I think the people in our school were classy. They cared about each other and not just themselves. ' ' Susan Thompson, junior I really felt that the high spirit and participation made this school classy. John Williams, sophomore We have the oldest school in the district which means we've been here the longest. That made us the best. We also have an awesome weight room. That gave us class. John Wells, junior Our class came from the students that were involved in school activities. We had lots of energy and ambition. It was good to see that it was put to good use. Mike Rice, junior This school has a past, pride, and a building with character. Where else do you have cold classrooms and hot class- rooms?

Many sports participants found a free period often helpful in finishing homework. 1 Milwaukie High had many qualities that may be described as classy. The lockers were repainted with a deep maroon bringing out the colors of the school on the building. The outer appearance of the building showed that it had seen quite a few gene- rations of students and quite a few changes in structure. In the summer of 1985 it had gone through a few more changes inside and out. Many improvements included the new roof and insulation and the new paneling on the side of the stairways. The lockers looked really good, and so did the paneling on the stairways, commented sophomore Dave Scott. People won't have an easy time writing on lockers. ' ' The student population had increased to around 1,300. The new students had to make adjustments to accomodate for their new school. It was overwhelming! explained Brian Larson, freshman. I got used to it really fast and met quite a few new people. To accomodate for the new students, 13 new teachers were hired. Their subjects ranged from social studies to math to drama. Along with all these changes came a sense of pride. Even though the school had been around for about 60 years, it continued to improve and stay the best. Because class had more to do with pride and sportsmanship rather than money and status, Milwaukie High came out on top with a touch of class.
