Hassles hassles et enju here School began with a roar. As the grinding of machinery and the gnashing of jackhammers reiterated through the dust-filled corridors, students scrambled to their classrooms. Students struggled to adapt to their new environment. A large portion of the horseshoe had been fenced off. A gravel path proved to be a nuisance when walking from the North to South buildings, and as the days grew colder, drafty halls and icy paths seemed to be the normal scene. Reconstruction of the school began on August 30, 1979 and was aimed to be completed by August 1981. The total cost of both the high school and the middle school was estimated at $6,483,940. Included in the renovation of the high school was the construction of the music, art, and journalism depart- ments; the remodeling of classrooms, the cafeteria, and the fieldhouse; and the construction of a new wing of offices and classrooms. Before we acquired these new sites, we had to witness gut- ted lecture halls and live through getting drenched during passing periods by rainstorms as the year passed. Hopefully after the inconveniences, it will be worthwhile. Stripped of all furnishings, the South Resource Center is to be the new Publications and Art Departments. Linking the Fieldhouse to the North Building was a temporary walkway. Students cross to quickly reach their next class to avoid the cold weather.

Awkwardly scattered across the Commons floor, cherhistry students attempt to listen to Mr. Donald Ullman ' s lecture. Because of the juniors ' PSAT ' s and the construction, the Chemistry ' classes were pushed out of their rooms. In the midst of all the rubble and debris, a con- struction worker takes time out to survey his work. Uprooted benches indicated the beginning of re- construction in what was once the horseshoe and was soon to be new classrooms. if mi
