L .S ding the band Best gridiron season yet with wins over Garland, Lakeview Coach Howard Evans shared in the greatest breakthrough in nine years. To set the mood, new looks seemed to be exactly what we needed. The school's appearance changed with a remodeled library, tiled walls, a mosaic and new cafeteria furniture. The library's renovation began in spring, 1978 to accommodate 520,000 worth of books. These books combined with 2,856 square feet of extra room made our library an even nicer place to visit. Yellow tiles replaced the previous vinyl covering on the walls in each hall in hopes ot preventing that run down look. Freshness was added to the front hall when the 1979 graduating class gift, 12 toot by 8 foot Yosemite Sam mosaic was inlaid. Our improvements did not stop there. Our cafeteria came alive as red plastic chairs replaced the old metal told up ones, and brown top tables replaced the old marred ones. At a cost of S17,000.lO supplied by the GISD, these additions helped make school a nicer place. Just as the physical appearance changed so did the inside Identification cards, a drastic change for students, received initiation to help eliminate some of the so-called trouble. And what did you do while waiting in line for ID cards? For the first time students sipped ice cold can drinks. Two can vending machines replaced the cup machines at each end ofthe school. Adding to our list of inside modifications, the academic standards affected all students. Graduation requirements were boostedg mini courses were dropped. Our academic program was on its way back to the horse and buggy days? No, we were simply preparing for the return ot the two 18 week semesters. Ot course, not all of these moves were student approved, they were intended to better the school.
