If one were to ask sen¬ iors, “What’s new at school?”, they would probably answer, “Not much!” In fact, some would consider the ab¬ sence of Nibs in the vend¬ ing machines or the dis¬ continuation of ‘‘the thought for the day” in the daily bulletin as the most significant turn of their high school careers; however, with time comes change, and dur¬ ing the past four years, the senior class has adapted to several trans¬ formations within the school. Some alterations were advantageous to students, while others forced students to adjust to different lifestyles at school. Each September, students returned finding at least one aspect of their school different. Some of these changes that the seniors saw dur¬ ing their four year terms were: A NEWLY REPAVED PARKING LOT lacking speed bumps and pot¬ holes and providing a smoother ride for CARS. A CAR and numerous watches painted on the uninteresting cafeteria wall by several talented STUDENTS. THE STUDENTS’dream of a pop machine was finally realized in 1985 when one was installed in the hall outside of the cafeteria. For many students, the soda replaced school lunches and, hence, cre¬ ated disapproval among the ADMINISTRATION. THE ADMINISTRATION decided to revoke stu¬ dents’ privileges of free access in the halls after a series of senior pranks. A new system of closed hall¬ ways was incorporated decrease disorder ar CLASSROOM DISRUP¬ TION. CLASSROOM DISRUP¬ TION due to hallway noise was a key reason for in¬ stalling beige carpeting outside classrooms. Be¬ sides absorbing sound, it gave a neater appearance to THE HALLWAYS. THE HALLWAYS were painted pink to compli¬ ment the tiny bits of pink in the tiles which were covered a year later with CARPETING. While each class might claim to have seen it all, every student will always see the new come in and the old go out. Each year, our school has continued to expand in hopes of cre¬ ating a perfect environ¬ ment in which students and faculty can learn and work.
