in Student Life There Is Strength In Numbers Student life was more than a date, a dance, or just getting together with friends. It simply involved having fun and en- joying the many op- portunities our school had to offer. The number of happen- ings seemed to multi- ply almost as fast as the number of stu- dents, allowing for in- dividual students to seek out their own unique interests. School activities acted as the main fo- cus for a variety of social events. Sport- ing rallies snared the attention of students throughout the year with Friday night games acting as a lead-in for an exciting weekend. Pep rallies, spirit days, school dances, and drama performances of- fered creative occa- sions in which stu- dents could freely express their emo- copy cont. on pg 8B Sophomore Melissa Botson, senior Trey Lacy, and junior Paul Valichnac spend a (ew moments talking about the latest activities.

v-m In numbers we found strength . .. and in numbers we encountered the problems associated with be- ing a large school. Over 400 new students moved into the Dobson district, many who were unaware of what to expect. To accommodate the increase in enrollment, 27 new teachers were hired. Easing some of the crow- dedness in the main building , por- table buildings housed more than 500 students per period. A short- age of lockers also hampered stu- dents, along with lack of available parking places. The start of school also brought about events which served as sym- bols of our ability to work together for the benefit of all. Through compromise, overall problems dwindled, and the large numbers united and allowed the many talented students to trans- form from diverse individuals into a strong student body.
