Stattinger's Law: It will work better if you plug it in'. There were editorials that commented on various school policies. Introduced this year was the popular columnist Rip Cleaver who reviewed records and commented on the plight of the students' existence. There were also comics drawn by cartoonist Chris Fagan. The most talked about aspect of the 'new' PawPrinl was its 'Score-74 75.' contest. This was a treasure hunt with weekly clues such as 'It's in a library book, Chumps.' The prize money went up a dollar each week. While some people remarked on the size of the weekly editions, most agreed ii was more fun to look for mistakes every week rather than only four times a year. Voted the 'Goof of the Year' was this item from the February 7th issue: 'The PawPrinl staff would like to report an error made in last week's issue concerning the date of the upcoming orchestra concert. It was not held on the evening of February first, as previously stated. It will, rather, be held on Saturday, February I at 8:00 P.M. in the school auditorium.' All things considered, I feel this year's staff did an excellent job. The weekly papers went out on time, and the feature editions were a big success.'' -Rob Pennock, Contributing Writer
"Well anyway, there I was, surrounded, by a thousand African Pygmies! But that's a different story. Over the years the PawPrinl has had many different staff members-some good, some bad. But this year's staff, well, there's nothing they can't do or won't try (short of walking on water, and even then some of them will try it-messy, very messy) to get the next edition of the newspaper out and on the streets to our anxiously awaiting crowd of followers. We, the members of Super Staff, would like to thank you for your patronage and hope that you will remember to look for the paper next year." -Roy Parkinson
"This year's PawPrinl staff consisted of nine editors and our advisor, Mrs. Mary Belle Adelman. Although the list is too long to include, there were also many others who were reporters and writers, and who were instrumental in collecting school news. These people really came through when we needed them. This year's goal was to get out as many regular papers as last year, and to put out a weekly newsletter in addition to the regulars. This goal was accomplished, thanks to the many interested students who gave much of their time to help the staff meet deadlines. There were regular editions at the beginning of the year, Christmas, Easter, antl the end of the year. The newsletter came out on Fridays and there were about twenty-five of them. The staff would again like to extend its thanks to all the people, faculty and students, who helped the PawPrint accomplish its goals. -Mike Flynn /
CREATING Tit E I.ITTl.,E I.ION··
"The '75 Little Lion would have been impossible without the experience, creativity, and energy of Mrs. York, less impressive without the ideas and enthusiasm of Pat Carney, and impractical without the immense talent and dedication of a large staff. Together they made this book spectacular." -Jo Kidwell "Any job on a yearbook staff, especially one on this year's staff, requires hard work; but I can't imagine any truly sensitive journalist remaining unenthusiastic throughout the many weeks of preparation for this 1975 yearbook. The development of each section through the pictures, the re· vised copy, the color, and the design truly exhibited the potential of high school students given the proper materials with which to work. My condolences to all those who failed to enrich their lives through the purchase of this revolutionary publication." "This year the cooperation between the staff members in all aspects of yearbook has been superb. As a result, working in the J-Room has been fun, and the product we've turned out is the best ever." -Marilyn Suhr "What do you do when you have about six pages of interesting copy for a double page spread which needs only a little bit or the next DPS for which you have no copy and tons of extra space? Give up? Not if the deadline is only twelve hours away! You can do a page three dif· ferent ways before it finally turns out how you wanted it only to find out that your idea is either techni· cally impossible or doesn't fit the theme of the book. It can be de· pressing at times, but if you persevere your mental images can be transferred onto paper. A rough task? Yes, but that's yearbook!" -Carol Barash

The first day of the last year
September 4, 1974, is a day that will long be rememered as the beginning of the end of high school for the lass of 1975. It was strange to be back and to see a new sophomore lass emerging. Somehow they seem smaller every year. he seniors, the epitome of experience, sauntered hrough the halls smiling at those who ran nervously bout, looking for their homerooms. We waited for this lay. And yet, when asked how it felt to be a senior, Scott eadley replied, "You really don't believe that you are ,ne. You're still thinking the same thoughts; you're ,at any different." However, there were some who didn't share this sentinent. Many, like Merv Wright, were glad to have the end n sight, saying, "I'm glad I'm getting out of here." Most seniors were looking forward to a year of making riends, partying, taking it easy, and like Cindy Palladino 'deciding what to do with the rest of my life". Graduation was the crowning finale, on June 6, 1975.

A majority of students participated in more than one activity, either academic or athletic. Because of student involvement in activities over and above the required curriculum, State High has many extracurricular groups. This helps make the high school an enjoyable experience.

Class on the move With the annual fall elections, the Class Senate of 1975 began its year. The officers chosen to represent the Seniors were Annette Cardenuto and Pam Watkins, co-presidents; Pat Igo, secretary; and Jane Guthrie, treasurer. Pam's goal for the year was to "use our class money to benefit each individual". Our senior class started the year with $2,500-more than enough for the traditional dinner dance. Because of this, there were no major fund drives as in the past. Activities and plans for the money included: planting a tree in a courtyard, a mixer, a semi-formal Winter Dance, reducing the cost of yearbooks to seniors, starting a fund to benefit school clubs, a class picnic, and the Dinner Dance at the Elk's Club. According to Annette Cardenuto, "The main thing is for the class to have fun, to have activities that they want and that they will participate in." The Senate meetings were held monthly, a decision made at the beginning of the year. Mr. Filko, the advisor, says that this class "has as much school spirit as any

WAMPSICKLE is a word that is familiar to most seniors . In October students were given the option of buying up to three shares of WAMPSICKLE at one dollar a share. A Board of Directors for the organization was chosen, and they selected a stock to be purchased from the New York Exchange. Fifty shares of WAMPSICKLE stock were ourchased for a total assets of $450. Mr. Filko, WAMPSICKLE's creator, commented, "It's a learning device; sort of a mock corporation. In a realistic way, it's to familiarize students with the stock market and the decision making within a corporation." In the past, WAMPSICKLE has lost money, but this year it stood a better chance because the stock that was bought was of a higher quality. ~ In spite of numerous fluctuations in the market due to Ill- the economic instability in the world, students learned Ill- whether they collected capital gains or not.

Workshop, where she taught students the fundamentals of acting, and Dance Club, where she instructed Jazz. Having taken lessons from professional actresses and having been in 20 theatre pro· ductions in the past seven years, Marla was well qualified to teach workshops. Last year, in State High's production of "Bye, Bye Birdie", she was assistant director. Marla has also studied dance, including ballet and jazz. Recognition of theatre is one thing Marla wanted to achieve. "In the school I attended in Chicago, we had a fantastic theatre course. I had hoped to gel a course like that started here at State High. I think this school has a lot of kids who have potential to learn theatre, but we don't get support for it." Although no actual course material has

Attitude is the key
, Matk,Landiak !-Ca'.t~ylarson K,a,t_~y_lathi'op
"The first step in solving a problem is understanding its nature; the best way to enjoy school is to find out how anybody could. Why some young people bury themselves in books for hours while others do only as little as possible is a mystery. A great many students have been taught that the purpose of school is to get good grades. Then learning itself becomes a means to an end, and this attitude is nothing but damaging. It is a minority that enjoys education. To them there are few things more rewarding then finishing a difficult assignment correctly and knowing the effort was self-motivated. The difference between an achiever and one who fails is a difference in attitude. Making high grades is almost impossible for a student with a negative point of view. Those who are successful in getting good grades have to work hard for them and generally enjoy every minute of it. It certainly is easier to play than to work, and the more that learning becomes a game, the simpler it is. The end result, therefore, depends on the given attitude. Mastering a course can be the means to the end, or the end itself, depending on one's outlook. How could enjoying school be wrong?" -Lisa Stevens

Though wrestling is hard work, Bill Lopez has lots of fun.
Wrestling: difficult but satisfying "Wrestling is one of the most demanding of sports as far as mental and physical stresses are concerned. No other sport places such a burden on an individual. The conditioning involved is extremely difficult. All parts of the body must be in top working condition if one plans to do well. But probably what makes wrestling difficult is the mental aspect. A wrestler often must have the willpower to turn down enjoyable foods in order to keep his weight at the required level; no other sport demands this. Another factor, adding to the stress, is the pressure . involved. When it comes time for a match, it is just one against one; this is unlike football, where ten other people are on the field to assist. So, if a mistake is made by an individual, he has no one to blanie but himself. This mental strain combined with the physical stress makes wrestling one of the mn"f

I saw walking up and down in a Everybody tried to get his al once, and I stood by them without any idea of should go. After some time raged myself and asked the ,cher I met for some advice. old to see my counselor for edule. Many questions were n my head: Where can I find nselor? and What must I tell nearly gave up, but I sat 1nd just watched the other ,. I had expected everything irepared for me when I came ,I, as it was in Yugoslavia. the system is different. Stuare more individualistic. At didn't like them because of hey seemed very unusual to : after being here for a month, recognized that their way of probably better than ours they do not talk about per,roblems.

a word that hardly describes the md sometimes frightening expes and expectations that were f tenth grade. re was so much to do, new places new people to meet, and clubs 1. Days became jumbled memories shing from the Senior High to lnnex and back again; learning ve; watching and participating in ; events; doing homework; and just old goofing around. It was all so I any other year! ;ides the different school, people, ers, and activities we discovered, so became a different class. The r High rivals of Park Forest and :rly Parkway merged into the class ', a class we hoped would be a good ~e changed; we matured. ire were so many experiences that d us grow. Sports were imporexperiences for some of us-parti1ng in tournaments, and hoping, be I'll start Varsity next year!" I was also the myriad of other ties, such as marching band, choir, re, Senate, Student Council, and e clubs. Each of us found our own to shine and to have fun. We all I a place in the spectrum.

Africa was one of the World Cultures courses chosen by Dave Sawchuck, Lori Perine, and Cindy Lavin.
NOTHING DAUNTS SOPHOMORES Neither wind, nor rain, nor snow, nor
whatever gloom they faced could daunt the Sophomores who bravely put up with the predicament of walking from the Annex to the school or vice-versa throughout their "official" first year of high school. This situation created a number of problems, including having two lockers and two homerooms, carrying bundles of clothing and books from one school to the other, and trying to make it to their next class across the street on time . â&#x20AC;˘ The Class of '77 divided for three years in different junior high schools and again split into morning and afternoon annex sections, nevertheless, began to develop a sense of unity and class spirit among its spectrum of personalities and backgrounds.

Dr. William E. Babcock-Superintendent
Dr. BabcockHow do you keep in contact with parents, students, and faculty? "There are many methods and techniques for com mu nication between school officials and parents and students, such as the newspaper, letters, radio, meetings, social events, PTA, and even casual conversations. I feel tha t in this district we use all of these avenues of communication. " Dr. CarrollShould the cost of education be subsidized completely by public taxes? " Individual families should not be assessed for materials that are an integral part of the curriculum. But for a school which offers as many different programs as State College High, it is hard to decide whether or not something is an integral part of the curriculum. The School Board 路must decide where to draw the line.''

Mrs. Mary Belle Adelman-Guidance
Mrs. Norma Almquist-Home Economics
Mrs. AdelmanWhat are the frustrations that go along with counseling? . " In this particular school it's the size. We have large classes, and therefore a great dispersal of students. It's difficult to get to know even a small portion of them." Mrs. AlmquistAre students mature enough to handle their responsibilities? "One rotten apple spoils the entire bushel.

Mrs. BarryHow important are extra curricular activities? " I thin k they are rather important because they teach sportsmanship. They also give the school something to bind it together.

"Of course they have, so have I. You have to change in order to survive. " Mr. Gary Deivert-Math
Mr. DeivertWhat do you think causes student apathy? "Maybe they want to be sophisticated. It's the 'in' thing."
Miss DenisWhat is the greatest benefit from working with high school students? "Mainly, it's the contact with new ideas of young people and their different interpretations.
