Later in the day, the counseling office was just as crowded with students hoping to change their schedules. In order to preserve the plants and beauty around the outdoor theater, a new fence (right) was erected. -, .s 1 .« - A sO ' 16

Alterations change campus Changes left their mark on the campus and the students, helping to make the year different from all others. Due to a new law, all students including seniors were required to have at least a five period day. Many angry students crowded the counseling office with complaints about the new law. I ' ve been planning my senior schedule for a long time now and now I have to change everything, said Tammi Myers. Students who would normally be leaving for the day packed the campus and parking lot during lunch. Because of the new law, the steady de- cline in student enrollment was hardly no- ticeable. The number of students decreased from 1734 in 1981 to 1627 in 1983. Lower enrollment meant a reduction in the counseling staff. In the past years stu- dents had the convenience of six counselors, but were now limited to four. Other staff reductions included the loss of math teacher Robert Slick, art teacher Carol Rogers and English teacher Nancy Richards. Welcome changes include the fact that many classes were finally furnished with air conditioning. I believe the air conditioning is wonderful and provides a better learning environment, said teacher Alfrieda Hull. Although the air conditioning was an im- provement to many classrooms, in others students were still forced to endure the sweltering heat. My biology class is like an oven, said Naomi Cohen. Another change to the physical appear- ance of the campus was a new fence around the outdoor theater. The new fence was an attempt to keep students from walking all over the bushes and flowers around the out- door theater, said head custodian Bob Ar- chanbault. While most students took notice of the many changes, many agreed that altering an 30-year old campus was next to impossi- ble. — DC While Mary Bowmen (top) studies as usual, posted signs demonstrate the change in the counseling staff. Because of the lack of air conditioning in some rooms, many students (left) had to endure 100 degree tem- peratures in the 300 building.
