Seventh graders Heather Henderson and Christy Hamm work on a weaving project in art class. Students used yarn and homemade looms to create wall hangings in this 12 week class. Mrs. Mary Ann Workman assists sophomore Rob Elliot during study hall. Two permanent study hall aides were among the new additions to this year's staff. Donna Davis takes advantage of an empty hall for some last minute study. Because the C G rules said students must be in the classroom, the halls were often the quietest places in the school. Juniors Tom DeBusk, Jim Tharp, and David Hancher examine the results of an experiment in chemistry. Students in the class heated glass tubes, then bent and broke them to learn the effects of heat on glass. 4 Academics

Students from Mrs. Wagner's fourth period junior English class relax in the front hall during lunch. Finding a place to sit after eating was often difficult because everyone had to stay in either the front hall or the gym. Gary Clark checks an ad layout in Jetstream. Layout designers were responsible for organizing the jumble of photos, captions, stories, and artwork into a neat, pleasing page. Eighth grader Autumn Wade cotches up on some studying during a free gym period. Since many substitute teachers preferred not to teach P.E., the gym often turned into a study hall when the regular teacher was absent.

Sports, social life, extracuricular activities; these were a few of students' priorities in school. Governor Bob Orr, however, had a different priority for Indiana's students: academics. The General Assembly agreed with the Governor, and soon high schools all across the state were taking new directions in academics. Hauser was no exception. As requirements for graduation were toughened, students found themselves altering their plans. Seniors who lacked only a few credits toward graduation learned they could no longer fill their schedules with study halls or as teacher assistants. Juniors who had expected to slide through their final year of English were now faced with still more Shakespeare and term papers in a required senior English course. And upperclassmen weren't the only ones affected by the changes. New general math and science classes were offered to meet state requirements, and sophomores enrolled in a new mandatory substance abuse class. Junior high students faced the greatest changes of all, as their graduation requirement increased to 39 credits by 1990. It was a year of change in academics as teachers and administrators tried to better prepare students for their next new direction: life after high school. Foods I students Greg Jessee and Shawn Young add applesauce to a recipe. The class was preparing dishes for a Thanksgiving dinner. Renea Janes adds a column of numbers in business machines class. Besides adding machines and mimeograph machines, students learned to use the new Lanier word processor. 5
