SACRIFICE PREPARING FOR OUR SCHOOL YEAR Proving to be hectic were the days prior to the opening of the school year. Students, teachers, football players, custodians, and the performing groups faced numerous problems in preparing for the opening of school. Rearrangements of the administra- tive offices and classrooms made Bonanza more complicated for even the veterans of the school. For instance, history class assignments .went into English rooms. English expanded into math rooms, and the weight room was changed into French! To avoid the heat, practices were i held in the early morning. Drill team, songleaders, cheerleaders, band, and the new flag team all worked hard on perfecting routines. Football players participated in the summer passing league and won the championship for Bonanza. Summer was a time for intensified training. Students from various school organizations attended specialty camps. Songleaders attended at La Jolla, basketball camp was held in Utah, drill team, cheerleaders, and yearbook staff went to Santa Barbara. Custodians worked all summer to fin- ish their work on time. They had to clean each room throughly, shampoo rugs, change locker combinations, relo- cate classroom equipment, and make sure all bathroom fixtures were in work- ing order. Teacher-ordered materials such as books, kits, furniture, and even movies arrived throughout the summer. Students themselves had a lot to get ready. Buying books, paper, and espe- cially clothes to fit the latest fashions was necessary. They also struggled to understand their registration packets so they could plan their programs before going through registration-riga- marole. When school formally started, the preparation seemed worth the effort to make the year outstanding! A Kelli Clifton and Pam Frazier rehearse a few of the pinwheels they will be using in an upcoming routine.

A A few underclassmen huddle at a table that they were lucky to get during the crowded lunches. The cafeteria was built to hold only 400 students at once.

O FUSIO Ti-lE FIRST WEEK CDE OUR SCHOGL YEAR Mass confusion are the best words used to describe the first week. 1,000 students were brand new to Bonanza. They Cespecially the 700 freshmenj had difficulty finding their way through the crowded maze. Because there were 400 more students than last year, there was a shortage of lock- ers. The novice freshmen were all the more confused when they became the lucky students selected to share them. The larger multitude of students was quite a load for the cafeteria to feed. There weren't even enough peo- ple to man the serving windows. To help cope, the cafeteria added an out- door cafeteria near the football field. Faculty had pandemonium, too. Eighteen teachers found themselves sharing their classrooms with eight floaters Cteachers without any assigned classroornb. A thin partition was added to one room and that was all that separated a Spanish class and a course on child development. The school was supposed to add three portable classrooms but alas, like everything else, they were late. On the brighter side of first week was the first assembly. Finally the crowds proved to be beneficial. The most disheartening part- of first week was the loss to Basic in football. The loss was not only unexpected but also confusing, because a scheduled dance after the game was titled a vic- tory dance. Agreeing totally with the description of first week was Las Vegas Sun reporter, Scott Zamost. For the entire first day Mr. Zamost was once again a senior in high school. He attended all of senior Scott Flader's classes. The next day his article appeared in the newspaper. He was amazed at the classes offered now and the teachers' approaches. Mr. Zamost stayed one day, but the rest of the students were grounded for 179 more. f2Hni'i'T?'ls?f 1 ' GLY 'fiixi- mink-E - r'iAU?Ff!if QTY m?.t5Q!SJf 7 c' E51 7 .
