sm ll town IG SCHOO Big school blends with small town giving everyone unlimited choices In addition to conducting many activities within the school, students and staff interacted within the small town. First, the United Way drive turned out to be a hugh success as numerous teachers and administrators cooperated peacefully with the authorities that hauled them off to jail. The National Honor Society helped cheer up the less fortunate with their annual toy drive. Finally, the Christmas buffet brought the school and community together for an enjoyable dinner. With a school as big as MCCHS, students and staff expected changes on an annual basis. The most noticeable change centered around the organization of the school day. School started at 8:00, ten minutes earlier than last year but ended at 2:50, five minutes earlier than last year. Some students found it hard to adjust to the time changes. 1 had to reevaluate my old morning schedule, including time for driving to school. Since the bus schedules are the same, I had new bus routes to work around, said Michelle Hultema, senior. New teachers patrolled the halls and tried to put their education to good use in teaching the students. The school board hired a total of 8 new teachers to fill spots left vacant. Each year new teachers add new ideas, new approaches to old problems. Their fresh perspectives and enthusiasm are important ingredients in the total success of the year, commented Shirley Carmony, head of the English Department. Students will always remember, as graduates do, that this big school gave them their start for a life in this small town.

nnall town IG SCHOO Fun is the name of the game when not thinking of school While not studying for a big test or doing their homework, students had a life of their own, appropriately called student life. Every student shared this aspect of high school days. Every person, popular or unpopular, rich or poor, had a life outside of the everyday drudgery of schoolwork. Some people had more time than others to pursue their out of school activities and these activities varied from person to person depending on their schedules. I set aside a certain amount of time for each of my subjects and activities whenever possible, said senior Brad Marks. By planning ahead, I am able to schedule my activities in such a way as to do as much as I feel that i am capable of doing in the short amount of time I have. Our big school, NCCHS, supported several of these activities in student life. The most popular school events continued to be Winter Dance and Prom. After-game dances and fan buses to athletic events also attracted some attention. Furthermore, pre-graduation activities, graduation itself, and night club drew the seniors together one last time, in addition, individuals attended camps according to their specified interests. I think there is something for everybody, said librarian Sharon Lyskowinski. Students need to take the initiative and get involved. When activities within the big school ran low, students ventured into the small town. Seeing a movie or just browsing in one of the many new specialty shops that sprung up occupied many evenings. Also, students went out of town to shop at one of the large shopping centers in the area or out to eat at a nice restaurant.
