A little less elbow room with a lot more changes Whether it was waiting in a longer lunch line, being shoved into your locker or going down the up staircase, it was obvious that Warren would provide a rush of excitement and a lack of elbow room. For the 2800 of us who piled through the doors of Warren Central on the warm, humid morning of August 20, it was clear to see that Standing Room Only would definitely become a part of the 1981-82 school year. In theatre circles, a SRO performance is a highly successful event. Appropriately to Warren, the year had a lot to stand up for. No matter who you were, from Fearless Freshman to former IPS student. Warren had more to offer in excitement and events. Spirit ran amuck in November and December when OEA sponsored a spirit chain competition between each grade. Morning announcements spurred on students to avoid being the missing link. The junior class ended up winning the contest. Further more, changes were noted in Warren ' s skyline as large cranes and cement walls sprouted from the ground. The noise of jack- hammers and the smell of lumber prevailed as the framework for the new perform- ing arts center began taking place. With the renovation, the art wing became a semi-music wing, the bookstore relocated in the cateteria, guidance counselors worked in the career center, and on and on it went. Second semester brought Rock On Week and Sectionals, Regionals and State finals. It was obvious from the very beginning that it was to be a Standing: Room Only crowd. Slow Koing.

A little added effort toward personal goals The word crowd means a group of people gathered together. But once the crowd dispersed most Warriors found themselves alone with plenty of time to spare. Searching for an outlet occupied their time as students joined clubs, took classes, or got away from it all . Whether you stood up and cheered along with the others as our Gold Brigade captured a tremendously high seventh place in the national marching band contest, or Let the Good Times Roll during homecoming festivities, you were considered to be an intricate part of the crowd, just one piece of Warren ' s gigantic jigsaw puzzle. Moreover, Warren students found that their escape came by transporting themselves to a different image. From jogging togs at homecoming times to outrageous costumes at the Halloween convo to Elizabethan attire at the Madrigal dinner, Warriors adapted to the call of the day. Finally, when the pressures of homework and the closing in of the crowds became too much, some students needed an escape. Warren had that to offer too. A quiet walk in Warren Woods, concentration on a creation in art class or a work out in the weight training room were just a few ways to release tension. There are some who prefer being lost in the crowd, melting into the masses in the crowded hallways. But from the spunky freshmen in their first and probably last year at Warren Central, to the spirited seniors, from sectional, regional and state champs to national recognition, finding a place to stand out was a priority goal for most of our Standing Room Only crowd. V Fa, la, la, la. Attired in traditional Madrigal outfits, the Madrigals belt out an Elizabethan carol, You Stole My Love. Circular reasoning:.
