LOOK OUT BELOW! - The red hallnreceived a new roof in October. Although it did cause incon-N viences, such as students finding it difficult to breathe in the hall and having to walk all the way around the school grounds to get to class, Sandites will no longer be hit in the head by water drops on rainy days. J ' CONSTRUCTION UNDERWAY - Throughout the summer and first semester, builders worked on finishing the new wing of the school so students and teachers could move out of the make-do rooms located on the cafeteria stage or behind the boys locker! room of the gym. Sandites finally moved in the classes on january 14, 1980, the first day of second semester.

Because classrooms bulged at the seans and students were so crowded in school halls that they could not fall even if they tried, an additional school wing was final- ly finished. iii r e Throughout the ' idk' first semester , .r '. ' administrators were practically i ,,,,, taking bets on when students would finally be able to move into the new classrooms.

Many of PLEASE STAND UP With gas pnit the teachers also ' rising continually, several student waited for im- donned helmets and rode their twrle r provements in i' hm! the older part of T 7 the building. One such improvement was made in the vocational hall. Dur- in the month of October the red hall looked as if a tornado had touched down. New roofing was be- ing put on the building and, in the rocess, much cement and bricking had to be removed. This caused access to classrooms to be more difficult than usual. Red hall teachers had to close the doors of their rooms to keep out the heavy dust that made breath- ing difficult. Mr. Henry Hallford was one of the administrators who made sure that the construction ke t movin at a steady pace. Mr. Hall,ford's dedicated work was not all in vain, for he too, reaped some of the benefits of his la- bor. He finally received an office of his own in the vocational section of the building, over which he had au- thority. During lunch hour One-Adam Hallford policed the streets surround- ing the school in search of Sandites breaking the special speed limit or chunlcing ice at other cars. Also, dur- ing the warmer months of the year Mr. Hallford had his hands full with the increased number of motorcycles circulating school grounds. 1'This is greatly due to the impact of the gas shortage on students, stated Mr. Wayne McDowell, teacher. rs. .,

Time is ofthe essence. Both the aca- demic and extra-curricular sides to education were emphasised through- out the school year and students often had to make decisions as to which would take priority. Time and effort were always necessary to have pro- ductive programs. One such club was Youth and Gov- ernment. Through this organization students put their knowledge about political procedures into action. A number of times throughout the year members attended practice sessions in other towns in preparation for mock legislature in April. Sandites showed their partiotism toward America by having an All- American Day sponsored by the Key Club. Ever since the Irainian crisis, the public seems to have a restored belief in America and what she can do, stated Kelly Hopper. February brought entertainment to all the students in the form of a talent show. It was better than some I have seen in the past, reflected Mary Rob- ertson. Teenagers of today often seem to have the reputation of only seeking pleasure for themselves, But students proved this misconception wrong when Red Cross stayed half a day at school January 18 for a blood drive. Those students seventeen years or older took time out of school to donate their blood. Throughout all the activities and homework, students had feelings of both impatience and anxiety, for they all knew that the end of school was approaching. No more themes, ice fights, detention, blue slips, cafeteria food, or homework, for these days were definitely ftmme, to 2 r it I , , c ose. eniors terr rfstr rfier is a W T t ,,.. . .., , , ,. ,, .. . . . yr .iil anticipation tn' . .. .r. i .
