vvr T - KCOCE % Change Occurs rT'1 he new Social Science wing was a pleasant change of pace for many as classes ranged from freshman Social Studies to Senior Government. Many teachers, who had been teaching in the same rooms for as many as eighteen years, such as Mr. Taylor and Mr. Schmachtenberger, moved their residence for the first time. Along with the addition of ten new rooms came the addition of ten new teachers to the GHS staff. Some came up from the Middle School with the freshmen, while others were rookies to the Greenville system. Another change was in Administrators, as Mr. Sandro became Head of Student Activities, as well as Athletics and Mr. Gates took charge of Senior Class attendance and discipline, along with Vocational studies. With the addition of Mr. Curt Cable as instructor of all of GHS’s new Electrical Shop courses came the addition of a new Machine Shop under the direction of Mr. Tichelar. GHS had undergone a great amount of external changes; this change seemed partly responsible for the internal change we also went through. GHS had truly observed a “class act” in the making. The Yellow Jackets were in the big leagues — we were Class A; the building felt the presence of the Freshman class — 300 students; Prom and Homecoming set attendance records — 500 students attended Homecoming and 170 couples attended Prom; an entirely new wing was added — ten new class rooms and a Shop addition; and along with the classes came the teachers — an addition of ten to the teaching staff. The 1987-1988 GHS school year had added up to a “CLASS A ACT”. Theme—5

A Class Act First day frenzy f Y awn.) Last year it seemed so easy. But now v A that combination keeps rearranging itself in my head. And was it right left right or left right left? Twelve hundred kids in this school and it seems like they’re all in front of my locker. What a Monday; I mean Wednesday. What a day! Now I’ve got the chance to see all my old friends. Speaking of seeing old faces — just when you thought you’d escaped — the middle school teachers return. Walking briskly through the halls I thought the bell rang three minutes 56, 57, 58 seconds ago. I just step into the room, four minutes. Standing there in anticipation of “Tardy” my ears hear nothing. No bell.. No “tardy”. Checking the clock I proceed to my seat thinking, “Hey, I’m not gonna argue.” Three more run-ins with the same situation and it hits me. Five minute-between-class-jobs. I was sitting in class hearing the 1, 2, 3, fourth reading of the rules and went to grab my pencil to make a note. It was gone! I panicked then collected myself. My pencil was gone but I was O.K. I had my Greenville High School folder. On my way to fifth hour it seemed like those 1,200 kids that were in front of my locker were all going the opposite way I wanted to. I’d like to know how it is managed that a journey from one end of the school to the other is necessary between classes. Bumper-car-like freshmen toss from corner to senior to wall to junior. Entering what seemed like the right room 1 stopped motionless at the door. One-what? ooops. I raised my eyebrows, stood on my tiptoes, and scanned the room as though looking for a friend. I shrugged and walked out. How many more days? Student Life—7
