A New Year With the leadership provided by the faculty and the cooperation from the students. the new year was off to a great beginning. As ev- eryone joined into the swing of things the excitement and tension at the newness slowly ebbed away, but the joy and happiness remained. All of the changes in the i982-S3 year, a new headmaster, some new teachers, and many new students. made the school seem different. Even though there were a great many changes, one thing remained the same. This is the desire to learn and to be prepared for whatever is to come in the future. With the guidance of Dr. Turner and new teachers came new ideas and features. One addition was the assembly held every Thursday. This gave students and teachers a break from the usual school day and pro- vided a chance to relax as well as learn. Many new courses were of- fered including creative writing. guidance and testing, psychology. health. and communications. ln the lower school, changes also took place. For the first time these stu- dents were able to participate in Spanish and art.
