Lunchtime sometimes seems like a recruiting office for the armed forces. New recruits like Dee Dee n-mh, Michelle Howard, and Tim Schaffer get an added touch of military life as they show the signifi- cance ot camouflague. Gleaming with pride is spell bowl captain Val Hoffman as she receives a congratulatory handshake and plaque for receiving second place at the state spell bowl competi- tion. Less is more was the trend in hairstyles spearheaded by senior Ron Belstra who led the students in a revolt against the long tail and replaced it with a mohawk. Opening 3

Wheels Of Progress Net Change Through Benefits Of 7 Period Day Jams, Reeboks, mohawks, and more jammed the halls as more than 900 Kou- gars jostled through the opening day of school on August 25. Change was in the air as students searched for room 101 which was now 219 and the teachers lounge which was 219. The old comput- ers had been replaced with new Apple II E ' s and the old yearbook room now housed the new teacher ' s lounge. Fashion shows and crownings had to be rescheduled as patrons awaited the arrival of new theatre seats to fill the empty auditorium. New teacher ' s desks, paint jobs, and interior decorat- ing in the cafeteria and the gym added a touch of class to the interior of the structure. Over it a $500,000 roof was placed which was guaranteed to stop leakage in the classroom. Class reassignments and new faces brought a change to hall patrols and course offerings. With an increase in staff, seniors were offered an advanced chemistry class which was sure to help students like Karan Howard who planned to study pharmacology. Kar- an ' s concentration was aided by the seven period day which gave her the opportunity to take seven classes in- stead of six. This schedule allowed for a resource hour where students could gain extra help with their homework. As the year unfolded, the physical changes warranted a change in attitude as staff and students alike fought for an academic competition. In October, speech-debate and academic competi- tion clubs were born. Its first function was the state spelling contest at Indian- apolis in November. The pace quick- ened as swimmers and runners cap- tured invitations to state meets and journalists received an invitation to a na- tional news conference. The little old farm school was chang- ing as suburbia took over the helm and 1 sent it wheeling into 1987. When Halloween ' s full moon is here, look out! It turns normal teachers such as Mr. McAtee, Mrs. Gross, Mr. Ladd, and Mrs. Hanley into a book- shelf, a squaw, a werewolf, and a pig. Although changes took place in 87 ' ' , one thing will never change — the disciplining hand of Mr. Post. 2 Opening
