im w senior returning to f campus after the 0$ W summer vacation prob- 9 ably Just as osl r‘ when he was a freshmen. The camp- us, with the addition of three new build- ings, was completed during the summer, giv- % ing the math, English, foreign language and social studies departments new homes. English classes in the auto shop, math classes in the cafeteria, and portable buildings became a thing of the past. Completion of the campus, 8 years old this year, was finally accomplished. “The rooms are sure nicer than the portables we had,” said Carol Garcia, junior. “It’s made it more fun to come to class,” reported another junior, Dan Maughan. Richard Nunc ., junior, said the new buildings have “given me breathing room because there is not so many kids in class.” John Dow, senior, says the new buildings “takes the pressure off the teachers and makes them happier in class. ” But sophomore Kirk Norris said the new buildings have caused him problems. “I’m tardy because the buildings are in my way,” he said.

 e5 0 If you had a hard time finding a place to sit in the gym this year, you weren’t the only one. More Nearly 1,450 students were enrolled in Golden West High School this year, cracking the 1,400 mark for the first time. In fact, the enrollment approached the 1,500 mark early in the year, but then fluctuated in the low 1400’s for the remain- der of the year. New apartment complexes and housing in the Golden West High School area accounted for the enrollment increase. The freshmen class was the larg- est with more than 400 students. The senior class was also larger than those of previous years. Just 213 seniors, for example, were pictured in last year’s yearbook. There are 287 pictured this year.
