A Year of Progressing Mother Nature just couldn ' t make up her mind. As the South Baldwin Red Cross Chapter opened the elementary school for a shelter for the second time in only three days, Hurricane Elena made her way toward the Gulf Coast. During the early morning hours of September 1 , she made her Impact. The threat of the storm on August 30 had already delayed the Foley-Atmore season opener and postponed the first day of school from September 3 to Sep- tember 4. With school scheduled to be- gin after Labor Day, students had looked forward to a seven-day extension of summer vacation. But did they really want another extra day due to the threat of a hurricane? Well, it wasn ' t up to the individuals and after the second threat, students received an additional day — not arriving back until September 5. As Elena flooded the coast, 2725 stu- dents from surrounding communities flooded the campuses, causing them to become a tad overcrowded. Incoming ninth and tenth graders from Elberta and Summerdale boosted the enrollment by approximately 250, but the simultaneous opening of the sev- enth and eighth grades at Gulf Shores Public School put a slight dent into the growing population. As a result of the overflow, two lunch periods were created at the high school. In addition, several high school classes moved into elementary classrooms, causing the sixth grade to become part of the middle school campus. While students adjusted to the cam- pus life, they discovered the ordinary and began improving it. Whether it was attending a football game or becoming familiar with three foreign exchange stu- dents, it was a year of taking the usual and enhancing it. On Friday evenings, football fans en- joyed stacking up victories as Coach Lester Smith, one of the top fifteen coaches in the state, led the Lions to a playoff berth. As opposed to the 0-3 start of the previous year, the Lions crushed their first three opponents to begin the season with a 3-0 record. On the edge of town, area growth boomed as Burger King, Crispy Chick, Kentucky Fried Chicken, and Wal-Mart joined the community industry. Catering to the public ' s diverse tastes, the fast food joints put students ' tastebuds into action. i?l j ? ' .Z)3 5 ? 5l« 2 2 Doing More — Doing It Better
