Hot, sticky, and short tempered! This was how everyone felt on Au- gust twenty-seventh and twenty- eighth, as hundreds of students filled the halls and cafeteria waiting to en- roll.

Thomas with her reputa- tion, enthusiasm, and leadership changed the whole appearance of the school. To the people of the com- munity the school appeared revital- ized. New rules were made and old ones given new life. A school board deci- sion lengthened the academic day for juniors and seniors. juniors now took a full six period day and seniors were in class for five periods. Tardy policies were strictly enforced. Peo- ple were seen running down the halls, full speed ahead, to get to class on time. Instruction became the most important focus in the classrooms. The new seniors took their posi- tion and provided the needed leader- ship. Everyone had a sense of be- longing to something worth while. In academics, sports, and organi- zations students put forth efforts and saw results. The general attitude was pride in being students in the 1986-87 school year. Tara Wilson SENIOR SPIRIT!
