To control tardiness and absences, a new time schedule made classes begin at 8:15 and end at 2:51 instead of 8:30-2:31. The schedule eliminated homerooms. Adding to the confusion, two periods of lunch were merged into one. Everyone now goes fo lunch at one ftime with about ten extra minutes. The state developed new re- quirements for graduation. Re- quirements stated that a student must take six classes and remain at school for a full day. Twenty credits must now be met to graduate in- stead of eighteen. With the twenty credit diploma a person is awarded the Board of Education seal printed on his diploma. Those with twenty- two credits will receive the advanced studies diploma with the governor's seal. A new policy was established to avoid money problems. Students cannot participate in extracurricular activities until their debts are paid. These policies were a big change, but everyone seemed to adjust well. Reminding us of our favorite song, “I’m Still Standing,”’ is the entrance to our school. 2 Opening

Although there was a lot of wasted time, the staff joined together to recapture the years events. Pushing hard, the staff met many deadlines and worked to overcome a debt that had previously slighted the ac- tivities of the book. The major money maker of the year was the selling of ads to area merchants. This year's staff consisted of 23 people. Some of those people were determined and hardworking, while on the other hand, others were lazily looking for an easy credit. After all the work that has been put in- to this book, the 1984-85 yearbook staff hopes you enjoy reliving those memories as much as we have enjoyed capturing them. As the crowd watches, Randy Albritton struts his stuff. Sitting at Mrs. Floyd’s desk, Anita Ferguson goofs off. Having a serious headache, Kelly Widdifield anguishes over her next assignment. Staying after class, Ray Wade does some ex- tra work for Mrs. Floyd. 4 Parrimac Staff
