The new system proved to be quite ex- pensive and parent pressure forced the school board to abandon the system, after only two weeks. A chance to cool off and some instructions from coach Jackie Burton are provided during a time- out, for the women's basketball team. The women competed in the first women's state basketball championship until the sectional finals where they were defeated by Columbus North.

Individual people combining strengths, allowing for weakness, toward the cause of unity In any battle one must have a plan or concept to which all can cling to, a mainstay to keep the defense up and the morale high. Though all people wanted to take part, interest, personality, and locale kept many apart, dissected from the main body. Groups formed to help unite all for one reason or cause, to keep life within our school. Some foundered and some kept up. Those that survived added to their ranks from those that failed.
