Connor High School - Archives Yearbook (Hebron, KY)

The school year 81-82 has proven to be a period of great renovation and change throughout Boone County as well as Conner Senior. Our reputation as being merely a farming community is quickly turning around — causing the rest of Kentucky to focus on our improvements. This chain of events began with the construction of a long-overdue, courthouse and jail. The new county four lane highway, 237, which was close to Conner, connected Hwy. 18 with 1-275. Most of us will always remember having to use a road map to get past the construction crews in front of the Conner complex. As the doors swung open for the 81-82 school year, a chain of new events also began taking place in the school. Diane Weiss enrolled in the vocational school to take auto mechanics, and became the first girl ever to do so. This also was the first year for the Business Co-op program at Conner. Students in this program go to school the first three periods of the day, and then to work. They earned three credits as well as a paycheck. The students worked at several different positions including: legal secretary, bookkeeper, accounting assistant, and general secretarial work. Moving further into the year, preparation began for the first Conner Christmas Variety Show, directed by Mrs. Gayle Egar. The students began practicing a month and a half in advance for their December 8th performance. It was a year of firsts all the way around for this area. And how 'bout those Bengals!!
