Changes Bom Physical . . . We have seen many changes at Broadway this year. New faces have appeared all over the school, and the school itself has changed. Man and Mother Nature have been busy changing the pace. Lightning struck in May 1 986, and left the chimney damaged. Some second floor classrooms had to be evac¬ uated, and buses picked up students behind the school. No one was injured, but everyone was affected by some minor inconveniences. In contrast to the flood of November 1 985, the land this spring and summer has been parched by a severe drought. While th Vflood destroyed many homes and parks, the drought ruined farmers’ crops and vegeta¬ tion. j Broadway High School has seen changes in itself. Dur¬ ing the summer, asbestos was removed from the ceiling of the annex. The annex will be renovated in the fall. New doors were installed by the dafeteria entrance, and bleachers have been added. Cars crowded the parking lot, so new lines were drawn to allow buses access to the gas pumps. Students were also permitted to eat bag lunches on the east lawn at the newly constructed picnic tables. Not only are the changes physical, but also the faculty and student body are setting a new course . . . Students have participated in more than their share of fire drills this year. Students from the first floor and annex gather outside in front of H.D. Lee. 2 Opening Rooms in the annex are emptied of their contents to accommodate asbestos removal.

. . . and Personal In the fall, Broadway welcomed seven new faculty members, including a new vice-principal, Mr. Ron Smith. Thirty-one new students transferred to Broadway. These people have joined and participated in new activities. The traditional spirit week was changed to include clash ancy toga days. Miss Massey’s class appeared on national television to wish America a Good Morn¬ ing. This book is also an example of the many changes at Broadway. Students in grades nine through twelve are now given the opportunity to work on the yearbook staff. Whether people consider it speed¬ ing up or slowing down, Broadway High School has certainly changed its pace. Laura Roush reflects on years past. Beth Showalter, Junior Homecoming Attendant, escorted by Chip Driver, gets a taste of old times. A Opening
