WORK FROM ONE END to the other it was work, work, work. From pre-season football drills to pre-game warm-ups, from Babes in Arms auditions to the dress rehearsal, from Mrs. Edmondson ' s quizzes to Mr. Deaderick ' s essay tests, and from setting up for the Victory Dance to slaving away in the darkroom, we managed to set aside all temptations and somehow get the job done when the chips were down. At any given time, students and faculty were at work from one end of the campus TO THE OTHER.

to the Other THE MOVE FROM ONE END of the administration wing to the other, Mr. Jerry Peters, Mr. Leigh MacQueen, and Mr. Bob Boeite trekked back and forth hauling desks, chairs, and boxes of books to their new home down the hall. After months of construction, the Lecture Room was finally transformed into a lavish new office complex. The $50,000 project began last spring when the Administration decided that they needed a little elbow room. The renovation of the Lecture Room provided ample space for the much larger new offices which are reserved for day-to-day activities such as broadcasting morning announcements and receiving tardy notes; the old office is now used primarily for bookkeeping and financial matters. This move from one end to the other not only distinguishes 1983-84 from other years, but it also perfectly symbolizes the school and the activities in which the students are involved. Throughout the year we worked, played, and remained the best from one end TO THE OTHER. At the north end of the former lecture room, members of the construction crew work in the office that Mr. Bob Boeite will occupy. The new office would not be complete without a new secretary. Mrs. Betty Edwards was hired to serve as a receptionist in the east office, while Mrs. Lynn Brugge will remain in the old office. Standing near the spot where Mr. Mike Deaderick once lectured to the American History classes, Mr. Leigh MacQueen and the builder discuss possible colors for the rugs in the new office. THE MOVE 3 A

to the Other WORK Deep concentration and a steady hand are required for the successful completion of a chemistry lab. Chris Crosby watches closely as Bob Higley tests for solubility. Although he spends hours downstairs in the darkroom processing hundreds of prints and rolls of film, Bob Thompson rarely gets the attention he deserves. All three student publications and the alumni news depend on his enormous efforts. WORK
