New Ripples Appear On Neumann s Surface Many new ripples ap- peared during the 1971-1972 school year to change the ex- terior of Neumann High, in- cluding the appearance of fifty freshmen to make a total en- rollment of two hundred forty- three. But freshmen weren’t the only new students. For the first time in its history, Neumann had a foreign student, Ramon Cordero, and a visually handi- capped student, Darryl Walla, attend regular classes. The school itself took on a new look as the library was arranged with a new floor plan and Room 28 was converted in- to an audio-visual room. Mean- while the north lobby was made into a speech resource center, and the old journalism room became an office for three teachers. The ripple that pleased students most, however, was the opening of the gym doors for noon recreation during mods 11,12, and 13 each day. Launching the handball on its return trip to the wall, Butch Vasa engages in one of the favorite noon-time recreation sports. Amigos from the start. Chuck Cihal aids Ramon Cordero in mastering the English language. Ramon hails from Venezuela and comes to the U S. through the efforts of Father Bill Kalin. Mary Nemecek and Barb Pleskac work industriously on an essay during their English mini-course. 6
