' ere and Without any of us it wouldn t have been the ve the twenty-one year old buildings a delightful face From q Ualley to o Cqi any new changes were evident around campus. It was possible in June to continue to meet new people that you hadn ' t even seen before who had been going to school all year, just like you. It was even possible, so the teachers said, for them to meet another staff member they ' d never met before. The exterior trim of the campus was painted along with many of the actual classrooms which necessitated the tem- porary housing of classes in the lecture hall for a few days at a time. The long awaited expansion of lockers finally took place as hundreds of new lockers were installed the week of March 17. Junior Sta- cie Summers expressed her feelings by saying I ' m glad that they ' re finally here, but they are so small that some people won ' t be able to put all of their stuff in them. This year the crowding problem was handled with the installation of more por- table classrooms and the extension of the passing period. Next year the problem will be handled by the opening of a new high school. Half of this year ' s freshmen class will transfer to the new Canyon Springs High School whose principal was hired in January. That school, which won ' t be completed until after the fall of ' 87, will i relieve some of the crowding as it opens with a student population of about 9009th and 10th graders. Until the new buildings are completed, it will take over the former Alessandro school campus. Asked her opinion of the building of a new high school, freshmen English teacher Mrsi Richardson replied, ! think this is a great, opportunity that as been long overdue for this community. Bryan Brice replied, It ' s about time! We needed the school three years ago. We Want To £±a Say Goodbye
