At the da wn ot a decade As a new school year began, stu- dents encountered numerous changes. Mr. Glen Stark assumed his new position as principal, Mr. George Warren became vice-principal and former DE teacher John Whitesell be- came administrative assistant. In the fall of 1980 the Scarlet Hurri- cane entered the Blue Ridge District and encountered a new host of op- ponents. The neutral color of gray was added to the school colors of red and white. The football team proudly displayed new uniforms, and Standing outside the building on the first morn- ing of school, Chris Knudson, Connie Colonna, and Karen Hostetter compare their class sched- ules.

(right) the marching band showed off new uniforms and flags during the first few weeks of school. A new addition to school life was the installation of combination locks on all lockers. Although Mr. Bill Pultz had his hands full repairing stubborn and defective locks, students soon adjusted to the change. The faculty and the student body alike were amazed when the City of Lexington and Rockbridge County fi- nally constructed a new school park- ing lot, eliminating the huge potholes. The roads in front of the school were re-directed, creating mass confusion for a few days, until everyone learned the new routes. Although a new school year always begins with trepidation and anxiety as we face the unknown, students looked forward to the changes that would occur in 1980-841. We enthusi- astically greeted new opportunities and prospects at the dawn of a dec- ade. = SS i Tg
