Teachers spent the summer reviewing the previous year and preparing for the new year. A few attended a seminar at Grinnell College on Advanced Placement CAPJ courses.

Class parties also ceased. Bottles, cans, and cups could not be brought into the school. Visits to the restroom or the nurse were allowed only during passing periods. Morning announcements were posted, not read aloud. The rules were formed in an effort to eliminate distractions and give the stu- dents more time for learning. Throughout the year signs of the bond money being utilized became more visible. The physical education fields at the south end of the parking lot were completed. In addition to the badly-need- ed new furniture added to many classrooms, the business department re- ceived new equipment. The renovation project began in the spring. It involved knocking down walls and adjusting space to take advantage of its greatest potential. As new pride in the school developed, students, teachers, and administrators joined together. In the years ahead, the spirit building in the school will show this year's effort, as we were STRIVING FOR UNITY. -Diane Lowenthal and Elisabeth Creel 6 design by Gretchen Smithmier- WHILE VACATIONING IN Texas at the beginning of the summer, Seniors Kristi Kennedy and fill Campbell relax at the beach. fphoto by Teie Parham INTENSELY AWAITING THE BEGINNING of the point, Ienny Wattf9I concentrates while Trudie Brettflll SETUBS to BBIIOTI. fphoto by Andrea Herstowskil
