REALIZE THE? Reality You were one of 1392 students crammed into the school building and you were there when the addition of 312 freshmen sent school life into a frenzy. But through all the changes, you survived the impossible and realized the possibilities. + IMPOSSIBILITY: “How were 1392 students supposed to fit into the school building?” POSSIBILITY: A $550,000 gymnasium, a portable classroom, a coaching and training room and boys’ locker room were added to lessen the congestion after reorganization. IMPOSSIBILITY: “How were we supposed to find teachers since so many of them didn’t have their own classrooms?” POSSIBILITY: Even though there were more teachers than classrooms, with time students learned where to locate teachers during the day. IMPOSSIBILITY: “What would we have done if someone at school would have gotten AIDS?” POSSIBILITY: By setting up a school board policy to deal with AIDS (Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome) victims and by educating seniors through a workshop, we recognized the importance of the issue. ¢ IMPOSSIBILITY: “Did the administration really expect us to go to school on the Monday and Tuesday before Spring Break? POSSIBILITY: Even though classes were held on March 9 and 10, 230 of you left for Spring Break two days early. -Valerie Meiners and Margy Townsend
