However, this year, WE, THE CLASS OF 1978, DEDICATE THE YEAR- BOOK TO A FRIEND OF OURS, KIRSTEN UG- GERBY, who helped many of us through just by being there. As you all know, Kirsten died Novem- ber 27, 1977. She was seventeen years old. Seven- teen is an especially tough time for anyone— you're just about over all the problems of growing up, and your whole life is opening up. Kirsten unfor- tunately was not able to do all the things she had planned for her life, but she did accomplish one very important thing that few people ever manage: she made a lot of people happy. Thank you, Kir- sten. We'll miss you. The Guardian Spirit of Uni Talks: At 7:00, 1 stand proudly among the other buildings, my halls silent and undisturbed. Then crowds, strangely attracted to me, despite my age, commence to invade my once-tranquil structure to perform their daily rituals. At 8:00, the masses attend their scheduled seminars. This is my autobiography. I am . . . UNIVERSITY HIGH SCHOOL. At 8:30, Seniors arrive even though they have a first hour class. I try to scold them, but they don't listen, I guess it's true, the youth of today has lost their respect for the youth of yesterday. For example, they write on my walls, and just last year I was forced to undergo an expensive opera- tion—a phone transplant. During first and second periods, students learn vital infor- mation necessary for their future life, such as, how to recog- nize a member of the opposite sex ; or the velocity of a 5 lb. metallic sphere ejected from a train traveling from New York to New Orleans at a uniform speed of 100 mph, 30 seconds after daybreak at an angle of 43.205 degrees on a day with a 39 mile gust north to northeast. During the morning free period, students are finishing homework due last period, studying for a test next period, playing four-square, or skipping their apathy club meeting. One disadvantage my students have this year is the absence of my delicate jukebox which used to blast throughout my hallways such all-time favorites as "Disco Duck", Theme from SWAT, "Dead Skunk in the Middle of the road", and "That's the way I want to shake your boogie man". It seems to me that five minutes is not nearly enough time for my kids to run to the other side of me! At lunchtime, there are various meetings, messy halls and lounge, and noisy subs tearing up and down my hallways- giving me indigestion. "Be courteous, kind, and forgiving. Be gentle and peaceful each day "Be warm and human and grateful. And have a good thing to say . . 'Be thoughtful and trustful and childlike. Be witty and happy and wise . . . "Be honest and love all your neighbors. Be obsequious, purple, and clairvoyant . . . "Criticize things you don't know about. Be oblong and have your knees removed . . Due to the brilliant planning of the program coordinators, PE is directly after lunch, along with 282's, upset stomachs, headaches, and flaring tempers. Many of my enterprising stu- dents avoid this by not going to PE at all. I, of course, disap- prove of this, although I do sympathize with them. Back within my halls at this time, however, are athletes who have earned their excused absences from PE and are taking advantage of this. Eighth hour arrives, and I am blessed by angelic sounds in the attic, among other things, like screeches and squeals from freshman girls in the lounge. But soon the day is over and af- ter the janitors make their rounds, my halls are once again peaceful and clean. 'Put a live chicken in your underwear. Get all excited and go to a yawning festival." Steve Martin 1 "I'm sorry, the number you have reached is not in woiKing order a* this time . . ."

Madrigals walked the halls, singing their fa la la's, and merrily led the rest of the school into the gym.

CLASS OF '78 Wisdom is the principal thing: therefore get wisdom: and with thy getting get understanding. Prov. 4:7 CLASS HISTORY FORM I We arrive at Uni: a mix-matched group of creative "intellectuals" and are expected to discover the secrets of the universe the natural way, through a program called Form I. We are told that the main activity as a Formie is to do projects. We all attempt projects, then give up. Some Formies break every typewriter they can lay their hands on. We all get on people's nerves. Cards, pinball, and 4-square are new types of projects. Lippold leaves and comes back. Everyone wonders who Gad Meir is. We lost several rats, built Mouse Mansion, Hampster Town, etc. Triplett and Dennis don't know any more than we do. Claire and Marie haunt the vents and appall the librarians. Lippold's last projectis raking leaves into a box and calling it a leaf collection. We don't have a lot to say about Form I year— most of us have tried our best to forget it. FRESHMEN This year we start going to classes. Alison, Gerhard, and Deidre join us. Doug leaves. We win our last basketball game. Claire becomes CM. Swahili. Mr. Jolly teaches us about pica-fumi, then returns to Mississippi. Alison counts paramecia. Lippold becomes a spazz. Raisin kicking becomes a favorite pastime. Nancy asks what a narc is. Several students destroy desks made by the subs. Mark Zvilius and Frau Wachs get together. Half of us are Form II and half of us are normal. Robert falls madly in love with Miss McCoy. We are subject to Tadleman (we love you, coach) and Avallone (awboloney). The legend of Super Babs appears on every blackboard in the school. Jimmy falls in love with his student teacher, Nancy. SOPHOMORES We are again divided into two groups Sophomore year, the smart class and the dumb class. Our teachers try to tell us that the class was divided by picking names out of a hat but then the smart class found out that they really were smarter ("Does the wind blow?") Anne leaves. BO spaces out. Deidre falls in love with Andy A. and they are the only couple who obediently follow P.D.A. rules. Marie gets a haircut. Mrs. Gordon kicks Lindsay out of class every day. Thomas gives his first Raven speech. Social Studies dep't motto— Lay your base and hang it up. Lindsay never has any books to call his own. We have Miss Leppert for Social Studies (enough said). Linda writes "jokes" on the blackboard. Lindsay and Richard dress up as Spock. Stephen finally says something. Laurel and Deidre start a floating date. 80 JUNIORS After Sophomore year, we look forward to studying long hours for ACTs and SATs. That is, some of us do. We have a new vice principal, Al Davidian, alias "Jaws", who is definetly on our side. Deidre gets her brace off. Laurel and Tom leave for l h year, Dave and Jill leave after Vi year. Mike and Dave get gagged in U.S. History, but to no avail. We see a new Mrs. Hoag (I.E. we see a little less of her). At this year's Theatre Festival we all give each other backrubs. Linda continues to write "jokes" on the blackboard. Marie's latent cheerleading talent comes out. Claire cuts Richie's hair in the first floor hall; Jaws gets a clip for 25 c/. Thomas tries his Raven speech again. Gerhard amuses us to tears with Newfie jokes. Everyone turns into rats, thanks to Art. Mr. Royer gets mad about students smoking pot in the school, until he finds that the faculty has been doing the same thing. The Fire Marshall visits every other day. Lippold exposes himself at the Westfield game. Richie and Lindsay eat Cap'n Crunch in the lounge and send the fire trucks to Jaws. A few of us suffer from Jockitch, and C-R-U-E-X is no help. All the male teachers have babies except George. During Agora Week, the Lake Geneva group steals a toilet and brings it back to an honored space in the lounge. Also during Agora Week, several students get literally blown away on the Chicago Trip. Tsuma (lightningbolt) bounces students through Physics. (Ya?)- Linda joins Lippold as a SPAZZZ. Marie is plagued by Senior guys. David is student council president. BO stays spaced out. Mr. Rogers introduces us to value analysis models. Soon after- wards, God drops a tree on his house. SENIORS Finally! Jason is student council president, and we have no more cares or worries. Tom returns as Lindsay leaves. Lindsay becomes fink-rat. Dov comes to English once a year. Amanda is a potty mouth. Everyone does note cards the day before they're due. David, after visiting the Senate, falls in love with Ronald Reagan, and turns completely conservative. At this year's Theatre Festival, Alison, Linda, Claire, and Amanda share a room with everyone. On our way to a chess and basketball world record. Linda writes Herbie poems on the blackboard. Peter becomes a Plato terminal, falls in love with an onion, then eats it. Jimmy captains the basketball team. Jimmy hustles. Alison limps around. Paul and Art have a New Year's party. Nancy is a hyperturkey. Deidre gets a haircut. There is a fire in the girl's lounge, and no one knows who started it. Mark is a dummy, then Nancy is a dummy. Paul goes down the building. Robert joins the basketball team, and starts, too! The girls get thrown out of the girl's lounge, out of DCL, and finally out of CERL. A few unfortunates get Disman for a PE teacher, and Claire flunks because of her attitude. Why does Mark stay out of the Lounge? Mary & Jane get constantly busted while Alison stands by and laughs. Art leaves us. So, nearing the end of Senior year, most of us feel both good and bad about leaving Uni and going off to college, or not going off to college. What Uni has done for us, we don't really know. But any way, Good-by, Uni, and good luck. Class of Seventy-Eight 81 Have a "STREAKIN" Good Time At BASKIN BOBBINS t «23 E.
