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. And so the year rolled on . . . 607 Out TW' In eltort to clear up all questions seniors had concerning their credits Mrs. Nell Jackson explains that it is important for each senior to check his credit sheet carefully during the September 24 class meeting.

G.ve.nts on top of events Jog day, assemblies, sports, ID's yearly events keep students hoppin' Who ever thought that we would sponsor a National Jogging Daw Or better yet, hold an assembly where the only way to obtain a ticket was to bring toothpaste, soap, a toothbrush or a deck of cards? Well, we did and these are just a couple of our new or improved additions. lf you studied NG very long, you would notice that we were always adding on and making changes. In order for the guys to get extra playing experience, new Head Coach Howard Evans added a fifth teun. This team, believe it or not, was a sophomore football team. Since it was only their first year, we were proud of their 4-5 record. And let us not forget our girls' sports. Var- sity basketball had an extremely good year, wrapping up two first place trophiesfor the Irving High School and the Lakeview ll'lVil81i0l't- al tournaments. Voleybal dd well dso with Jennifer Stafford md Carla Harrell receiving honorable mention ltd Klen Hom making the second all-district team. Our girls knew howto keep pace with the guys, and they did. ID cards, oh yes, those identification cards. Issued to help eliminate trouble, these precious little pieces of plastic got students into school-sponsored Although given to students free of charge, the second issuance of one cost 85. Of course, there were our day-to-day activi- ties that took place each and every year. From Balfour to rock groups and door decorating to class spirit competition, these happenings seemed almost like tradition. Everyone was able to enjoy them and most students used them fore valid reason to miss class. Now tum the page andtakea Iookatoureventsontopofevents. NKIUJQX-DliV0h JVVGIQHI CUYKUKITXNKIQ
