    The SHHS event best known as
    Hollowstock!
    ______
    It started back in 1972, when the new
    principal, Dr. Di Palermo, proposed a
    one-or-two day alternative festival: to
    occur late in the spring, when most
    sports were over, and students had
    nothing much to bring them together.
    The event--dubbed either Joy Day or
    Days--was to continue through 1978.
    _____
    Soon after the event had finished for a
    particular school year, students were
    encouraged to start settling down for
    finals. But by the end of the 1970s, Joy
    Days had gotten a little too wild, even
    for Dr. Di Palermo's tastes. Reportedly,
    one teacher annually discussed betting
    "odds" with students. Also, too many
    students were simply skipping the
    event, as attendance was never taken.
    _____
    Thus, it formally came to an end. In
    the 1980s. however, something similar
    (dubbed Hollowstock) followed, after
    a change in principals. For certain
    of these 1980s events, the campus
    remained the setting. Other years,
    Hollowstock was held out on the
    football field (as pictured at the top).
