The 1980-81 school year began with many changes. The major change occurred in ad ministration. Mr. Fred Singleton replaced Mr. Paul Deifenbach as principal of HHS. With a new principal, many new policies were add ed. Some of those policies (such as stricter study halls, smoking lounge rules, and the push for more homework) met with opposi tion from the students. But as the year pro gressed, they were accepted as everyday life at HHS. The federal government also added changes at HHS by restricting the selling of soda until one o'clock. Students soon learned to satisfy their soda craving with Ha walian Punch or Hi-C with their lunch. Some students objected to not being able to play cards during study halls and that they could no longer buy doughnuts after school started, but not all the changes were bad. This year students no longer needed a pass to go to the library over lunch hours. V3 Catching up on the gossip, Karen Mohme and Kaye Woolford discuss new activities over their lunch hour. A4 Representing some of the changes in students’ life, carbon- ated drinks and cards were banned from study halls while non-carbonated drinks and passes replaced them. 9 look who's talkin’
