1,956 Students survive registration Students registered three days for the fall school year starting on Wednesday August 26. There were 661 sophomores, 638 juniors, and 652 seniors - one of the largest graduating classes ever. Among the new additions was a computer that is a terminal input device which aides assis- tant principal Durwood Tonn in correcting and changing schedules, grades, attendance, im- munization and enrollment. lt saves us hours and hours of paper work and is convenient and accurate. The computer has a special password that only Mr. Tonn, Mrs. Trietsch and Mrs. Cloud know. This is a precau- tion that was taken in case someone wanted to change their grades. The computer is connected to a larger device in Fort Worth. Seven teachers were added to the faculty: Becki Garcia, Linda Wilcox, Kate Hayes, Charles Beamer, Maron Keyser, Sharon Winn and Scott Highsmith. .

Registration, as usual, put a damper on students' summer vacation. The first day of school was usually the time when students realized another hectic year was about to begin. As government teacher Kay Norman tells her seniors, This is your last first day of high school en- joy it. Along with all the anxieties that homework and English teachers gave students, one always finds something else to feed an ulcer. Combined with the stress of getting a I5 page research paper in by Friday, one also has to deal with the club president's demands that three full cases of Gummy Bears be sold by Thursday. AQTIWUTUES Club activities play a large role in some of the stu- dent's lives. They must plan parties, fund raisers, teacher's teas, and many other activities to keep students involved. Two weeks of Homecoming activities filled the minds of the Leadership class. Throughout the two weeks students were asked to dress up certain ways. The Leadership class and Student Council decided on what was to be worn. According to Student Council President D.J. Whitlock, the day most students were involved was Punk vs. Prep Day. D.J. felt the two weeks turned out very well because at least 100 peo- ple out of the student body involved themselves in the activities. Fun, flowers, candy and gifts filled the school dur- ing Christmas and Valentine's. Nearing Christmas vacation students entangled themselves with the an- nual second period door decoration contest. Also dur- ing this period the Leadership class threw out ideas for the Christmas dance. They decided where to have the dance and how it should be decorated. Even though the Junior class sold carnations for Valentine's Day, the office suddenly filled with flowers, from every florist in town, and candy. 19
