I BLOOMINGTON HIGH SCHOOL . . . Every day these orange buses patiently awaitod the final bell, which dismissed hundreds of relioved students. Another day was over. DIVIDED PHYSICALLY ... a i m ., .-jr ■iin-i |i' c— T 1MB - -—-V : Bloomington High School was different this year. In order to accommodate the entire 2,650 sophomores. juniors, and seniors, Bloomington High had to be divided between two buildings, a mile apart. There were 950 sophomores attending the annex, and 1,700 juniors and seniors attending the main building, which under crowded conditions could only accommodate 1,800 students. Problems arose from every direction for the administrators. faculty, and, of course, the students. Every day eleven teachers had to go back and forth between buildings for classes. They weren't the only ones who could be seen changing buildings during the day, for all the physical education classes, one chemistry class and one orchestra class were held for the sophomores in the main building. Class time was taken for bus transportation. Athletic events, especially those held indoors, were always crowded, and, unfortunately, pep fests had to be held separately. Competition for activities was always great, due to the large number of students participating. Page 4
