ut time ln a bottle or a capsule but lt raced wlldl Mac-Ili clocks There were a lot of things new: . . . We came into new - at least new looking - hallways and classrooms. The absence of lockers and the new carpeting creates a readymade arena for an 'upperclassmen jock' section who lined the main hall with sprawling legs. Freshmen and Sophomores took over the unfurnished student lounge. 'lihe new looking classrooms soon filled with the usual teaching paraphernalia. The changes had been slow and the impact probably wasn't as strong as it might have heen for that reason. An 'open house' in November gave adults a look at the finished portions and they were generally impressed. lylac-Hi welcomed a new principal, Ur. jim Hitter, and three new faculty members - Ralph Burton, lid Cole and Bob Paige. Red M reinitiated a girls' letter sweater and GAA invited Tomlinson's cow, Tessie, to the revived Sadie Hawkins dance. ... and a lot of things unfinished... lyluch was left out of the original remodeling program because the school district was caught in one of the worst inflation spirals in U.S. history. One addition was omitted, along with an activity gym, parking lots, land-scaping and fencing went undone. Students started school after a one week delay due to a late apple harvest and without student leadership. No one was interested in the AS B offices and the year stumbled underway with no student voice. Eventually a committee was established of class officers but with no guidelines they never met or served any purpose. K - Highway ll still detoured via Elizabeth St. at the ASLW and never did see the promised bicycle lane added. School buses broke down traveling to and from everywhere, the state required elevator developed a short and the undependable clocks and touchy silent burglar alarm were standing jokes. A stray senior dampened AP field trips and the math department got a new computer terminal but conducted classes in a garage-like atmosphere. . . . but there were as many ups as down. The gymnasts hosted a highly successful district meet and finished two points out of second behind two .-XAA schools. The choir was as enjoyable as ever and Mac-H i's grid record was 6-l if you ignored the forfiets. The school was nice and fresh, especially the quiet halls, the music room and student lounge, the library and new athletic complex. 7
