"I've been going to school with some of
these people since elementary. I'll miss some of
them, but it'll be great to meet some new peo-
ple at college," Mechelle Smith said, summing
up the thoughts of the ready-to-graduate
seniors. However, the students realized they had
lived closely in the microcosm formed by
school and had learned to get along, a lesson in
itself. The freshmen exhibited more enthusiasm
for school as Brenda Henderson commented,
"High school is great; so many people to get to
know."
After being made an official part of Sterling
life during the Howdy Dance, the freshmen
seemed to fit right into the microcosm. From
then on, the world ran smoothly as indicated by
the few number of fights. "There were only six
reported fights among seniors. There were a few
more in the underclasses, but all-in-all there
were very few," Mr. Frank Hutchins reported,
going into the final six weeks.
Along with the 2,314 students, 13 new
teachers were added to bring the total of
workers, including the administration through
the custodians, to 191.
The population of 2,505 in the world within
the walls of Sterling proved their compatability
as they pulled together to comfort the friends
and family of Pete Belknap, a sophomore who
lost his life in a bullriding accident, and Mr. Bill
Sharp, the construction trades teacher who lost
a long battle with cancer.
