Five hundred and forty-five students walked in that day along with a new superintendent, three new teachers, and the forty other faculty members. It was only the beginning of a giant piece of teamwork. That many people working together to learn, live and function as that special kind of unit called a school.

Even with all of the outside activities going on, you could still find dull pencils, used paper, and students cramming for tests at lunch. Homework was still the number one pastime and the expressions when report cards were distributed revealed how much time each person had spent. Seniors began looking ahead and applying to colleges while juniors took the PS AT. The pieces were there and scrambling into some semblance of order.
