Zhrough the noise, cyesarzs, and bows an thc ufalL We Hdufgd Clink, Clank, rrrummble, CRASH! One might think those are strange sounds to hear in an English or math class, but for many students those were just a few of the daily interruptions heard in class. Ordinarily the sounds of jack- hammers and tractors are kept to construction sites, 1985-86 was not different. Plans for a new gymnasium, art wing, and music- drama room and renovation to the auditorium had been ap- proved by the school board late in the 1984-85 school year. With the approval, construction crews began digging at five separate sites around the school following the completion of the 1984-85 school year. Phase 1 consisted of the re- placement of the school's two old boilers with a new, more effi- cient one, the removal of all as- bestos from beneath the school, and the reinsulation of old pipes. Phase 1 had been scheduled to be completed by mid to late No- vember, but due to unexpected heavy snows and cold tempera- tures, it wasn't finished until late December.

Needless to say, reactions were mixed, l couldn't care less, said junior Steve Brelsford l'm not even going to be in school anyway, why would I need to get into my locker? The last major asbestos re- moval project was planned for the auditorium and wasn't sched- uled to be finished until late Feb- ruary or early March. Unfortu- nately this hindered practice for the spring musical and even threatened to postpone the show it not completed on time. I don't mind that they're removing the asbestos, I just don't like how they planned it so that it inter- feres with the production of West Side Story, said junior Christine Zalesky. Despite the minor inconven- iences like eviction notices and noisy interruption in class, the school, its students and teachers alike, survived. After all, The noise and piles of dirt and asbes- tos meters in the halls were all worth it for a whole new section of the school, said history teacher Mrs. Foster. - By Chris Gallegos
