 Politics This has been the year of state politics — of candidates promising fast solutions to pressing economic problems. It has been the year of slogans, buttons, badges, bumper stickers, and bill boards all boast- ing personal likes and dislikes. There has been such a flurry of “speaking ones mind”. The feeling of freedom in this po- litical atmosphere is truly “Out of this World”. In a straw poll election at Carroll on Nov. 1 students predicted a win for candidate George Wallace over Emory Folmar. Fifty-six percent of the students who voted leaned towards Wallace. Conclusion The students and faculty at Carroll have been exposed to a wide range of opportunities in 1983. In and out of school the bottom line is that we expect- ed a great deal of each other and we had the space to accomplish it. — Celia Co- leman Breaking in new spaces for Carroll High Making his own space Paul Wesley waits for the assembly to start. Physical Space A new parking lot helped alleviate some of the crowded conditions around the campus. Inside — there still remained the problems of a crowded lunch room and no assembly facilities. Students lived up to a good reputation at assemblies — something hard to come by now-a days. Even though they had to sit on the floor the student body was always a polite audience. (Man can conquer lack of space too.) 3 Opening

The Key Word Space (spas) n.. the continuous ex- panse extending in all directions; an interval or period of time, often one of specified length. The “specified length of time” — four years. “The continuous expanse extend- ing in all directions” — the curriculum, the activities, and the potential. Carroll High School relates to all the definitions of space. New Technology With the new technology today the world is bombarded with home computer systems, video games, digital watches, pocket calculators, electric typewriters, microwave ovens — machines that do almost anything. We are computerized. Carroll High’s curriculum has been adapt- ed to meet the challenges of the new age. Classes were offered in Computer Sci- ence and Calculus with an eye to the future that predicts even the smallest bu- sinesses will require special computer skills. Sample taken of student digital watches (displayed on an English book). Some play tunes, some play games, but all count down the end of class. Space Economics Headlines about the sad state of the Nations economy have had impact on preparations for future careers. Carroll High offered various business courses to educate students in the basics of business — typing, shorthand, and accounting. On-the-job training classes such as Distri- butive Education, Vocational and Indus- trial Education and Health Occupations work with local establishments in training students for immediate employment fol- lowing graduation. Noticable in this publi- cation is the inclusion of ads in the main section — close ties between community and school.

Emphasis on each extra-curricular activity depended on the enthusiasm of the student body. Students at Carroll wanted to retain some traditional activities of the past, as well as trying new activities.
