Renovations, Changes Distinguish Year Each year brings change; the year of 1982-83, especial¬ ly, was one for renovations. As the school year opened, the alpha list of students had to be renovated with the arri¬ val of a new group of stu¬ dents. Soon they, along with the remaining student body, became aware of a new and different attendance policy. This renovated procedure al¬ lowed a student to miss a class only six times per six-weeks. An absence included not only missing a complete school day, but also missing a class for an in-school meeting, ear¬ ly dismissal, or a late bus. When a student had six ab¬ sences, he appeared before an appeals board who deter¬ mined whether he would be allowed to make up missed work. The mode of dress also changed. While the preppie look was still very “in,” punk fashions also began to claim their share of attention. Hem¬ lines were renovated as girls wore miniskirts and head- bands, and exhibited flashier accessories. Boys donned the latest fashion craze: nylon jackets with a “Members Only” tag on the front. The clubs and organiza¬ tions existing became ren¬ ovated somewhat. The Senior and Junior Beta Clubs initiat¬ ed new members into their groups and a different organi¬ zation, the Thespian Society, appeared. The band, flag corps, and majorettes ren¬ ovated and polished their routines and the journalism class continued publication of the recently renamed COU¬ GAR REVIEW. Directing these activities was a new slate of SCA officers who ren¬ ovated the Student Council office. Renovations occurred in the sports program. After the addition of a girls’ softball team in the previous spring, a fall golf team formed and made its appearance on the district circuit. Within the community, the two existing banks renovated their business hours by offer¬ ing 24-hour banking services through automated teller sys¬ tems. Also, as an alternative to public education, parochial schools opened their doors to children of all ages. Renovated TV schedules accompanied cablevision as it entered the area bringing movies, concerts, and other specials into viewers’ homes. In addition, new restaurants, such as The Mountain House and The Alamo, provided a more varied and abundant fare from which the county’s residents could choose. All of these changes, plus the ones less apparent, com¬ bined to form a year of ren¬ ovations — one well worth ex¬ ploring and remembering. While concentrating on a speed test in typing class, Keith Arnder wears his “Members Only” jacket. The Calvary Christian Academy in Patrick Springs was only one of the parochial schools which recently opened in the area. Such schools ren¬ ovated the county’s educational ser¬ vices, as they offered an alternative to public schooling. 2 Opening
