Challenging the Changes After observing the construction tor possibly the destructionl of the school grounds over the summer, it was obvi- ous to most people that there would be problems when it came time for school to begin in August. Sure enough, the renovation did cause many necessary changes. Due to the remodeling of B- wing and the shop area, all classes were crowded into A and C wings; and , with so many classes relocated, it was a common occurrence for people to be temporarily lost. In addition, the gym classes had no locker rooms and could not dress for PE. There was, however, no problem with overcrowding, as grades 6-8, as well as a third of the former faculty, were moved into tem- porary quarters in the Army Ammuni- tion plant until the completion of their new middle school. With the removal of the student parking lot, finding a place to park became an everyday has- sle, forcing students to park in the teachers lot, as well as on Level and Park Streets. As if alterations in the building it- self were not enough to cope with, there were also changes made in the administration. Mr. Ed Roth became the new principal, while Mr. J ohn Wood, formerly the CH5 dean, became the assistant principal. The new admin- istration made some adjustments in policy, but students learned to accept the challenges, not allowing them to hinder normal school activities. 1 SKATING backwards inslt all that easy as is shown by Tami Flynn. 2 llPRETTY TO- NYl, Lewis supports the freshmen basket- ball team by buying Pirate stickers. 3 FALSE teeth owned by Marketta Johnson and Everett White get together pizzaria style during the Journalism Christmas Party. 4 LISA HAYS decides to eat her potato chip bag instead of lunch in the cafeteria. 5 THE NEW gym lobby begins to take shape.

Fall sports proved the school changes had no harmful effects, as win- ning seasons were turned in by the tennis and football teams, while the volleyball and cross country teams also improved their records. The tennis team placed third in the conference, and the football team drew record crowds. while posting a 9-1 record, not to mention the conference champion- ship and state honorable mention in class AA. A near perfect homecoming week showed no sign of a decline in student spirit. The parade became the largest in Homecoming history, and a double overtime win for the Pirates provided an exciting finish to a spirited week. After such an electrifying week, it was hard to imagine an energy shortage, but there was a black-out at the dance after the game. The construction work on the build- ing did not cause much interference with school activities until basketball season. Then, due to the work being done in the gym, the team was forced to play 10 ofits frrst 11 games away from home. As the frrst semester came to a Close, the students received several un- expected ttvacationsf as record snow falls, blizzards, and sub-freezing tem- peratures caused school to be closed off and on during the month of Janu- ary. r-us
