A new principal, an experimental set up for the counseling center and a decreasing student body are a few of the general changes which have taken place during the 1975-76 school year. With the re- placement of Dr. Kaupp by Mr. Mobley, admin- istrative changes have occurred. Tardy bells have been added and cafeteria lines closed during classes. This has created some student dissatis- faction. Most of the other changes were appreci- ated and eventually accepted by everyone. Com- fortable chairs and a soft sofa made the counsel- ing center inviting. Peer counselors did much to encourage student expression. 14 Opening

Why would Miss Hamilton be found rummaging through garbage cans? The arrival of five coke machines brought a profit to the A.S.B. as well as to any individual who foraged the lunch court and trash for empty aluminum cans. Styles and fashions experienced some subtle changes again this year. Dresses were longer and fuller, with pants remaining the same. Guys had a free range of expression through their clothing. Some dressed up, others came casual in Levi's and cords. With the exhibition of in- dividual choice, students seemed to ignore the restrictions of the past. Madison alumni who fitted into the category of husky, muscular and generally friendly were hired as instructional aides for the campus se- curity. Although some friction between students and alumni was unavoidable, the new security worked out very well. The situation of students bused from the Morse high school area experienced improvement over last year. Many other unnoticed changes took place. A new attendance policy and legal endeavors to equalize educational opportunity are some examples of changes which the majority seemed to ignore completely. Opening 15
