Campus Life Smooth start “I keep expecting some- one to come running into my office to tell me that every- thing has broken loose. It just seems that everything has gone so quietly ana smoothly this year that it is all hard to accept,” said Principal Jimmy Scales. Contributing to the smooth opening of school was the reduction in time spent on orientation proce- dures. Only two days of handbook study were neces- sary this year. In addition, assemblies, class and club meetings were postponed until the second month of school. “It’s beginning to look a lot like Christ- mas,” observe William Crawford, while toying with colorful senior homecoming decorations. Proposed plans for expansion are explained to tne school l)oard by Superintendent L. W. Good. 13

Front parking lot is now less congested with completion of new lot by east campus building. Although school year began smoothly, some consternation is evident in Mr. James McGuire’s puzzled pose and junior expres- sions during ring ordering. Strange expressions are also quite common in classrooms as well as class meetings. 12

Campus Life Funny boards If you see someone walking down the hall carrying a rather funny-looking brown board about 8Vfe x 11 inches with cryptic num- bers painted on it in red, don’t fie surprised. This is not a new type of notebook, a strange ID card, or a recent development in fashion accessories. It’s the new school hall passes designed and produced jointly by Mr. Jerry Logan and Mr. Lonnie Thomas. Each classroom is assigned one and that room num- ber appears on the board. The passes simplify hall pass procedures. You just don’t have a valid hall pass unless you have one of these awkward looking boards. Only one student can use the board at a time and if the board gets stolen, then that particular classroom no longer has a valid hall pass. And of course, students caught without a “board in the hall may get acquainted with the more tra- ditional BOARDS!! associated with hall-walkers and talkers. Helping out with concession stand duties are Tony Herrod and Randy Powell, year- book staff memlters. Posters brighten the sophomore English classroom of new teacher Ms. Cathy Cox. Studying and snoozing are library activi- ties. Talking and treats are part of a trip to the local DQ for Lynn Harding and Robin Cubit. 14
