We are privileged to have four public phones on campus for students to make short important calls, but some students are abusing this right by using the phones for personal calls. Two phones are located in the hallway of the A building, while the other two are in front of the office They should be used to make calls for a ride, to call your place of employment or other such urgencies. Using them to call your boyfriend, friend, or other persons for personal conversations is definitely not its purpose. It is apparent that some students are not aware of this fact yet. It is rather annoying when you are waiting your turn in line hoping to make a call before the tardy bell rings between classes or during lunch, and the person on the phone persists to gab. In most cases it is a girl flirting with a boy on the other end, or she may be discussing the latest tragedy on a soap opera with a friend As you hear her giggling, you ferment and your temperature slowly rises. The person on the phone is being selfish, ignorant, and to say the least, extremely rude. What can you do? It is impossible to use the other phones because one is out of order, another has several girls trying to talk to the same person, while the one next to you has more than enough people waiting in line. You politely tap the shoulder of the girl prattling and ask her how long she plans to continue her con- versation Of course, you calmly explain you must call for your ride home. She turns around with a sarcastic response and resumes her conversation. What next? Gettin g into a fist fight over a telephone call is absolutely useless and using vulgar language is not a suitable solution to the situation. By now the tardy bell has rung and you are late to class without making your call. That girl is still chattering, too. Where are the adults who pick up loitering students to in- troduce them to OCS? They have more important things to do, and it is not their duty to oversee the phones. There is nothing much you can do, but this is not a lost cause. These students should be aware of the trouble and anguish they bring to others. They can use public phones off campus or better yet they can use their own home phones for such calls. This should be sufficient notice of their rude conduct, and the rest of the rule abiders should not have to tolerate this nonsense SG, Phone Home Above: Using one of the public telephones, for students, freshman, Olivia Olivarez, talks during her lunch break.

Under the new administration of Principal. Phil Haley, there were many new changes instated Some in which the students were directly affected were the OCS program, the locker closure, and the pool closure Some of these changes were en forced by the board of education in all of the San Bernardino high schools With the exception of the parking lot closure, most of the changes were due to the cut back in district spending At first, the closure of the lockers and pool area were disturbing, but the students adjusted quickly and found replacements for these conve niences. There was a pool sharing program where several schools shared one pool for aqua athletic practices and games The locker situation was easily solved by the modern but somewhat inconvenience of the backpack. Carrying backpacks from class to class was a somewhat humiliating experience but it was accepted as being a necessary step to take the place of the lockers As one student. Andrea Castellano, ex pressed, It ' s not fair not having a place for our books but we all adjusted . Some of the changes such as the parking lot closure and the locking up of the bicycles were instated for the safety of the property of the students Although students were not too happy about not being able to leave freely during the day, the parking lot was at least free from vandalism during class time. But the biggest change, which would affect the San G campus in the coming years, was the closure of Pacific High School. Students from Pacific would be sent to other district schools, with many coming to San G in the fall of 1983 This decision was made in November of 1982 by the school board San G is expecting a roll increase of approximately 600 students, boosting the enrollment to 2700 Mr Haley projected. It will provide more fine students and fine staff members and possibly more relocateable classrooms.
