A Better System In the halls, in the classrooms, and all around the school individuals work together to produce the best school possible. Through athletic endeavors, scholastic achievement, club participa- tion, school spirit, and leadership these individuals leave important marks which will remain hidden in the walls. Most of the separate beings found that certain parts of the school became more prominent in their high school days. Whether different classes or buildings or gathering places, there was a variety of faces seen in the places. Without a choice, the school would not be a s uc- cess. It is a choice which is evidence of a free American system which strives for better education for its citizens. rHE HALLS WERE hardly ever empty during school hours for this was the sight of much hustle and bustle. Mark Boehn makes his way to class through the crowded hallway. CHANGING CLOTHES AND exchanging gossip are big items in the locker rooms. Robin Kalber reaches into his locker before gym class.

ALTHOUGH THE CAFETERIA is not always given the best compliments, it is still a place to eat with friends, to meet in the morning, or for study hall. . M ' ll THE GROWTH OF knowledge is centered main- ly in the classrooms. Leigh Ann Copeland works on an assignment in class. WHEN A TEACHER is not to be found, he is probably in the teacher’s lounge. Mr. DeBord enjoys a Moun- tain Dew between classes in the lounge. Today Count Make Someday there may be an automated school where machines will take over. If so, much of the warmth and human- ity of school may be lost. Someday there may be schools which contain all the modern conveniences. Then much will be taken for granted and a desire to work for better things will be stifled. Someday there may be schools which must serve thousands of students. If this happens, there will not be enough facilities or teachers to make educa- tion worthwhile. With all the “some- days” there comes the realization that this school is one which has many bene- fits. In later years this may become evident. Now it is too much taken for granted. Think a little and be thankful for the fine school, with its many facil- ities and individuals, which has served in an effort to educate those who have the opportunity to attend.
