Change creates challenge of choices Change greeted the Lancers as they dragged them- selves from sunny beaches and prepared for school days ahead. New teachers, new classes and a new marquis were pleasant changes to many students: overcrowdedness was not so pleasant. As a solution to the congested rooms and hallways, a new nine period day with three staggered sessions was implemented along with an extended passing period of six minutes between classes. In order to find time for clubs and special classes to meet, a monthly activity period was introduced. It provided students with a chance to either attend club meetings or to get together with friends behind the music building. Running for classes was the answer to registra- tion problems. Appointments were mailed to stu- dents two weeks prior to the opening of school. For the first time in TOHS's history, students had the opportunity to choose not only classes, but also the periods and teachers they wanted for their classes. At the end of a confusing week the traditional freshmen welcome dance was held in the gym. Spon- sored by the ASB, the dance attracted about 150 stu- dents who listened and danced to the music of Ivory Tower. TOP LEFT CORNER: Registering in the new way.

Y K ww ,,,..--f Vi R S3 sf X-. B B Y Homecoming rated -tra special Cinema of yesteryears was the theme of Home- coming 1973. Headed by Diane Armstrong, home- coming committees met from Iuly until homecoming week, working, planning and preparing to make it a success. Different from lunch time activities in the past, competition was encouraged between students. In the beginning of the week students competed in a bubble gum blowing and balloon shaving contest. Later, classes battled in a tug-of-war, while the junior and senior girls engaged in a powder puff football game. The seniors won 12-0. Premiering at the end of the week was an Acad- emy Awards Assembly, a first at TOI-IS. Formally dressed student announcers awarded miniature oscars to surprised students and faculty who had been elected by the student body. Dressed in Charlie Chaplin costumes complete with moustaches and baggy pants, the song leaders did a routine they learned at summer camp. In addi- tion, Diane Armstrong and Donna Burd did a dance and pantomime routine to the song Bear Necessi- ties from the Walt Disney production Iungle Book. Afterwards the pep squad cheered to pro- mote spirit forthe homecoming game. TOP LEFT CORNER: Mr. Iames O'Brien accepts the Best Actor CBest Teacherj award from Bill Conti and Ingrid Ber- man.
