The boldest and most dar- ing change was the opening of the smoking area. I ' d rather have them (smokers) corralled out there than around the northeast corner c;ausing damage. remark(!d Mrs. Ruby Byers. Two new additions, 7-Up and Coke machines, appeared after thoughtful consideration by the Student Council. I ' m surprised the pop machines last ed as long as they have, considering all the warnings we were given, stated Junior Lisa Janda. During January the machines were closed due to misuse and later reopened after Student Council mem- bers agreed to monitor the lunch iieriods. As a result of conci rn, the faculty in conjunction with selected Student Council members canceled the Wed- nesday activity periods. I think the cancellation of the activity period will cause a great loss in student partic:i- pation in the clubs, e.xpressed a concerned stu- dent. Mrs. Cindy Shipley finally fulfilled her dreams and became the first woman counselor of Carroll and supervisor of the in-school- suspension (ISS) program. The purpose of ISS was to provide proper discipline in school and at the same time give the opportunity to talk about the reason of punish- ment. Bus drivers look action against the school board and refused to drive for extracur- ricular activities. The main debate by the bus drivers was whether they should receive a pension for a part- time job or not. The Student Handbook was revised and upgraded by committee members to make it more meaningful and eas- ier to understand. The com- mittee prepared the Hand- book with a basic concern for the welfare of students and the protection of their rights. These alterations may seem trivial to the world, but each one has majorly changed the feelings of the student body and the out- come of the school. Reading the revised Student Hand- book. Keitti Leiter tal es a break from Mr. Bordner ' s U.S. History class to find out how many more days he can afford to miss. Pension for part-timers? Bus drivers refused to drive for field trips or sporting events since binding con- tracts will not allow a strike. Whew! Five more minutes to sleep. After the cancellation of activity period, school begins five minutes later to compensate for the loss. Changes 17

K?caS cameras take a lickin ' and 3T on clickin ' according to junior bco ' t Bauserman, but when the oroauct explodes, it usually hurts Our campaign. Total impromptu , was the answer MC ' s Todd Bocik and Kim Sylvester came up with as a means to intro- duce some of the seventeen acts in this year ' s follies. K-K-K-Katie was the title of the melody sung by the barbershop quartet, mcludmg senior members Don Ternet and Margie Ransbottom. In the limelight Y our palms are sweaty, your knees shake, and butterflies are in your stomach. Suddenly, the cur- tain is thrown open, and your turn has arrived. The spotlight hits you with a blaze of light and it becomes impossible for you to see your audience; it is just you and the light. As quickly as it had begun, it ends. The audi- ence shows its approval through uproarious applause. You did it. You showed off your talent and were rewarded with the approval of your peers. However, it is not all glam- our and glory; it takes a lot of hard work, causes a lot of headaches, and is quite time consuming. Practice was held five days a week for approximately five weeks before the actual perform- ance date. Attendance at these practices was very important as stressed almost every other morning over the announcements. The night before the show goes on, however, the entire cast stays until ten o ' clock to practice. You then realize for the first time that you do not have that routine down as well as you did, that the MC ' s still have not come up with an introduction for your act, and you have never had a full dress rehearsal. Other than that, everything is just great! Even with the problems faced by this year ' s cast, when the production appeared it possessed an entertaining and yet profes- sional quality. It was evident that many of those who had attended Follies Falls In Love had in actuality fallen in love with the follies.
