But on the inside, there was a lot more to it. For one thing, there were seventy more people squeezing through the doors every morning There were more people au- ditioning for plays, more people com- peting for the top grades, and more people crowding into classrooms. My Honors P.O.D. class had a remarkable 31 pupils, mused Mr. Huff. Due to financial difficulties, the school system could not afford to hire more teachers to accomodate the ex- cess students. Actually, we were down three from last year. Andrea Baker complained, 1'1 think it's im- practical to have less teachers when there are more kids enrolled in school this year Art Brace agreed. Each student receives less individ- ualized attention. But there's more to it than just the extra people. There's even a extra building. The arts annex was opened for full usage from the beginning of the year. The new building housed the library, the art room, and the shop room. And how many other schools can boast Lake Erie as its backyard? Not many. Throughout the summer, stu- dents' lives pivoted around tanning, swimming, boating, and skiing. I spent an awful lot of time at the beach because there's nothing else to do in Ashtabula, stated Mary McCar- thy. And besides I wanted a good tan to flaunt in school. Besides the added people running up and. down the hallways, and be side the extra building, there was more spirit generated through the school. There were more clubs and activites. Don't be fooled by the exte- rior-there's always more to it! ZhOpem'ng

More projects and activities accentuate student life Everyone was joining clubs, audi- tioning for plays, singing in the choir, dancing at the prom, and playing in the band. That was quite normal. But this year there were more clubs to join Mrs. Horton started a business club, and Mr. Iosson reactivated the science club. ltI got involved in so many extracurricu- lar activities, said Jeanette Latimer, that I was hardly ever home. I don't even have time to breathe. There was a lot more red tape be- fore any club could plan a project or a fund-raiserA Before school even started, advisers were busy figuring out budgets to conform with the new rules of the state auditor's office. Forms had to be filled out for everything. There was more hassle before anything could be done, stat- ed yearbook adviser Mrs. Kleesattel. Projects not originally written in the budget were outlawed because everything had to be planned in advance, The newspaper went out of exis- tence because no one could sign a contract for it, but the yearbook staff put out the senior issue. All the clubs seemed to be more active. Several of them adopted fam- ilies for Christmas and Thanksgiving The American Field Service put Mark Lotze, Sonja Sargent, and Nancy Peet abroad. There were a lot of field trips and parties and, as Lisa Nystrom thought, generally a lot more enthusiasm. 4hDivisinn
