Q.. wg: lofab t was jammin! exclaimed Derek Haynes I I regarding the second annual senior swim party. Derek was one of about 75- lOO Del City seniors who attended the party held at the Del City Municipal Pool. The party took place on August 27, which was the same day that Del City seniors picked up schedules for their last and final year. After bumping into friends whom they hadn't seen all summer, this provided the perfect opportunity for students to get together and get reacquainted. Kristi lones, who was a senior class executive remarked that, lt started the year off with something exciting . . . it got everyone back into the swing of things. Many students took part in things besides swimming such as frisbee and volleyball. Some people even worked on their high-diving skills while at the party. Senior class principal, Don Colston watched over the event to make sure nobody got out of hand. Also on duty were several lifeguards, some of whom attended Del City High School. Senior class officers managed to pay for the party mostly through donations and with money earned by selling seat cushions at the football games. When the party was over it was apparent that it was well worth the hard work by the class officers to make it possible. After all it did everything it was supposed to. It provided seniors a chance to be around friends, get involved in school activities and have a lot of fun on a hot summer day. Senior swim party

Hearn. 18 Construction blues Vquildu P s the old sections of the school came tumbling down to make way for new construction, it became obvious that bricks and framework weren't the only items being demolished. To conform to changes going on all around it the student body had to adjust to a new routine as the old one felf to the wayside along with the rubble. Classes were for a time held in the auditorium until the new science rooms of the soutli side were completed. For the first nine weeks of school, a make- shift cafeteria was set up in the fieldhouse lobby while the new dining facility was nearing completion. Students who chose tc eat at the school were forced to use fieldhouse seating overlook- ing the basketball court during lunch. The verdict on the tempo rary situation was almost unanimously thumbs down. ln addition Eagles battled with noisy equipment while trying to concentrate on assignments and mud and debris when trying to get arounc outside. Temporary flooding of certain rooms gave teachers e new situation to deal with. Though everyone knew it would pay off in the end, that hardly seemed consolation for students anc faculty suffering from construction blues. ali
