n the community, changes occurred on a regular basis. Danville received its first Hills store on the 19th of Oct., located next to the new Green Chevrolet dealership on Vermilion Street. Further south, the Grand Opening of the New Village Mall took place on Nov. 12th. Also, students with cars rejoiced in the completion of a year and three month renovation of Vermilion Street. Finally, Danville had a turn lane. Even in the community ‘It Took All Kinds’ of changes to make Danville better. Hey, Mark, can you believe that girl? I’d kill my girlfriend if she wore something like that! Well, 1 don’t think it’s that bad. What about that kid with the funny haircut. Now, he looks ridiculous. Whoa, wait a minute. I think it looks sharp. Dang, we just can’t agree on anything. I know. We must be total opposites. Yeah, but that’s not so bad. Why, shouldn’t friends be alike? No way. Why? Well, it sure would be boring if we were all alike. I think ‘IT TAKES ALL KINDS’ to make the world more interesting besides not everyone can be perfect like us! “Contemporaires is really great. It’s a big step up compared to Freshman Choir. The thing that really makes it great is I’m one of the only sophomores. ” — sophomore Julie White 6 OPENING

But, it didn’t happen. Students and faculty returned to the three story building in the same manner as 62 classes had before. However, this wasn’t to imply that nothing had changed, for students did have to pay fifteen dollars to park, and twelve teaching positions were eliminated. Even so, rather than dwell on the negative changes, the students chose to only concentrate on the positive. Perhaps the most physical, positive “Kind” of change came from the school custodians. They managed not only to make basic improvements to the building like cleaning the floors, but also to paint both the first and second floors and twenty classrooms. The new look gave students a better atmosphere for studying. If the new scenery didn’t work, then perhaps one of the twenty-two organizations managed to gain student’s interests. The Marching Band of Vikings performed in their second bowl appearance in two years at the Fiesta Bowl in Phoenix, Arizona. Meanwhile, the AFS club kept busy entertaining the three foreign exchange students Danville received. Finally, the 1986 Medley staff wrote its way to a second consecutive All-American rating from the National Scholastic Press Association and Medalist honors from Columbia University. With Danville’s size, ‘IT TOOK ALL KINDS’ of clubs to keep the students interested. “Managing is fun, but it takes a lot of time and effort to do the job of providing for others. It is a job that is very rewarding. ” — junior Jerry Williams OPENING 5
