Anticipating ew Goals oxes, desks, chairs, and filing cabinets were stacked in the gym for the summer. The Environmental Health Protection Agency said that the asbestos on the ceilings in the school was endangering the health of those in the building and mandated that the ceilings be scraped down and redone with other materials. This project was completed just before school started. The teachers had the new task of moving back into the classrooms to get ready for the new school year. The freshmen were welcomed to high school by principal John Turman and assistant principal Charles Engler at Freshmen Orientation. The new student body president, Chris Lacy, urged the freshmen to become involved in as many school organizations as possible. With over eighty percent of the student body active in extra-curricular activities, freshmen found it easy to become involved in something. As usual the start of athletic practices and band practices signaled the beginning of the school year. Unicorn volleyball was expected to have a rebuilding season after losing five seniors, the football team anticipated an even better season than the previous year, and the band had high expectations for top rankings at the state marching contest. A joint effort aided in building a positive attitude toward the school, faculty and administration. School had started, but Dena Dietert and Wendy Langabeer worked on the weekends as gate keepers at the local tourist attraction, The Tube Chute. Friday morning practices with the band give the Monoceras a chance to polish up their halftime per- formance. Linda Pate, Wendy Langabeer, Shelley Baros, Tracy FranzwCaptain, and Sally de Leon wait for the whistle to blow so they can march. Tracy looks back to find out what is causing the delay. 8 beginning of school Every teacher had the time-consuming job of moving back into the classrooms. Ms. Jeanne Belnap receives help from Stephanie Smith while unpacking her teaching supplies. Asbestos had been scraped off the ceiling, and Hermenia Mejia and Juanita Mendoza take advan- tage ofthe quiet halls to make last minute touch-ups. Their job was to make sure all classrooms were in tip-top shape for the first day of school. ., ,gg ,W ,, ,H VW iw-H --1 .. .. -,-.w.1-i...,..l.s1' : -fi -QF' Ffa.: 1, 1 'T- '6I'.Z- '-rf:-,7.j lj: fy Rv , Q, Q .

News Toda ew., ' , . a eff 4 fax .i if i Student body president, Chris Lacy, keeps the students informed of events taking place in the school and community by reading the daily announcements. 10-current events CC n the news this morningf' sounded the announcer's voice, there are some reports on both good and bad happenings. Overseas, the Russians did not approve of the U.S. Marines protecting non- communist countries from communist aggression. The natives of Lebanon did not appreciate the American involvement and displayed their disapproval through opening fire on our troops. In America, overseas involvement was a touchy subject with the young adults. They feared that their immediate tomorrows might be spent fighting for their freedom. On the homefront, news included higher local telephone rates, courtesy of the split in the Bell Telephone Company. Another topic of conversation was the massi' number of new companies offering low' long-distance rates. On the darker side - the news scene, an American athlete wa found to have been using steroids at tl Pan-American Games. After th: discovery, other team members hasti fled, without comment as to the reason 1 their departures. It was widely believe that they too were using steroids. On the local scene, the N.B.I.S.I remained in the headlines as Mr. Charln Bradberry replaced Mr. O. E. Hendricl as superintendent. The high school made the news as tl football team once again advanced to star play-offs and as the students receivni 'st 5 .s K Unicorn fans lined up at 7:30 a.m. to purchase tickets so they could watch the football team make headlines. Mr. Kenneth Ruhd came equipped for a long wait in line with his lawn chair and a coffee cup in hand. Rather than steroids, weights and athletic work-outs strengthen the muscles of athletes like Linda Schwanz. K if n ...Nw
