A new class added to the school day was weight lifting. Sixth period students above enjoyed a daily work out. — Bryan Hoffman at a Or f9S4 o£«Mte f6 46if —637-3f6f Ti on ic ta Out

As students gathered in the parking lot on August 24th, different thoughts and ideas were felt by about 850 students. Will I get lost in a crowd of up- perdassmen? Will 1 ever be able to get back into the swing of school after sleeping in every morning all summer? Before these students had time to worry about this, their questions became a reality . . . school was not going to wait for them. The first thing a student noticed was . . . really nothing. At least no major changes. The school look- ed the same, the same people were back, save the freshmen, and the same teachers were in the same classrooms. What these students coming back to Car- roll failed to notice were the changes within. What was in store for them could have changed their entire outlook about high school. Twenty-seven classes were added to the cur- riculum. Required credits for incoming freshmen were raised to 44. Proposals were made for a seven period school day, which would allow more elective classes to be added to the curriculum. The first annual Hallo- ween dance was held in which a majority of the students attended. Four new teachers joined the staff. Changes? Yeah, lots of them; but would they all work out? Students at Carroll soon grew accustomed to the new ideas. School became routine business before too long. Freshmen didn ' t seem to mind the extra credits they needed to graduate. It would be helpful if they planned to attend college. Having short pep- sessions for sports events gave students a break from their schoolwork. Carroll became nationally recogniz- ed when the FFA horticulture team competed in Tulsa, Oklahoma. All of these events added to the success of the year. As far as the very idea of a seven period day went, seniors felt relieved that they wouldn ' t be there. But in all seriousness, future students would be the ones to benefit from this new plan. A student viewing the school from within could easily tell that the new ideas, proposals, events, and changes definately seemed to finally be Working Out. — DebWilhelm WorkingOut
