It was a year like many that had preceded it. Yet, it was unique in several ways. A modified closed campus became the rule and most releases became a thing of the past as students were either in class or study hall. Many didn't realize the changes had taken place and the student body generally came to accept them as the way it’s always been. ” Increased emphasis was placed on academics with strong remedial programs in such areas as mathematics, reading and writing. Another academic change was the increased emphasis on computers and computer awareness. Students planning to go to college were strongly advised to take the computer courses offered. Teachers got hands-on experience as they worked with the five Apple computers made available to them during the year. Learning in all areas took place, students formed new friendships, they participated in a myriad of activities, emphasis was still on the individual, most knowledge was gained through doing a variety of tasks, and we all ended the year with a stack of memories, some personal, others held in common with our fellow students. This book attempts to Focus On the events of the past year, to help you relive them and savor them once again, remembering both the good and the bad, and gaining knowledge from your experiences. 16
