Students and facut face changes Nothing stays the same, and this was especially noticeable when school o ened for the 77-78 year. One change obvious right away was the increased student body. The halls were so crowded that you had to fight your-way to class, said Mike Daine. Looking through the crowds up- stairs, many people wondered what had happened to the library. The outside walls had been taken down and put up again in the smaller reading room. The reason given for the change was the fact that stu- dents liked to sit on the shelves, bending them. Also, the books were in easy reach of people walking by in the halls. Mrs. Judy Voran, a librarian, said, The shelves and books were getting ruined, we just think it's etter this way. Sports fans noted many changes for the better. The bleachers had been painted in the school's red and gold, and there was a new sup- ly room. In the gym, the basket- ball team had a new center court outlined in red and gold to play on. Tennis players were hap y to see the new court lights so they could play in the cooler nights. There were lots of new faces, not only new students but new teach- ers and two new assistant princi- pals. Mr. Ralph Bradshaw replaced Mr. Les Hurst, who was transfered, and Mr. H.D. Buckley took Dr. john Bruscemi's place, who left to take a professorship of secondary education at the University of Texas in Austin. Along with school starting at 7:45 and recessing at 2:15, block sched- uling was a major change in the school day. Mrs. Gina Trimble said, lt was a good idea to try this ex- periment, especially for the lab courses, but it's really hard to sit through two hours of math at once. Despite the surface changes, Chaparral stayed true to its open and friendly atmosphere. 'l8fLlving

Forty-seven candidates run for office Signs posted all over the school, campaign buttons pinned on ever - body's clothes, and students walk- ing around in sandwich boards to promote candidates were some proipaganda devices seen during stu ent election week. Slogans like, Swing with lane, Vote for Wolf, and you'll have a howling time, lf vou're on the level, vote for the devil, Think Bill Kurtz and you've thought enough, and many others were some of the thought-up slogans. Competition was heavy with 47 candidates running for offices, most of them had little running ex- perience. Kim Crockett expressed er view on why there were so many candidates, I think it's either they want to get involved with the school or they want to see something get done, and the best way to get things done is to be there and help get it done! Bringing a week of excitement to a close, an assembly in the stadium gave students a last chance to re- view the candidates and make their final choices. Finally, ballots were marked, determining the following results: Bill Kurtz, President, Rhetta Ro- mero, Vice-President, Susie Wolf, Secretary and Meredith Wilson, Treasurer. 20fLlving
