 t a r It's Been A Real Year!'' 8k CEMIRal WARRIORS ENTRANCE —► ED traffic prohibited VISITORS The 1979-80 school year at Central High School was very real to the students, the community, because it seemed to be a real year of change — changes in our size (we began the year with nearly 1,100 students), and we were very crowded; and there doesn’t seem to be much relief in sight. We even had a signboard that told who and where we were. There were many changes in the face of the area around us. Housing developments were being built around us, in fact, two are almost next door, literally. Coro- nado Shopping Center is just about a quarter mile east of the campus. It's the first of its kind in our part of the Grand Valley. Maybe other business will now come into the area. Much of this change in our environment has been due to our being somewhat the center of energy development in Western Colorado, mostly synthetic fuels and coal resources. - Another change came in the attitude of many students and their parents who took a renewed interest in college and showed up en masse for College Night (left).

We had a good Homecoming Parade, with imaginative ideas for the floats and decorat- ed cars.
