A Multitude - ot Changes As students entered Manchester at the be- ginning of the school year, little did they know of what lay ahead. Soon, the Lancers were faced with a number of changes in the regime to which they had become accus- tomed. Many changes were made by the MHS ad- ministration. One such change was the dis- continuance of homeroom each morning. Thus, the ten minutes which formerly had been utilized by students to cram for the test first period, to do the forgotten English home- work, or to catch up on the sleep missed the night before were lost. Moreover, with the loss of homerooms came the loss of the morn- ing announcements over the intercome. To enable students to catch up on the latest news, the solution was found in hanging an electronic announcement board in the cafe- teria. Also, physical changes were under- gone throughout the school to upgrade our appearance and to hold the growing student body. Not only were new bleachers set up in the gymnasium, but new, cushioned seats were installed in the auditorium. And to facili- tate the holding of classes, four new trailers. were set up to accommodate expansion. On the other hand, one modification which the administration had no control over was the set of new guidelines handed down by the State Board of Education which stated that all students must attend school for 180 days. This meant no senior exemptions. Not only did this upset the student body, but faculty members also became concerned. As a re- sult, the Chesterfield County School Board held a meeting and decided that each sepa- rate school, if desiring exemptions, should draw up a proposal to allow seniors to be exempt but still attend the entire 180 days. Under the leadership and dedication of the Student Cooperative Association, ideas were proposed to the administration; and senior exemptions were alive once more!
