RIGHT: Mr. Tom Matchett became our new vice-principal this year. BELOW: Mr. Kent Ingles was the new Varsity basketball coach added to the staff. Many of the students used and were helped by the addition of a computer in the school. Mr. Carlton’s room, in the math department, housed the computer that was connected by telephone to the main computer bank in Grand Rapids. Students programmed information into the machine to get answers such as what their best occupational choice would be to how to key down algae for Doc Budge’s Microbiology class. Replacements in the coaching stall were also a factor in the changes that happened this year, along with the many others. Mr. Kent Ingles replaced Mr. Larry Taylor as Varsity Basketball coach. The fans were hopeful that the team might be on their way to a better season then they had had in the past few years. With the retirement ot Miss Jan Howard as Girls’ J.V. Basketball coach, Miss Sue Banks, also a new teacher, took over the position in that area. So, for the students as well as the faculty, this year came to prove that- Suddenly, Nothing Was Quite the Same. RIGHT: The Middle School was completed last year, thus moving the freshmen from here to there.

Changes are happening all a-round us. Some we realize, others we don’t. Many of the changes that happened this year in our school were superficial such as the carpeting and repainting of all the rooms. Others weren’t so easy to recognize like the new rules that were added to the Lowdown and many just tend to be overlooked as the freshmen were this year. No one really knew they were gone. It was just another change that didn’t greatly affect anyone. Unfortunately, there were those few changes that did touch us all tremendously. The deaths of two Greenville High School students Greg Blumberg, sophomore, and Doug Misner, junior. Though the year started out on a low note, it didn’t stop everyone from “enjoying schoof once again, with our old vice-principal, Mr. Jerry Cushman, gone and a new vice-principal, Mr. Tom Matchett on the staff, many changes were inevitable, Instead of the usual “dance done by Mr. Cushman for the Homecoming pep assembly, it was done by Wayne ritche who, in all respectability, looked very good in nis skirt. The renovation of the building made the school a lot nicer place to spend seven hours a day, five days a week. During the summer workers struggled to lay carpeting in all the classrooms except the fab and auto shop areas, and put tresh coats ot paint on the walls to match. The ceilings were lowered and finished throughout the entire building. The remodeling of the school was pushed by the school bo school board to help conserve and cut down on the cost of energy used to heat the school this winter. A new experiment was tried on the student body this year. Advisory councils were set up and they met for a total of 37 minutes each week. The administration believed that this would bring teachers and students, and even students themselves closer together. In some cases it did, and in other cases students spent the time being bored stiff. The student body only got out of the advisory councils wnat they put into them.
