Whirligig Reflects GHS
From Varied Viewpoints
Festive was the mood May 3 as
students moved expectantly to
homerooms. What else but the
1973 WHIRLIGIG, dramatically
backed in black, centered with a
full color nostalgic shot of the
main building, awaited them!
“Point of View,” the theme for
the year chosen from several
others suggested in staff meetings
last spring, appealed to the staff
as one that would be easy to
work with for presenting the
story of the year.
According to Miss Powell, the
staff tried to show what our
school life is like from as many
points of view as possible. “We
tried to learn, by interviewing
;rarious student sand a few facul-
y members, what their specific
new is on one or another area
of school life and problems young
people face,” she said.
‘In many ways, we tried to
jring in problems and movements
—political or social—^that sur-
ound young people today,” Miss
’owell continued
In the opening section direct
luotations were used—some from
itudents, others from well-known
vriters — as running heads to
dentify subject matter on two-
)age spreads. In the senior sec-
ion direct quotations were used

As to dedication, the staff chose
this year not to dedicate the book
to any individual, preferring to
concentrate the reader’s attention
immediately on students and the
world they inhabit.
Cover design was planned and
agreed upon by editors and ad
visor, and no other staff mem
bers had any idea of the color
