Who ever heard of temperatures of 105 + degrees in late Septem- ber? Shortly after school started a tropical storm moved up from Baja, A local weather sign broke down and stuck on 110 degrees, then lowered itself to 100 degrees, then 95 degrees and stayed that way for four days Because of the extreme heat, school officials declared three minimum days for the students to cool off. ' ' The beach was more crowded than in the summer, stated a bronzed stu- dent. Teams still had to practice. One advantage of the heat and shortened school days was the opportunity for students who worked during summer vacation to get a tan. Other places people tried to find refuge were pools or air conditioned rooms. But air condi- tioners soon shut down. Several power fail- ures cut off electricity for several hours but were brought under control, so everyone could go about cooling off. Heat waves returned in October but not with the intensity or duration of the record-breakers in September.

Brian Darrell Barnes Bartow W If you wanted to graduate, you had to take three mandatory classes: US Government. Advanced or Exposi- tory Composition and Senior Math. Many students were exempted from taking Senior Math because they had taken Algebra or Geometry to fulfill the required math credits. All seniors took a comp class for the English requirements needed. It wasn ' t as hard as I thought, except for the weekly compositions we had to write, commented Marlyn Palmquist. Something new was added for the seniors benefit. PE was not required for seniors. The principal decided after the fall semester had started to eliminate this requirement if seniors didn ' t need the credits to graduate . IN MR.
