To everything there is a season and a time to every purpose under heaven."
A time to be enthusiastic at pep assemblies and other functions that generate spirit.
A time to incorporate new ideas, like showing movies at Regalia Ball and initiating Student Corps.
A time to take advantage of opportunities like the activity period and a chance to avoid final exams.
A time to be involved in clubs, sports and other activities that round out an education.
A time to be responsible, adopting to the no-bell system and using independent study booths.
A time to feel relaxed when talking to teachers and administrators who used to seem distant and impersonal.
A time to be well acquainted with Groves.
A time to be the first Senior Class to witness Groves' defeat of Seaholm in football.
A time to start applying to college.
A time to look forward to making new friends.
Finally, a time to reach graduation.

In addition to Denny McLain Night, the band marched to his house
and played music during 4th hour.

Interesting Memory:  During Denny McLain Night, as Band Historian, I remember asking Denny McLain for his autograph so that I could put it into the Groves Band Scrapbook.  At first he tried to brush me off.  Then with much resistance, he grudgingly complied. Here I was in my band uniform, we had just finished performing a concert for him, and that how he treated a band member!  I guess it's true: "What goes around, comes around."  By the way, I have no idea where the autograph or scrapbook ended up.
