hange — ‘‘to make or become different in some way.’’ Time changes all things, and as the summer rolled by and another school year began students found things were different from the previous year. As the buses rounded the corner to the back parking lot, the students felt a difference. Where were all those bumps that had shaken and jolted them almost out of their skin? Resurfacing the parking lot had taken care of that problem, much to the delight of both teachers and students. As students filed off the buses and into the school, new faces of teachers greeted them. Out of thirty new teachers hired in Campbell County, Altavista received thir- teen. Included in the staff additions were two new vice principals; for the middle school, Dr. Jim Cook and in the high school area Mr. Russell Jarrett. And there was Miss Betty Blair who served as an administrative intern for the first semes- Doling out change to Mike Smith and John Mattox is Miss Myra Price. The drink machines are opened at 3:05 each day as a project of the SCA, which was taken advantage of by many students. 2 Opening Face Lift Kicks Off Year ... ter. At lunch time another change was noticed by all who ventured into the cafe- teria. No more was the kitchen hot and steamy as the cafeteria workers tackled the demanding task of preparing enough food to feed the army of students who filed through the lines each day. Fans had been installed. Right outside the cafeteria door something else caught nearly every- one’s eye. What else but the new drink and snack machines! After an exhausting day of rushing to and from classes and slaving over assignments, it was a relief to be able to sip on a cool refreshing soda at three o’clock. For those involved in sports, there were afternoon practices; other students spent time on extra activi- ties such as newspaper, yearbook, and club projects. Having just arrived at school, Cristy Brown un- loads her books and prepares for morning classes. As an eighth grader, locker combinations are not as difficult as some seventh graders find them to be. Be it September or May, by late afternoon, class- rooms are warm and sticky. Gulping a drink of cooled water revives students for the next class. Dora Dudley is no exception!
