Zero hour included personal typing, jazz band and gifted and talented classes. A.P. and medical biology and a radio and TV course were also ad- ded to the regular curriculum. The print shop was reopened at the beginning of second semester due to high out- side printing costs. Because of the new state guidelines requiring 180 hours in the classroom per week, there were no pep sessions or convocations, and clubs were forced to meet after school. After the removal of asbestos, the auditorium and lecture rooms were opened before Christmas break. An elevator was completed for the bene- fit of handicapped students. Along with the addition of freshmen in HHS sports, a girls ' softball team was wel- comed into the athletic department.
