Yet the unnatural start of the 1973-74 school year contributed to making this year truly differ- ent things never returned to normal. The high emotions did not subside. Students trying to see their teachers became frustrated when realizing they were on supervision duty. Teacher-administration animosity could be felt in the classroom.
