No problem. So the tardy policy changed, challenging students to become even more responsible in getting to class on time. So the smoking regulations prohibited all but seniors the “privilege.” No problem, be cause changes meant progression, improvement, growth. And without growth, there would be stag¬ nation. So changes were expected. They came as no surprise. But, no problem. The students adapted with ease and an under¬ standing that more changes would take place as the years passed. They knew all along. Changes happen. No problem. Since the arrival of the movie, Witchboard, sales of the once popular Ouija board have increased. During weekend leisure time, Leon Simmons and Jay Young toy with the board in an attempt to test its ability. Finding something to do is no problem for Senior Jimmy Cockram and his friends. Local parks with basketball courts are an attraction for many students. While on their way to an assembly, seniors take advantage of their upperclass status to monopolize the space in the courtyard. During the back-to-school assembly, seniors were allowed to parade around the gymnasium so that they may be identified by the remainder of the student body. Student Life Divider 5

1 The Heat of Summer SIZZLING HOT! A round the beginning of June, stu¬ dents and teachers anxiously awaited for the final bell to ring at 3:02. Everyone was on the edge of their seats . . . their eyes were watching the clock and suddenly, Ring!! It’s summertime!! Students went racing out of the class¬ rooms, while teachers, with three more workdays to go, sat back and breathed a sigh of relief. Summer vacation held different op¬ portunities for everyone. Many of the seniors went on the traditional beach trip and caused a commotion at the ocean. Others chose to spend their sum¬ mer playing sports, attending camps or just loafing around the pool at DeHart Park. Those who weren’t soaking up the sun, shaping up in sports, or snoozing in the shade, were working at summer jobs. These jobs were as varied as the rec¬ reational activities. Some jobs included lifeguarding at the pool or teaching ten¬ nis lessons. Other summer jobs were not quite as enticing. Many students worked in fac¬ tories, supermarkets and restaurants. Other people put in several long hours working in tobacco and cabbage for local farmers. As the summer came to a close in late August, students had to stock up on school suppl ies and get back into the groove of school. Many of the graduating seniors packed up their belongings and moved into college. For them, the fun was just beginning. § MNfs While airbourne, Bert Stanley anticipates Being a lifeguard is a hot job, but Tara Mas- two points.
