Changes on campus were all around us Students and faculty were confronted by many changes around and pertain¬ ing to school this year. For quite some time, the threat of harmful chemicals in the ceiling of the “N” Building has been known. Over the past years, shght provisions, such as covering the ceil¬ ings with plastic, had been used to alleviate the problem; however, last summer asbestos warning signs were posted and the building was closed during the removal process. Since the removal, there is no longer a threat and the building is a safe place to be. A more noticeable change was the renovation of the area between the Girls Gym and the Main Building. The Student Council, supported by the Board of Education, was responsible for the the drive behind the restoration project. The concrete walkway, benches, and shrubbery on the west side of the Main Building were put in for convenience as well as appearance. Another change that affected stu¬ dents was the alteration in transporta¬ tion to and from school. Some school bus routes, usually driven by Bi-State buses, were replaced with yellow buses, while others were eliminated all together. For many, this presented a problem and other ways of transporta¬ tion had to be found. With change, the school and community continued to grow. 6 Campus and Community Scenes L .■ ’■ .YinTs--- r.,- 4.
