The new schedule that was used affected students in many ways. Many students started their day at 8 o'clock, as opposed to 8:30. The new schedule enabled students to leave campus early, which helped them obtain better working hours, com- mented senior Todd Phelps. One negative outlook on the new schedule was that there were far fewer earlybird classes than there have been in the past. One thing students seemed to like better was the way the campus looked. The newly painted build- ings and green grass made the campus a much nicer place to be,', stated junior Kevin Wilkinson. 1 With carnations in hand, Jane Dougall, sophomore, sits and talks with her friends, sophomores, Missy Muir and Andy Let- son during lunch. 2 Catsup for a mound of fries is served to junior Kelly Treadway by junior Sherri Poole. 3 While eating lunch, Christy Northrup and senior, Shelly Berguson talk to their friends.

Smaller enrollment cuts back crowding One of the major problems in the past that has been controlled is the parking situation. The parking situation has been improved a great deal from the past, commented junior Paul Koch. Organization of the parking lot prevented students from having to park on Thunderbird Road. Another problem overcome was the long lunch lines. The solution to that problem was a decline in enrollment, the opening of several fast food restau- rants and raising the prices of school lunches. With the opening of Burger King and McDonald's, it took only a couple of minutes for me to get my lunch, stated freshman Don Wilson. With the cost of school lunches going up so much, many students felt that it was just as cheap and not as crowded to eat off campus, commented senior Ron Haarer. 1 A chance to talk to friends makes lunch time endurable for Jeff Myers, Kris Schultz and Lisa Toombs.

Homecoming theme goes Surfin' Safari Final construction on floats and designated dress-up days for the week were among the activities to raise enthusiasm for the annual football Homecoming game and dance. Towels were a popular sight on the first day of the Homecoming activities, followed by Surfer Day and Toga Day for the seniors while others wore 50's outfits. Preppy attire and Orange and Blue Day finished off the week. Friday, carnations were delivered and a pep assembly was held at lunch. The assembly was centered around the Homecoming theme Surfin' Safari . Many different competitions were held which included the TRA volleyball finals won by Mrs. Suzanne Scott's homeroom, and several different class competitions. Attendants were also announced at the assembly. Sunset Surf was the theme of the dance which was held after the game. Lori Eagleston and Galen Davis were crowned king and queen. Crowning was done by Jeff Howe and Beth Emfinger, who presented the new king and queen with the traditional flowers and crown. I feel the theme was an excellent choice, the students could really get involved with the surfing lifestyle. It was really a fun Homecoming, comment- ed Becky Speegle, senior. 7
