To ac- comodate a smaller teaching staff this year, we went from an eight period day to seven. It cut out the spitwads, note writing, and talking teams in the study (play) halls. Science wasn ' t two periods anymore (shorter lectures) and you had e- nough time to wash your hands in art. Sixteen out of thirty faculty preferred the new day. five had no opinion, four wanted to go back to eight, and the others — well This caused a large mass of senior teaching assistants who didn ' t want another class and as with any change, people began voicing opinions. I like it — it ' s one less class. It ' s an uneven num- ber. Last ten minutes drag. Cuts down on the possibilities of kids taking electives. My stomach always growls during fourth. Well, it got rid of Study halls. Oh. do we have less periods? I teach fifty- eight minutes longer a day. There should only be six. The boring forty minute classes are now boring fifty minute classes.

We should have two nutritions — it ' s too long until lunch. What hurts in forfy minutes kills ya in fifty. I like it — I really like it. I get to go home after lunch. I didn ' t havetimeto finish my frog.

After all, Pastor Meyer, what does a pastor and family man who teaches high school religion need? Why to be Superintendent of course! And did our history teacher (Mr. Craven) always as- pire to be Dean of Men? Mr. Bernard Dehhn al- ways did enjoy numbers but registering 600 stu- dents m 6,000 classes doesn ' t constitute a blast. The pnncipalship was bestowed upon (ex-dean) Mr. Rietz. Only Counselor Junghans seems to have been this way before. We can only imagine how it must have gone — Now if you take my job and I take yours and we move him and But that leaves . .. let ' s try again . Now if . . . They might have played musical offices but it is more likely that the order of succession was carefully calculated upon the stone tablets of faculty and board decisions. Between family, coaching, meetings, sponsor- ing and all the hundred other odd jobs, how can one be expected to take on an administrative position (and a new one at that)? Well, glance at those LHS dedicated faces! After serious deliberation and job hopping the faces of the remodeled administration said, We can do it! And you know what? They did! V.
