With a few hundred freshmen and increasing numbers in the upper classes, it became difficult to find some space. Halls and stairways, which in previous years were crowded are now nearly im- passable on good days. The Senior hall, previously sacred territory of the upper- classmen, became a playground for oth- ers because lockers were assigned by first period teachers. Seniors could stand the crowded halls, the congested stairs, and even freshmen on the iock bench, but to be subiected to lockering in the chicken coops was a maior com- plaint of many. Despite it's drawbacks, the new sys- tem worked out well. Athletic teams, band, debate, and theater benefitted from the freshman presence. Turnouts at sporting events increased, bringing with it a rise in school spirit. The addition of the old Woodruff School and its classroom space made the transition easier. Class size re- mained relatively small, allowing LHS to continue the tradition of outstanding education. The good things about the four year system far outweighed the bad as Logan High became a big school. The old students got used to the new way of life, the younger ones adopted it as their own, and all worked together to improve anything that didn't run smoothly. 'l.

ecisions, ecisions When boxes of unsolicited college application materials are dumped in the mailbox and the familiar phrase Janu- ary 'II is the last day of register for the February ACT graces the announcements, everyone knows decision time is near. Where to go and what to do are the questions and very few seem to know the answers. With the help of parents and counselors, the average student spends much of the senior year preparing for and taking tests, filling out forms, and checking into scholarships. College preview days and such activities as post high school orientation are attend- ed, and opinions are formed on the various schools repre- sented. The fact that Logan is a college town helps many stu- dents with their decisions. USU is a familiar place, located practically in the backyard for many, and is often a good starting block for any major. What better place to begin than the one whose name you've been wearing and whose games and dances you've been attending for years? For those lucky few who know what they want, the deci- sions are easier, but for the rest of us, it's back to the counseIor's computer readout and the ACT prep hand- book. Several students were asked where they wanted to go to college and why: I plan on going to New York City College Institute of Fashion Merchandising mainly because it's the best of its kind in the country, and the grads get the iobs. - Alisa West l'm going to go to a maior college because I want to meet different kinds of people. l'm tired of the same things. -Sugata Biswas I want to go to the U.S. Naval Academy in Annapolis, Maryland. lt's a good school. -Kris Davis Weber State and USU have a good nursing programs, and they're among my choices. -JoAnn Albretson I plan on working for a year. Then l'm going to hitchhike through Europe with Scott. -Peter VanAIfen I plan on going to USU, at least for a while, because it's local and I don't want to go to BYU. -Shelia Ward 48 College Preporofion
