1 r What’s i 'ew? Changes were in the air! They weren’t big changes, but they all added up in a special way. Familiar faces were showing up in different places. Mr. Ray Davis was in the principal’s office and many teachers were in different class- rooms. The faces of happy swimmers were in the pool again. There were even some new faces appearing in the same old places. The new assistant principal, Mr. Robert Currie, was in the doorway of many classrooms checking for absence notes. His job was made a little easier because of the new rules that lured the usual “skippers” back into the classroom. The faces of State Farm employees also appeared in the classroom. Drama students came out of hiding and performed two plays. Freshmen cheerleaders were given the chance to raise spirit at freshmen home basketball and football games. Yet, some faces disappeared altogether. The friendly face of Mr. E. Kent Esbaugh, past principal, was rarely seen during the school year. Things such as balloons, flower, “food parties,” and lots of pep assemblies also became scarcities. Even the popular trips taken by the language classes were canceled this year by the State Principals’ Association due to the many terrorist acts overseas. Although the changes varied from good to bad, they all served a purpose. They made this year unique. The changes in the faces, the places, and the times came together and formed a year like no other year. A year filled with the little things, the little victories and even the little disappointments that made up this year. WH AT'S FOR LUNCH? TV dinners! With the cafete- ria decorated in a television theme, the atmosphere of the cafeteria came alive. Students felt like they were right at home in front of the TV Photo by Laura Day WHAT’S UP?

- ffT n W hats 1 radition? Many changes took place, but this didn’t mean that everything changed. Many traditions were maintained that really kept the school unity evident and the pride continued to shine. The first day of school began at 7:45. Ev- ery student could find his name on a list on the front doors of the school. This directed students to their home- room. In homeroom, lockers were as- signed and every student was given the coveted student handbook, which was hastily tossed into the new lock- ers. The bookstore opened and offered many choices of school supplies and snacks. The bookstore is located at four corners, which has always been the “hot spot” of the school. “Every- body gathers at four-corners in the morning, during lunch, and after school. I always meet my friends at four-corners and we make plans from there,” said senior Susie Mathieu. Mr. Davis, the new principal, in- formed the school that he would be in charge of the senior discipline. So even though he was no longer the assistant principal, he still handled some disci- pline and still invited any student who needed assistance to come to him. The class sponsors kept up tradition. Mr. Hamilton and Mrs. Schmidt both still sponsored the freshmen, Ms. Papes and Mrs. Edwards were in charge of the sophomores again, and Mr. Arm- strong and Mr. Davis enjoyed being the junior class sponsors. The senior class sponsors were Mr. Burns and Mr. Currie. Throughout the year, many days came when the roads were ice or snow covered. Students and teachers agreed that a snow day would have been a nice treat. It has somewhat be- come a tradition in Marshall to be in school on bad weather days. The many small changes did not change the traditions. The great times had by students occurred because of a combi- nation of both changes and traditions. WHAT'S IN THE FORECAST? Snowstorms! Although the snow fell heavily during Spirit Festival, it didn’t dampen school spirit. Juniors. Sabrina Hunter, Pat Russell, and Jeremy Hockett, prepare to make their way home on the slippery roads. Photo by Laura Day WHAT’S IN COMPETITION? Spirit Festival provides a perfect chance for students to get excited. Enthusiasm, cheers, signs, and screams are all ways to encourage classmates to victory. In the end, in spite of the sopho- mores'signs, all arc Redskins. Photo by Bryndis Lctzring OPENING 5
