MA Y C ANGES VISIBLE IN A GROWING DH Change seemed inevitable as it appeared to be the most noticeable difference at Duncanville High School. Bounds of construction filled the hazy late- summer air as the baseball field was expanded and the new junior high was under way through the generosity of the school district. The school board also permitted students the right to a smoking lounge for the first time in many years. A new system of registering for classes proved somewhat confusing as mobs of students descended upon helpless teachers, determined to unravel the mys- teries of computer print outs, new classes, and conflicting time periods. The clock was moved back as classes began at 8:I5 a.m. amidst yawns and grumbles, but students were rewarded with the dismissal time of Aw p.m. TOP RIGHT: During registration, Mr. Bush appears to be overwhelmed by the students requesting to enroll in his classes while an interested Mrs. Lavender looks on.
