The 1984-85 school year brought many changes to the East Noble system. The most controversial of these changes was definitely the drop from five to four minutes in passing time. This presented a drastic inconvenience for upperclassmen who found it difficult to make it to class on time. The freshmen weren ' t as bothered because they didn ' t know any better! Another change that tended to make the seniors irate was the discontinuation of special status. There were no exceptions to this rule. A change that was obvious to all was the school day beginning at 7:55 instead of the customary 8:00 a.m. Along with every year comes new teach- ers. This year there were eight, and also a new administrator. The teachers were: Lisa Hutchison, English; Kurt Bullock. Publications English; Pamela Rodriguez, French English; Mark Cockroft, Business, Sheryl Younger, Science Geometry, Dave Walton, Agriculture, Sharon Blackford, Special Education; and Judy Behee, math. At the Central Office, Bob Grau replaced Mike LeConte. The program Blackford was responsible for in special education (tycMyte was working with autistic teenagers, this being new to East Noble, also. Along with the new teachers came new additions to the coaching staff. Younger became the junior varsity swim coach, Cockroft served as an assistant football coach along with Dave Moyer, Dick Bentz assumed girls ' golf coaching duties, and Mike Pasquali, a Kendallville Central teach- er, was assistant boys ' tennis coach and boys ' varsity golf coach. As in previous years, the honors art students painted a mural. This year ' s students represented all East Noble sports on the wall near the old gym, portraying an athlete from each sport in action. This year, for the first time, six Apple HE computers were available for free stu- dent access. Four of these were stationed permanently in the library, and the other two were distributed between the math and science departments. The changes that have occured this year were apparent. The students adapted well, considering one-quarter were seniors and pretty well set in their ways. Right: As a result of the shortened mod breaks, the halls represented four minutes of mass confusion. Below. Kurt Bullock the publications advisor, dispenses his vast knowledge.

@ArfcOte«t 76eatnc Children ' s Theatre was a collection of six Grimm Brothers ' fairy tales called Story Theatre. These comic stories, enjoyed by young and old alike, were: The Fisherman and His Wife, The Golden Goose, Jack and the Beanstalk, The Brementown Musicians, The Little Peasant, and The Old Goose Woman. The show was perfor- med October 18-20. Also, selections were presented to a Thespian Festival in India- napolis on October 27. Children of a Lesser God was presented for Evening of Theatre, the annual non- musical production under the direction of Bob Avery. The play is set in a home for the deaf, at which the lead female resides and the lead male teaches. These roles were portrayed by seniors Jill Pattee and Thorn Barker, veterans of Evening of Theatre. Pattee and Barker spent the fall semester months learning sign language proficiently. Their teacher was a deaf East Noble alum- nus, Sherlee Williams. Avery and the cast agreed that the show wouldn ' t have been possible without her assistance. Williams also served as on-stage interpreter of the spoken lines for the deaf members of the audience. The production was a great success. By popular demand, two extra showings were added to the orignal three production dates. Above.
