Oh Yes the Changes!! Sounds from outer space?? Not really! This is the new Dimension phone system that entered the city schools last summer. Compared to the old PBX board, this system saves time and energy. Jean Fenimore the head operator says. Now there are only buttons to push instead of cords and levers to pull. The new telephones took a little time to get used to, but everyone made it through the initiation. Mrs. Flo Fuller sits in front of the two telephone sets. The one in the background was so much larger and com- plex. The new system occupies less space and the equipment is all stored in the size of a refrig- erator. Starting the new school year brought changes for all the students at the high school. For the sopho- mores it meant adjusting to high school life, getting up earlier, more homework and a wider variety of classes were just some of the changes the juniors found themselves in the middle; able to help the sophomores find classes but still frowned on by the seniors. And once again the seniors were placed on the throne, a position they have dreamed about for a long time. Outlook changes were numerous but with the new year came policy changes and physi- cal differences. Revisions were made in the attendance policy — becoming a strict influence on skipping classes. Ten absences in a semester class meant a loss of credit, likewise with twenty absences in a full year course. The tardiness policy was another major change which meant three tardies equaling one absence. Physical differences included a new parking lot in front of the building for the faculty and also the paving of the remainder of the student parking lot in the back; counselors being moved to individual offices throughout the school. The SAC was formed — Student Activities Center to handle all student needs such as athletic tickets, ID cards and test registration. If you ever get lost, just find your way to the SAC office and get help. All of these changes were for the improvement of the school and pride is taken in the school by all the students.

Sara Ringle, Leeann Morgan, Dave Clymer, Tod Merger, Linda Daugherty, Chris Kern, Rick Corning and Tammy Roth seem to be wide awake for the movie. Many Post Prom-goers chose to just use the Shady Grove Driving Range instead of playing putt putt, too. One golfer remarked, We just kept going back for more buckets of balls, thinking how much money it would've cost any other time. A majority, though played putt-putt, too, even when they were dead-tired. Bowling was the scene of some of the wilder antics of the night (or morning). Even Miss Ackerman tried to show she could take the all-night affair and still bowl a relatively decent game — which she did! By the last group's turn on the lanes, people were fall- ing asleep on the benches, forgetting their bowling order, and ■'accidentally ripping scoresheets in two. Still some records man- aged to be set or broken, for instance, the consecutive gutter-ball record and most errors on a scoresheet for an evening. The numbers had thinned by breakfast time. Some people had gone off to watch the sun come up, or gone home, or . . . There were still a few awake enough to eat a bite and then go home to sleep all day. The non-denominational church service to have been held sort of went by the wayside, but Dan Musgrave of St. Andrew's United Meth- odist wasn't too upset, though; he just used his material for Youth Fellowship that eve- ning. Ask anyone — they will tell you they had a good time. ABOVE; Rick McCartney, Kathy Barkey, Kathy Leathers and Mark Rodabaugh enjoy the movie. Other Side of the Mountain, Part Two.
