Inside world of Bend High .L The inside Iif of Bend High could hardly be called usuaI. Changes occured inside the school as well as outside. In the tirst se ester a lack of spirit resulted from these various chan es. Seniors, hesitant because of the splitting of wh t many considered a closely-knit class, and the underclassman because the leading seniors were unsure of how to lead in the split situation.

Other attempt , made by a ten-member senior party committee, headed by Paul Cooper,'Ied the senior class to a spirited graduation.tThe committee suc- ceeded in fun raising by selling tee-shirts and tickets to the year-en party. All funds went into a committee account, and later went toward the purchase of the food and drinlc for the senior party. t s Organization was the year's major problem since stu- dents were constantly coming and going. ln this way, school activities were also done in a half-day's work. 5 5 !hH'l wi-
