Closing IL°l e were not only excited but insecure about the facility expansion and influx of person- nel. You couldn’t shake a stick (or paddle) at the abundance of new teachers. Among these was our new principal, Mr. Jimmy V. Scales, replacing Dr. Edwards who was promoted to assistant superintendent with an office in the new building. Other new staff members were also impressive. They had to be to survive “The Interview Com- mittee” consisting of three administrators, the departmen- tal chairman, a parent advisor, and a student representative. Questioning could last anywhere from 30 minutes to two hours. Those teachers, however were not the only newcomers. Stu- dents seem to gravitate to Mill- wood, so we have become more selective about transfers, thus keeping enrollment from increasing noticeably. Invariably, expansion brought another problem — parking. Late risers, chronic “eat-out- ers,” and working kids alike found this a difficulty. Some just gave up on choice space and walked a block from the stadium lot while others not so energetic packed their autos like sardines in the west parking area. We won't even mention those law- breakers who cheated by using the fire lane. But who’s com- plaining? When parking ceases to be a problem, you'll know half the school has dropped out.
