CuA ttOulluht at Bloomington High School turned modern four years ago when we moved from the old to the new building. New ideas and new people met the challenge of the change. During our junior year we were admitted to the North Central Association because of our modem approach to teaching and the high scholastic average of the student body, thus achieving the first goal of the administration, the faculty, and the student body. To meet the requirements of the Association, the curriculum was expanded, giving many new opportunities to the students of Bloomington High. There have been other changes at Bloomington High School since we first came here. Many new teachers have joined the faculty, others have left, and the total size of the faculty has nearly doubled. The counseling and library staffs have l cen increased to better serve the ever growing student body. The structure of our administrative department has also undergone a major change in the time our class has been here. These changes have not only provided more educational opportunities for the students but have given us a school with a scholastic record of which we can l e proud. The class of '61 is the first class to take all of their course work in the new senior high school building. As freshmen, we entered with a new outlook; as seniors, we are leaving with the knowledge that we have had a part in making our school one of the best in the nation.
