Hustle, bustle of new year contribute in. With the beginning of a new school year came the etemal hustle and bustle of putting all the pieces in just the right place to fit together. The hustle began in August with com- puter registration instead of the college method, where students were allowed to arrange their own schedules and pick their own teachers, used during the past few years. Counselors, however, soon discovered that they had just as much work to do as before with schedule changes necessary because of computer foul-ups. School commenced with classes in the lunchroom, auditorium foyers, halls and library due to the delayed opening of the new wing.

School spirit, therefore, was at a peak as well as community involvemeni in school activities. During the summer the Senior Class had a damper put on the beginning ol their year -the School Board passed a ruling that the prom must be held within Arlington city limits. Prom site hunting began as did a fight with the School Board to change its deci- sion. The Sophomore Class increased the school's enrollment to 1851, enough to become the largest school in Arlington by six people. The new year also brought a change in the attitude toward sports other than foot- ball. ln an effort to support all sports more pep rallies were planned throughout the year.
