Getting Accustomed... As students gathered in the activity cen- ter Aug. 24, they could feel the ex- citement in the air that would trigger many events that would serve to make this year unique. New faces in faculty were seen as the hall gates were lifted and students moved to homeroom to fill out the first day forms Only nine out of the original teaching staff returned for their fourteenth year here, and others left even after things had begun to settle down. Marilyn Dodd, who had been the head of the English department, was reassigned as Supervisor of Secondary School reading administration on Sept. 21. Many of her classes frantically collected funds to buy gifts and flowers for her. after being given only one weeks notice that they were to have a new teacher. I hate to leave here, for sentimental reasons, she explained, but this is a career opportunity that I just can't let pass by. Sad goodbyes were exchanged as Sandra Crawford left her own English classes to assume Dodds position. A natural event that created quite a stir early in the year. was a sudden rainstorm that flooded the Sagemont and Houston area in only six hours, On Aug. 31. as studetns parked their cars under cloudy skies. few realized they would be called out of their classes later in the day to move them from flooded streets, Laurabeth Keith. junior, rushed outside during lunch to find that there was water covering the seats of her Vega. With the help of friends and passersby. students rolled up their jeans and prepared to push. pull or tow their cars to higher ground, Returning from their Labor Day weekend, students discovered that many of their classrooms had been vandalized. The rooms of social studies teacher, Ronald Adams, and English teacher, Rosemary Rayburn, had been struck most severi The black- boards had been cracked and ceiling tiles had been torn out of place. Also suffering great damage, was the metal shop. Two weeks later, the school was once again broken into to, This second attack was launched on Lucas Vegas' office, the school mascot. and the journalism room. Students felt personally injured by the destruction of Sir Loin. Kelly Krafick, student body president, said, l think that anyone who would damage a tradition like that must not have any personal pride, Maybe with the help of private donations we can rebuild Sir Loin for next year. ln the journalism room. the typesetter which prepares the copy for both publications, was overturned and the glass on the lighttables was shattered. ln order to prevent further vandalism. an alarm system was installed, however, the system was set off by vibrations caused by the air conditioner, To prevent false alarms, the air conditioning was turned off at night causing many of the rooms to be hot or un- comfortable in the morning, Opening 3
