k : Wearing a some what half hearted expression, junior Dina Winar shows her school spirit. Helping her to express her spirit, a small pom-pom sold by the cheerleaders shakes in the air. Shivering bravely in the cold wind, junior David Michael is in the same predicament as many other irritated students who had to stand out in the cold during one of the several fire drills. opening 3

Enthusiastic juniors cheer wildly chant¬ ing that they are the best while hoping to help pep up the football team. Its yibout Tks. . . . . . that students, used to walking amidst nails and ladders and parking on gravel, got their long awaited new buildings, among other new addi¬ tions, and sighed a big relief. . . hroughout the preceeding years, a sound of hammering and workmen’s chatter was a common sound heard while passing the growing school. Students, forced to park on dirt, gravel, and grass because of a torn up parking lot, were eager to welcome a new, asphalted lot despite its overwhelming¬ ly long distance from many classes. The many new buildings — including a gymnasium, a vocational wing, a cafeteria and a new commons area — created a fresh appearance and eased the congestion of crowded halls. The dreaded Temporary Class¬ rooms (affectionately called TC’s) to which students were forced to march during all types of weather were torn down; now the threat of flooding and hairdo flopping was diminshed. The new freshmen looked on with awe at a new, bigger school and all the new areas that would open to benefit them in future years. On the other hand, the seniors, thrilled to be enrolling in the school for the final year, were pleased with the new construc¬ tion but were aware that they would not really be able to reap the full quality and service these new facilities would come to pro¬ vide. Regardless of his grade level, each student welcomed and was especially pleased and proud to see the completion of the new gym. Finally sports competitions could be viewed in an un¬ cramped style and with greater pride and room for more fans. Along with the new gymnasium was greeted the addition of a new sport — volleyball — to the newfound excitement. Connect¬ ed to the gymnasium area was the new cafeteria, in which lunch lines shortened and students could spread out and eat in a relaxed manner. Within the cafeteria was a new room referred to as the commons area in which guest speakers and other school — related activities could be seen and enjoyed. 2 opening

Of course, too many changes occur dur¬ ing the year to record them all on only two pages, but the reactions to them all can be easily summed up. As each new alteration arised to transform and improve the school, each person’s pride swelled and spirit soared as everyone agreed that with the finish of the work, it was about time. The newest style (or oldest) style of dressing?! Keyette inductees Linda Konfala and Clair Michaels do not seem to object to the sudden change in their appear¬ ances which was mandatory in the process of becom¬ ing a new Keyette. 4 opening
