The 77-78 school year
was good for some and
disastrous for others.
Students were greeted
with a "tough, new disci–
pline policy" in Septem–
ber. It included defini–
tions and classifications
of offenses and their
punishments. ln-build–
ing-suspension, better
known as IBS, was an
important part of this
policy. Headlines in the
Evening Press read,
"With school rules clear,
harmony returns to CV"
and "Harmony reigns
again at CV."
This was also a year of
sports. The TC Jets were
undefeated with a record
of 12-0. The CV Varsity
football team showed
Vestal that last year's
win was no accident with
a 12-8 victory this year.
THIS WAS A YEAR
Soccer was added to the
curriculum. The Yankees
won their 1OOth World
Series game on the way
to a World Series victory
over Los Angeles. The
Dallas Cowboys won the
Superbowl.
Socially, The Grateful
Dead, Jethro Tull, Fleet–
wood Mac, Heart, Blue
Oyster Cult, and The
Gong
Roadshow
appeared at the Veter–
an's Memorial Arena.
This year's big movies
were
Star Wars
and
Rocky,
ldi Amin con–
ducted a reign of terror,
the Concorde swooped
down on New York City,
and the nation's coal
workers went on strike.
All of these events
helped shape the school
year. This was really a
year!
