ACADEMICS Even before man cou Id read or write, there was within his very being a unique striving for achievement. Seeking to better his situation, man used the elements about him to develop the wheel. Th ough at first crudely constructed , i t s concept has become a vital part of the 20th century world. In search of relig i ous freed oms, the Pilgrims crossed a mighty ocean and braved the dangers of an untamed land to start a new life and eventually a new country. 103 SENIORS 133 3 This new country grew up nurturing a striving spirit , developing it into every aspect of society from world affairs to the individual citizen . Though we were young and inexperienced in many areas of life, there still existed within each individual a full grown drive for success whether it be earning recognition or mere peace of mind. Our aims were measured on the guage of our surrounding world and that world was largely the school. So how did a student at THS strive for achievement? Some achievements were made d during lunch break. 2. relaxes in the courtyar ut her song , " Hap~y is interviewed abo .

Corporations found that they could bribe some people and some they could not. The CIA and the FBI were found to be overstepping their authority, and Patty Hearst realized that there were some things that she 15 couldn't get away with -- like bank robbery. Sometimes a student's strive for achievement was simply for rest and relaxation, peace of mind, and to get away from everyday pressures.

Whatever goal the individual student had for the 1975-76 year was something that he had to set for himself at the very outset with more to follow . He had to weigh his gains and losses with the world around him but most of all, he had to live each day as it came. •• 19 Sophomore Beginning Again Transition ... any sort of transition is hard to get used to and certainly the transition from Junior High to Senior High was no exception.

Not only did the Sophomore class seem to adjust to a new school and an new environment, but they also had the distinction of moving into THS with a new administration. Excitement. .. with any change .there almost always follows excitement. There was the excitement of new scheduling, the excitement of that first pep assembly .. .the first game... the first class meeting... election of class officers ... clubs and organizations to get involved with ...Sophomore spirit...and the excitement of just being in high school. There was a big change in their life as a high school student. They had added responsibilities, more and farther reaching liberties, new challenges ...successes ... failures, juvelations ... disappointments, and certainly as the days went by the class of '78 gained... both knowledge and experience. From this combination came insight... insight into the realm of Senior High School. Sophomore Sophomores played and important part in both school life and activities as they were active in various clubs, classes, organizations, and sports. Being a part of these activities was a part of being a high school student.

The intelligent Greeks believed that the body should be stren gthened as well as the mind and they reflected this great interest through their Olympic games. It was such a great honor to win the sacred branch of wild olive that often kings competed side by side with commoners ; throwing , boxing, wrestling and running. Athletes still.compete for the honor of the school, for team trophies, individual medals, and letters. They are constantly bettering past records. Perhaps they're driven by the same force as the ancient Greeks to be stronger, jump higher and run swifter than ever before.

There was not much cooperation at the beginning of the events and it slacked off even worse towards the end. I hope that next year there will be more boys and girls interested in the intramural games." Even though the intramurals were scheduled on school nights there was a very good participation. The students formed their teams and put forth their every effort to win with hard, determined spirit. The intramurals turned out to be a very successful group of events tor the boys at THS. 1.

They were a special breed of people with the same desire for freedom, unwilling to settle for second best. So they organized themselves and declared their independence from Britain. They forged a union unlike any other, one that has lasted for 200 years passing the test of time. The signing of the Declaration was the start of something new... a country ... the bonding together of like people. School organizations are representative of this great event in American history, the bonding together of like people. Besides adding flavor and variety to the educational system , clubs provide opportunities for students to s~are their common interests in areas of media ... languages ... science ... sports ... and even teaching in a newly formed FTA club. Through participation in clubs many unions are forged -- unions of friendship between fellow students or teachers that will pass the test of time. 64 65 Pep Club I Vocal Supporters Feelings of loss ... time aft~r. time ... ~agging spirits ... expressions of joy... v1s1ons of victory ... at last... the ultimate...

Pep Club stayed after school Thursday after Thursday, preparing newsprint signs that someone made fun of and others felt should be torn down. More variety in sports and sports offered to girls definitely left its mark on the Pep Club. Many people found it was simply too difficult to attempt a good attendance record with so many games.

Becomi;ig a Gold Emblem chapter at the National FFA Convention sent two members on stage in front of 10,000 people to receive recognition. FFA members had converged from all over America to Kansas City and witnessed the Gold Emblem presentations. It was quite an accomplishment indeed for the chapter. The other big event was winning 8th in the nation in meats team competition. The team won 1st in state and placed extremely well at the national competition. Along with these two big events associated with the National Convention, the chapter sponsored many local activities, one of which was the Barnwarming. Instead of having a band as in some years, the chapter hired Phil Jay, a WHB disc jockey, to play records and MC a show for dancing and entertainment. The Barnwarming also had several contests for prizes. 1.NEW FFA MEMBERS. Row One: Kenny Brewer, Mike Edwards, Mike Sanders, Mark Sa nders, David Cunningham , Steven Ratliff.

Starting off with carryover state and national activities the chapter did well, but then because the quality of the chapter's leadership had dropped from the previous year, local activities suffered somewhat of a backslide. Then as contest time came around, individual members started things buzzing by working and studying on their own. The chapter received nine state farmer degrees, which was more than any other in the state, and three teams representing the Trenton Chapter, received Group l's an placed in the top five competitors at state contests. In speeches made by national and state officers at various FFA functions members were told to set goals, to " be all you can be", to work enthusiastically no matter what the situation. This advice was followed by some, even though the year started off bad ... no float in the parade ... closing down the fair booth halfway through the week.

Sorry I can't make practice tonight... Well, I can't tomorrow ... finally everyone showed up. According to Mr. Hannaford the reason THS had a Porn Pon squad was "to add pagentry to the halftime shows and parades as well as to promote interest." Many conflicts and a sometimes misplaced priority list plagued the THS Porn Pon girls. With a lack of enthusiasm , insufficient practices, and failure of leadership the squad's routines were scratched from the halftime shows. Still another problem was lack of carry over. Not many girls on the squad had had experience in previous years with Porn Pon . Therefore, this caused a great breakdown in leadership and communication. All these hardships resulted in only two performances. But, there had b ee n efforts to organize the Porn Pon's routines . With lack of experience of others. it was hard to meet the expectations 1.

Meaning what? To the FHA'ers of Trenton Senior High School it meant excitement, fun, work and learning. Members of FHA not only learned about themselves and other people, they also enjoyed the opportunity of experiencing moments from out of the past. .. America's 200th Birthday ... Bicentennial Fashion Show... Marilyn Robbin's State Bicentennial Song ... Bicentennial Festival. Since this was the Bicentennial year the high school and junior high worked together on all their projects. Many varying activities were participated in by FHA members. Some of these activities were: a concession stand at the Senior Carnival, the regional meeting, serving at banquets, bakesales, FHA week, Bicentennial Fashion Show, Daddy Date Night, Mother DauQhter Banquet, the Consumerama, and the Bicentennial Arts and Crafts Festival. This year's FHA in-depth project was the Arts and Crafts Festival. Mrs. Rose, sponsor, said, " We raised $647 for the Grundy County Historical Society to be used to renovate the Museum.

Softball instead of Basketball, the Ch ristmas dance turned into a Sadie Hawkins affair, what's going on? GAA has been up-dated to suit the wants and needs of its members. This year the club decided that there had been a lack of interest in GAA Basketball the previous year so they voted Basketball out and tried a new sport, Softball. In past years the GAA Snowball had been an exclusive event tor GAA members and their dates only. Mrs. Wilson commented, "The girls thought it was a nice affair, lots of girls who work would like to belong to GAA." It was the first year GAA had tried making the dance one that any girl and her date were allowed to attend. Playnight this year included more demonstrations of some minor sports such as Cage Ball and Arieal Tennis. There were also routines on the balance beam and parallel bars. One new event was a tree throw shooting contest final. It was a contest only tor girls. Tawny Glidewell won it with the best effort. 1. Members of GAA.

Snow White, Bambi, and Thumper... magic castle ... stars ... candles ... wishing well... "Could It Be Magic?" December 20 marked the night of the Annual Girls' Athletic Association Christmas Ball. As in anything, changes come about, and the GAA members decided to open the event to all girls at THS. This was quite a change from the traditional rule of only admitting the GAA members and their · dates. The group decided that there were a lot of girls who worked or had other activities that prevented them from j oining GAA, so if they opened it to all of them, some would get to attend that before this would not have. Since the band , Ace High , was late, the dance got off to a slow start. It seems that through poor communications they headed to Tipton , Missouri instead of Trenton. A frantic and panicky sponsor, Mrs. Wilson, was faced w ith the decision of whether to wait for the band or to go ahead and start the coronation activities w ith.o ut them. They finally decided to wait , due to the fact that one of the entertainment girls wasn't there yet. The evening was highlighted with the crowning of the Snowball Queen and her attendants. Mistress of Ceremonies, Julie Hill, introduced each of the five sen ior candidates and her escort. The final voting was done at the last meeting , but results were a secret to all until. .. The fourth runner-up is Martha Stuart... the third runne r-up is Cathy Clark ... the second runner-up is Robin Bailey... the first runner-up is Lynn Cole ... and the 1975 GAA Snowball Queen is Miss Theresa Hunsaker! Theresa was crowned by last year's queen , Miss Becky Wimer. The traditional Queen's Dance was played and the band kept the music going the rest of the night.

Student Council executive officers and three chosen representatives began their terms, getting STU CO on the right track, by attending the state convention. There they gained valuable ideas and insights which they carried home for the whole organization. The first event of the year was a picnic at which duties were assigned and future activities discussed. They were then ready to begin the hectic year. Besides standard duties from years past -- flag deta il and the monthly calendar assignment -STUCO began a new one, taking charge of the candy machines. This was done to cut down on expenses which resulted because the supplier had to come and fill the machines. What could be easier, right? WRONG! Sometimes the da ily hastle of filling and refilling the mach ines got to be rather old. And then came the problem of students stealing goods ... tilting the machines forward until more than one package fell off the rod ... littering ... machines closed for a week ... but yet, in the long run, this new job did save money for STUCO. 1. student Counci l Officers.

This was set up to allow more people better use of the library, besides having a more relaxed atmosphere to study in. The qualifications for this were having nothing below an M- and having the approval of 6 of 7 teachers. At first there were many difficulties concerning the FTC, such as: making change for students from the candy machines... the passes being torn or stolen... taking roll with the classroom scattered all over the commons ... but the worst complaint was from the people who didn't make it in the FTC. But this alone did not cover all the activities of the Student Council. Before Christmas, STUCQ gathered gifts and donations and distributed them to some poor families ... doors were returned to the girls' bathrooms ... new ideas of taking care of the candy machines were added... and STU CO, along with FT A, painted some rooms at school, but no matter what they tried, the school lunches stayed the same. 1.

With nearly all of the AJH members supporting their team, merely seven people showed up. Election of officers was postponed bu~ plans were made for the Senior Carnival ... a crepe stand ... French background music... a canopy. At the Carnival, the red and white canopied booth was a nice addition. Yet somehow the pale, frozen crepes couldn 't compete with FHA caramel apples, cookies and brownies -- even when heated and spread with jam ... a dollar profit. In monthly meetings, French Club sang Christmas songs, viewed films of France, studied customs and even put on a dinner in typical French manner at the end of school. 1.

Excuse me please but I'd like to have your attention for a moment," Ptolemy yelled, then silence. Then a shout from off stage from Mrs. Meinders, "That's your line-PICK IT UP!" " I must have been born on a really rotten day!" Randall later added. This year's Senior Play was presented on November 13 and 15 before a moderately large and interested crowd. The 38 cast and crew members acted out the astrologically based play under the direction of Mrs. Peggy Meinders and student director Jerry Moore. The five hour long practice, from seven to midnight, would never be forgotten. But due to the fact that the stage was only available three times before the presentation, long and hard practices were essential. Probably the hardest part was for the cast to wakeup the next morning and drag themselves to school with swollen eyes and yawning mouths. Practices weren't always so terrible though, with " burger and coke" breaks and cute little antics such as the cast members putting microphones up their pant legs! Both of the nights went well even though there were a few mess-ups. Ptolemy helped break the ice when he came on stage after a quick change with his robe caught up in the back under his belt. And of course everyone remembered Yvonne breaking her meter stick in a fit of anger. All in all, the 1975 Senior Play went well and the Senior class was proud of their actors and actresses. Randall Duncan -- " It was a lot of work and we certainly had our problems and mistakes but it was a lot of fun, and that's what's really important. It was a part of h igh school that I'll never forget. 1 thought the play came off pretty well. It was a little hard to understand, probably, but it was a good play. Everyone worked hard to make it a success. Mrs . Meinders and Jerry Moore worked especially hard and had to put up with all of us during practice, which, I know was next to impossible. They deserve recognition. The humor and sincerity of all the cast and crew members made the play unique. It was quite an experience." II 1.

Prom Still Holding On "Holding On To Yesterday" served as the theme for the 1975-76 Junior-Senior Prom. Beginning at 8:00 p.m., the festive evening lasted until 12:00. Flowers ... tuxedos and formals .. pink, yellow, blue, and green... Harrison Blues... candles ... dreams. Preparation for the dance began at the start of the school year and continued as Juniors held project after project to make money. As the date drew near, decorations were purchased , refreshments were lined up, flowers were ordered, and the band was booked. Decorating began bright and early Saturday morning with yawning Juniors stumbling around the commons with their arms full of masking tape, scissors, pastel streamers and crepe paper. Harrison Blues, from Columbia, provided the music for the evening. Opinions on the band ranged from, "They weren't the best I've ever heard, but they were better than MezMer." to "They weren't very good at the beginning , but they got better as the night went on." to " Pretty good." Most couples thought they were good enough that the dance floor was almost constantly busy. While some danced, others sat quietly at candlelit tables, or in the huge white gazebo in the center of the floor. Remembering ...wishing well... rain...

Entertainment for the evening consisted of Elizabeth Cullers accompanying Rex Brick as he sang the theme song, " Holding On To Yesterday". Although the drizzling rain dampened the air a little, the atmosphere was bright and clear. Couples having fun dancing, talking, eating, laughing ... sitting in the swing ... and throwing coins into the wishing well hoping and dreaming about the future. The evening started out with all smiles, but as the night went on, a few of the Senior smiles turned to tears at the thought of this being their last dance at THS. Remembering ... good times ...

They had seen too many fools leap into the air, flap awkward home-made wings and crash to their death. It was unthought of to accept the idea of machines soaring in the sky. Yet despite all this disbelief, Wilbur and Orville kept pursuing their dreams. And thanks to their persistence, yesterday's improbability is today's reality. Like the Wright brothers, the Juniors also have dreams. They are not satisfied to accept present ideas without first testing them. They feel out their limitations, pushing for independence in a variety of forms ... a job... their own set of wheels. In this quest for freedom, they are confused with tomorrow's decisions... college... a career... family. Stretching their wings, they look to the future, anxious to fly. 97 Juniors Juniors Have Style Junior year... middle class ... knew what to expect now... but still another year to go... class rings... SCAT test...prom preparations ... pop bottle dri_ves ... $3 dues... The first thing the juniors of 1975-76 did as a class was to elect a president, Pat McKeehan. Pat, besides· being president, played football and ran track, belonged to AFS and had the toughest job of any class officer; he was in charge of the prom . He had the final responsibility over the money raising, the decorating and all the thousands of headaches involved in putting on a prom. It was his job to organize one of the largest junior classes ever to get that job done. To help him get this job done, Pat appointed two committee chairmen to help in the planning of the prom. These were Greg Cross, chairman of the steering committee, that was concerned with making money, and Art Anderson, chairman of the prom committee, which got the band, the refreshments, and arranged the decorations.

But besides working together as an organized group, the Juniors. exercised their individualities by expressing his or her very own opinion about topics. Talking abou t the most pressing world problems, Rex Brick remarked, " It's the attitude of today's youth." Rhonda Clark thought it was "a lack of understanding."

Dan Sull' . entucky Fried Ch' k rvan rc en for a .I '-- - ..... As a boy, Albert Einstein was often labeled "slow" by teachers who didn't recognize his ability. Because of this, school was a bore! Yet despite his teachers, Einstein had a great interest in mathematics, studied it devoutly and at the age of 14, taught himself geometry and calculus. Later, while working in a patent office, he had time to toy with problems in physics. His hunger for answers led him to develop four of his greatest theories. These theories made possible much of our present lifestyle from atomic energy to television. Like Einstein, most students find certain classes that are very boring to them. Yet, usually some angle of their education sparks an individual interest. Maybe, it's a hunger to know what course of events created the world as it is today, or why certain chemicals react as they do ... how? ... when?... where? Such questions are the driving force that make great minds and new discoveries. 102 103 Faculty Learning Now Teachers all had one thing in common -- they all went through college to become teachers! But beyond the one similarity they varied greatly. Some were devoted to educating. They realized the importance of their contribution to society ... serving as an example... installing values in tomorrow's leaders. These devoted teachers worked at their jobs... preparations... weekly lesson plans ... updated techniques and ideas. All teachers were not like this however. Some were the exact opposite. They left right with the bell and had major interests other than school -family... homelife... sports... coaching. These teachers didn't care about "students" unless they were babysitters or had athletic potential. Falling somewhere between the above descriptions were those faculty members who performed a job only, doing what was necessary to pass evaluations and earn a living. There was a broad spectrum of ideas behind the motivation that made teachers behave the way they did. Good, or bad, the teachers left lasting inpressions on the minds and future lives of the graduates of Trenton High School. 1. Coach Bradley and Mrs. Wilson receive Christmas gifts at the GAA ball. 2.

These activities took time from weekends and weeknights, required extra involvem ent and demanded some decision making on the part of th e sponsor. But th ey were of great value to the students in learning to accept responsibility and work with other people. Extra-curricular activities also offered students a chance to really meet the teachers they saw in class, to throw pies at them even , to laugh with them, to learn why teachers acted the way they did in class and to see school through the teacher's eyes. Much was learned from extra-curricular activities and, wi th the cooperation and help of the faculty, there was a great deal of fun involved in these activities too. 1.

They were all by-products of a new administration! Having three out of five administrative positions vacated in one year was not an every year occurrence, but oddly enough, R-9 was faced with this situation. So, to start their fiscal year, the board of education had to solve this dilema first. Ricker. Mr. Ricker had previously taught, served as principal and worked in administration in Illinois 14 years before moving to Trenton . He was raised in Shelbina, Missouri and obtained a B.S. and Master's degree from NMSC. Dennis Lea, a former coach and teacher from St. Louis, (taking the place of Mike Dennis), started off his year as principal of THS by laying down rules and expectations in the first day assembly ... reinforcement of hall passes ... no smoking -- TO BE ENFORCED ... no loitering in halls, parking lot, or outside of building ... teachers .escort students to and from lunch -- to prevent wandering in halls ... be responsible ... mature... cooperate ... it'll be a fine year. Though many of the new regulations were labeled by discontented students as "unnec essary red tape '', they worked to effectively reduce smoking in the restrooms and skipping classes. 1 In exchange for teaching industrial arts, George Rentfrow took the job of counselor left open by Gerald Gooch. As counselor he was kept busy juggling schedules... testing... advising Seniors about college. Changes in school policy created a censored newspaper... " in school" suspension ... MASTERTEACHER plan - - every teacher handle their own problems ... absence and make-up work. Students weren't the only ones adjusting. Faculty members, and of course, administrators themselves had to conform to the different rules. 1. M r. Lea tells the teac h ers to dism iss students for an assembl y. 2. M r.

Many viewed the movie "JAWS" ... enjoyed reading ... hunting ... spending time with the family ... working on crafts ... fixing up an old house ... coaching basketball. .. refereeing. But still there were jobs to be attended to -administrative decisions to make. Such decisions included the possibility of getting new buses and increasing the number of counselors at the high school for the 76-77 school year. The board of education and administrators worked many late nights ironing out various problems ... working around a budget deficit... solving discipline problems... calming upset parents ... endless hassles... headaches. 1.

But the classes we had went beyond the knowledge we acquired. They had a large influence on our life for seven hours a day, five days a week. They often dictated our disposition, what clothes we wore, and the friends we met and got to know. Our classes helped shape our personalities and our behavior. And there was always the feeling of unity in going through the same thing with your classmates. From the closeness of the Physics class to the long hours and arguments in Journalism, our classes were an important part of our life at THS. . . new face this year in the l~du s t ri a l 1 Mr Kenneth Wilson is a . tiered for the fi rst tim e as a I 2 Debate IS 0 h . .

Most of them were surprised that classes required that much work. Students found that they needed some talent and certainly a great amount of interest to tackle any of the fine art classes. One thing was for sure, they were not the " breeze" lots of students thought they were. THS band was not the best in the conference , but a lot of hard work and many hours of practice went into preparing for performances. It took a lot of courage to take Glee Club because the students' voices had to blend. If students not in Art, passed the class and saw a " death mask" they wondered what it was. Or they might have been cur ious about what the students were doing with all that string. String art was soon produced and all saw the results. 9 1.

It could be that their purpose is to prepare students for their future careers. As in any class certain fundamentals must be learned before advancing. Students cannot always learn without experience and neither can teachers. What about the tractor safety class? When Mr. Dannull wrecked the tractor it was a learning experience for the class as well as for himself. Other teachers developed their own way of .Presenting fundamentals. The Drivers Ed class memorized the braking distance chart and Mr. Ricono warned them to just believe the chart. However, some students couldn't resist trying to set a new record. And Mr. Ricono soon found this out when trees and mailboxes almost sideswiped the Drivers Ed ca r. This year a new agricultural work program was developed. Agricultural Occupational Experience gave seniors a chance to work on a farm or with farm-related opportunities. But practical arts not only dealt with the classroom, but with job experience as well. DECA placed many students in future oriented jobs. It not only gave them a job for now, but useful experience for later. 1. Mr. B rassfie ld talks with a DECA student in the hall. 2.

Learning a foreign language was like first beginning to walk ... First a word or two were learned , then sentences, paragraphs, and fairly soon translating and understanding was much easier than before. As always, walking must be achieved before running. Why were foreign languages necessary? The truth is -- they weren't, especially if students didn't plan to travel -- Oh, not to Europe, just to Canada or Mexico, and if students didn 't intend to meet other people , just stay walled up in a shell inside. Evidently many students at THS found it worthwhile to understand and learn a different language than their own. Who knows, we may all grow up to be chefs in France or bullfighters in Mexico and at least a few will be ready. 1. M iss Patti N ich o ls lectures to her French I class. 2.

Classes sticking to the more classical forms of English were again offered at THS. Many other schools have been known to have a problem of interesting students in these classes, but obviously this was not the case here. Students enrolled on their own in such classes as English and American Literature, since they are no longer required by the State of Missouri for graduation. Most students found it necessary and even enjoyable to have some knowledge of the classes in literature. / 1. Amy McAllister, Linda Pickell and Sara Jansma work on a theme in Mr. Seaman's class. 2.

This opportunity to observe the police in action helped students to have a stronger appreciation for the service the police perform.

It was definitely one of America's biggest accomplishments. Though this historic first journey marked the climax of decades of research and exploration, it did not spell the end. Instead it was a beginning for more and better discoveries in the field of space study. As Armstrong realized the significance of his stepping from a lunar ladder to the dusty surface of the moon, Seniors realize the importance of graduation ... the summing up of not just one year, but twelve years of being educated to fit into society's pattern ... a giant leap in their lives from maturing student to responsible adult. Though graduation is a long awaited climax , it is also the opening of new doors... either leading to further education or directly into business and the world. Seniors A Special Year? Senior year was supposed to be special in many ways ... :.m t was it? The Seniors had sever.al class meetings throughout the year and one thing was made certain, it took forever to reach a decision. The class was totally divided. This made it all seem as though few of us hardly knew that we were Seniors. But once decisions were made they worked out fairly well. Especially when it came time to show spirit the week of Courtwarming , not only did the seniors win the competition between classes, but they also won a little more respect for their school, and themselves. The class of 1976 watched themselves mature as the year progressed. During the first of the year when the class tried to fulfill its duties, a specific group represented the entire class. The others were in protest to the administration or just didn't care. Then this group that tried to fulfill the Senior class' duties grew in number. Time was a great benefit to the Seniors of 1976 for with time they experienced the true meaning of life. That not all the goals you set are in bounds, but with a little patience and determination, what was once a dream becomes a reality.

As your mind flashes back to the good times a certain fragment lingers a little too long, the fact that it's your Senior year, your final year in high school , the year you have been waiting for. Remember the Senior Play, how Ptolemy's robe got caught, and the awful sitar music. A football record of losing , losing , and losing , but still you kept right on doing your wind sprints in spite of all this. The messages over the intercom that always interrupted class just when you were beginning to understand. And what about taking your little yellow slip to every class? Another memory that must have remained in the Senior's minds was the winning Senior volleyball team . Although THS had few other undefeated teams, the Seniors proved that they had the ability, once again , to gain another trophy. So possibly when we took a second look the Senior class didn 't have as many downfalls as it had once seemed. Through an indepth maturing process, changes came about in the Senior class. Friends that you had known since grade school were suddenly seen in a different perspective. And the halls of THS changed with your vi ews. There were differences, and there were discrepancies, but when it got right down to the line the Seniors of 1976 knew what had to be done, and they did their best to do it.

New administration came to THS in a big way and some of the things they brought with them were alterations in the school system. No outside doors on the bathrooms, a crack-down on hall passes, enforcement of expellsion for second offense smokers, teachers taking students to and from the Commons at lunch time, intercom announcements the last three minutes of the class period, administrative censorship of the newspaper, and eleven o'clock news releases. When the rules were first issued there was quite a rejection throughout the student body's minds. But as time progressed the Senior class, as well as the lower-classmen, saw that many of these regulations proved beneficial. For the first time the Senior class truly saw what the bathrooms at THS looked like, without being engulfed by a fog of cigarette smoke. But what was the Senior class' reaction to the crackdown? Once again the class was divided in their actions, but each division had its own way of showing their opinion. One group even went as far as to wear their feelings. All the Seniors felt above anchored salt and pepper shake rs, but after the griping died down, nothing more was done about it. The fee lings of imprisonment sti ll lingered in some Seniors though . Not all of the Seniors saw 1976 as their best year. But several upper-classmen made sure that THS would not forget the Seniors of 1976.

Have you ever thought how THS will be ~ext year w_ithout you? Will th e school stay just as it rs? So that tf you happened to walk into a class that you had had before, would it be the same as if you had never left. All Seniors consider these thoughts. Thoughts such as, did I have any effect onTHS or was I just another Senior in a crowd? Could I have possib ly been differe_nt? Everyone wanted to be special. but as th e Seniors of 1976 look back wil l they fee l · useless or unique? When you try to remember all the good times, tears fill your eyes. Not because you are sad, but because you are happy. You remember your freshman year, the first year your entire class was together. A smile widens on your face when you think of Jeff Brown locking Mrs. Trickle out of the Science room. You see Spanish class at Adams and the boys tying flies to a string. Then your Sophomore year in Mass Med ia and Jim Bowe's Lifebouy commercial. Or what about the time Mr. Gallagher. let the white mice loose in his classroom to prove that girls are afraid of mice. And who could forget the time Mr. Adamson shot a pistol in class and scared everyone to death. Can't you still see the lunchroom when peaches were on the menu and the boys would hold contests to see who cou ld eat the largest number of whole peaches, without getting sick? When you remember back to THS and the good times the class of 1976 shared surely these will be amo ng some of them. Row one: Gary Watkins. Rhond_a Watson. Kelly Weaver. Ti.m Wh ita ker, Jim Whitley.

In grade school, friends were people to play with at recess, invite to a birthday party, and stay all night with. The girl in the first row provoked jealousy, because she had a pretty ponytail, could read well, and had a new bicycle. A "best" friend would last forever. But now, the realization comes that friends can drift apart for no reason, that jealous isn't needed for the girl in the front row, and that there's more to friendship than going to birthday parties.

A part of their life was ending and now decisions had to be made. But for the underclassmen, each day was eagerly chalked off the calender in anticipation of free summer days. Of course, there were goals to be achieved in the far off future, high hopes and plans to be carried out. But as the last few days of "Trenton High School 1975-76" ticked away, that driving, striving spirit within the individual sought no more than rest -- and the close of school seemed a fine achievement. ,, ' 16 23 I •• 148 149 One by one the days passed, bringing a change of seasons from fall through winter to spring. The arrival of spring brought warmer days and greener grass and made a seven hour school day last 12 hours. As classes grew increasingly boring, grades tended to drop. But most of the people didn't care because the end of school was near.
