Renovations: Mid-school moved, high school expanded By Matt Dworaczyk A new year brought about many changes to the high school. Along with a new computer lab and new snack bar twice as big as the old one, the school also expanded into the mid-school. It ' s well deserved room that we ' ve been wait- ing for, Principal Joe Brown said. Students not only had to get use to new classes in the high school, but when the English de- partment and the science labs moved over there, students had to adapt to a totally new schedule of classes. I ' m glad we moved over there. I was really tired of those old, boring halls and a change was great, senior Gayla Banks said. Also added to list of renovations was the total overhaul of the snack bar. One of the Industrial Arts classrooms was used to expand the snack bar into twice the size it was last year. I was in and out monitoring during all three lunches (the first day it was opened) and it ap- peared to have beem running fairly smoothly, Brown said. Also added to the list of renova- tions was the addition of a new computer lab. The walls in room two and three were knocked out to provide more room for computer classes. I had a computer class in there and I thought it was so much nicer. I could really breathe in there unlike last year where you couldn ' t even move, senior Charles Salas said. The biggest addition to the year was the ex- tension of the high school into the mid-school. It was great not having to dodge those little kids anymore and not having to share the caf- eteria, junior Sean Peters said. The construction on the new junior high began in 1986. The junior high is now located on Pierce Lane and is twice the size of the old mid-school. Brown said the main reason a new junior high was built instead of new high school dealt mainly with money. It takes less money to build a junior high than a new high school, he said. In the years to come who knows what changes will take place. Possibly a new high school. For now though, most people are satisfied with the new changes. jtytrat By Mike Fettes Usine the computers in the ex- panded computer lab, seniors Brenda Ferro, Kathy Stevens, and Troy Brodgen appreciate the extra space.

B .] M 50 V Clubs The Best of the Rest is a perfect term for the students and sponsors in organizations. With so many other things hke homework, jobs, and sports, it was hard to fit time in for clubs. People were getting more involved in clubs. This was shown in the Homecoming parade with more organizations par- ticipating in the parade than ever before. Clubs were more active in the inter-club council. The inter-club council was sponsored by the student council. It helped build better re- lations between different clubs. Students participated in mo ' -e state and district levels of their organizations. This help to build the school ' s reputation with other schools. Other ways that students showed their involvement was with the tons of candy sold. The most popular fundraiser for organziations was selling M Ms. Students made the extra effort, took the extra time ,and made a few sacrifices so the clubs would be the best they could be. This showed that people do care about what happens, and so they are the Best of the Rest . m» r « ■rrganizatiom rganizatiom Divider • f Preparing for a Spanish Club meeting sophomore Mary Cuellar, junior Amy Reyna, and junior JoAnn Ruiz go over last minute details with teacher James Smith before starting.
