COOL, MAN - Pioneer high student Jenny Dyer shows how it was done in the 50s with saddle shoes, rolled up jeans, bubble gum and a varsity sweater, vintage 1951. Jenny was celebrating Pioneer's homecoming week on dress-up day, with a 50s theme. Both students and teachers appeared in duck tail haircuts, poodle skirts with crinoline petticoats underneath, beanie hats, pearls and pony tails. Martha Graham, assistant principal, said over a third of the students participated and it was a "fantastic display." (Staff photo by Robert Chase)

The Marines are all Vietnam veterans and experts in survival training. From left are S/Sgt. Byron Tapp, Larry Gable, Ron Coon (standing), Rick Bolhouse, Pete Schneeberger (standing), Bob Cooper, John Sonntag, Dave Haaxman and Sgt. B. J. Melvin.
