hat a site 'D'acy Dickerson Coming back to school was always an expe- rience. What would be new? What would the new teachers be like? And, as students poured in the school Sept. 7th, they found a facelift for LHS ir1 more ways than one. It certainly was a shock to one's system to find the sophomore locker bay a brilliant sky blue and the lockers bright yellow. Jim Dunn's mouth sparkled with new braces and grizzly C.W. Stessman roamed the halls with a new look of his ovm. The welcomed vending machines spurted out quantities of calories for hungry, sweetaholics lafter school only, of coursel. 'I don't get the locker bays mixed up myself, so the color changes don't make that much difference to me, said Michelle Lett, sr. 'But I realize it's easy for the sophomores to get confused so I guess it's a good thing. Other changes included policies. Students modeled appropriate dress down the freshly painted color-coded locker bays, while other students fought nicotine fits in closed-in rooms, and mobs of students rushed StuCo officers selling parking permits. Who could say coming back to LHS was dull? 'Way to go Bryce! Pat Curnow, sr, con- gratulates Bryce Heavner, jr, on a job well done during the Liberty Cross Country Invita- tional. Birthday bash.

'The new policies put this year's StuCo offi- cers in an awkward position. I felt pressured because a lot of people would be mad at me if they didn't get them, said Michele Baker, StuCo secretary. 'The new policies were made from the preceding StuCo officers. Promoting students' health was the primary reason the Liberty school board decided in 1985 to close down the smoking hole. But, rather than make the students go 'cold tur- key' off their habit, 1987 was a transitional year in which students were allowed to smoke during designated times. This school year, however, the smoking stopped completely. Teachers had to patrol the bathrooms for those who might have rebelled against this policy. The parking permit was another policy not widely accepted by students. In order to help an overcrowded parking lot, the school is- sued parking permits to juniors and seniors. 'I was pretty upset when I first found out because when turning 1 6, you look forward to driving to school, showing off your car and not having to ride the bus, said Brent Ryan, soph. 'But all these rights have been taken away. Stumped. Trigonometry problems some- times baffled students. Heather Dyer and Michele Baker, jrs, discuss a math problem. There was definitely an increase in the number of students in the lunchroom since the smoking hole was closed. Many found it difficult to find a seat. 4 Opening U U E E
