IT ' S ALL IN THE WRIST. Senior Jeff Jenkins dis- plays his perfect frisbee- throwing form while sophomore Jeff Zima, and juniors Brad Holy- cross, Stephanie Ste- ward, and Mike Savage look on with interest. New New s There always seems to be some- thing new accompanying us to school every year. Sometimes It is a new schedule. Sometimes It is new rules. And other times it may be just a challenge to conquer. The 1985- 86 school year proved to be all of these and more. Everything seemed to be dif ferent at Clay this year. From the walls in the math area to the new principal, Mr. Harding, students were faced with changes everywhere they looked. The school day was longer than it had been in the past years. Classes were lengthened and lunch hours were shortened. The point system was also changed. After your third tardy you received after school de- tention, but after you received eight points you were automatically given two days of CORE as apposed to last year ' s one day. All of these changes met with mixed emotions from stu- dents. Because many changes were made by state legislature, there was not much to be done about them. But students soon got used to the new atmosphere and eventually ev- eryone got into the swing of things. There was a different feeling in the air. Students possessed a new sense of pride. Whether you were a fresh- man who had just arrived or a senior who was ready to leave, you felt the changing attitude towards school. For those about to graduate, it was a last chance to savor what they had built in knowledge and in friend- ships. For those who were just start- ing it was a chance for a new begin- ning. Yes, Clay High School was defi- nitely different, but it was still a school to be proud of. And the year would prove to be of equal value. The New Edition of Clay High had begun. Opening
