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
