STUDENTS OVER COME Loss OE: CLASSROOMS AND SUPPLIES As students walked through various entrances it was obvious that enroll- ment had increased considerably. We found ourselves walking in back to back crowds, waiting to get from one end of the hall to another. The ad- ministration implimented the use of one way halls to try to alleviate the problem. Eventually each student de- vised his own plan to get to class and the one way system faded out. Throughout the year Garland High experienced several minor fires. They consisted of an electrical short caused by a squirrel climbing through the ceiling tile and a small fire in the cafeteria air conditioning ducts. Each time students were asked Opening to evacuate the building. However, never before had any school in this district experienced anything like the blaze that raged through the admin- istration and vocational wings just two days after Thanksgiving. Thus, once again students were sub- jected to inconvenience, thanks to the delinquency of four teenage ar- sonists. Students returned after the Thanksgiving holidays to see city work trucks, cleaning crews, report- ers, and all the remnants of an early Sunday morning fire. Crews of workmen had worked all through the night to try to repair what was neces- sary to hold classes Monday morn- ing. Students cooperated with all that was asked of them. They willingly emp- tied their lockers so that cleaning crews could salvage as many of the soot covered school books as possi- ble. New bell schedules were devised and students were forced to sacrifice their break time so the system could work out. Once again the students and faculty were able to overcome an obstacle. All this could not have been achieved had everyone not been will- ing to cooperate. Only by Pulling Together we can overcome any ob- stacle. That is the spirit that em- bodies Garland High and all the gen- erations who have walked through its doors.

WON SPIRIT STEM5 PROM PAR TICIPATIO icontinued from page 25 Spirit is something that can only be acheived by a team as a whole. To- gether we have always maintained that special ingredient that it takes to keep a school alive. The bellguards, drill team, cheer- leaders, and band are not the only groups or clubs that promote spirit. They are merely leaders. Spirit is a part of the Key Club members who sponsor Keep C-.H.S. Clean month. It is also the students who belong to all the decorating committees, work- ing to beautify the various parts of our school during Homecoming and Christmas, and it is also the students who spend many hours shining and Opening polishing the trophies, arranging let- ters onthe marque and programming messages on the moving sign in the cafetria. This is what keeps G.H.S. alive. Attending pep rallies, football, bas- ketball, and baseball games is all part of our spirit, but students at GHS have so much more. We have pride in ourselves and our community. We lend a helping hand wherever it is necessary. Each year students pull to- gether and donate money, toys, and canned foods to provide a needy fam- ily with an enjoyable holiday season.
