Y es Up With Ghanges Ji Gam pus Here at PSJA. we maintain a certain type of school policy which at times may be altered or amended according to the decisions the school board of directors choose to make. Obviously, this year we were hit with several drastic changes in our new'' policy. The abolishment of Coca-Cola is one that hit us the hardest. Under the new USDA law. carbonated drinks were not to be sold and Hi-C and orange juice were to take its place. That sure was a big blow to us Coke addicts. We also had a new recording system. With this system we used semesters, not the usual three quarters. On top of that, smokers were not allowed to satisfy their nicotine fits in the smoking area between classes. This was so there wouldn't be as many tardies as last year. Another long time regulation that had been recently seen in effect was the restriction of radios and cassette players. Many students tended to bring their music to listen to during their lunch hour, but only ended up having it taken away by one of the principals when reported by one of the security guards. This brought up another change—our new security guards happen to be Deputy Constables. Those people were the ones who helped enforce our rules and made sure we abided by them to make PSJA a safer and more efficient school. a) Randy Ysaguirre says Th y can't toko my music away. I'm on a mission from God. b) Coke and junk food seemed to havo fizzled Out of Our lunch picfura: now it's 100% Vitamin C with Hi-C. c) The security guard studios up on his Violation Coda Book. d) Our new 1980-81 semester raport card. e) Smokers gather around the smoking area to talk with their friends and have a morning smoke.

Well it finally happened—the last freshman class to attend good ole PSJA is graduating. It's hard to believe that the class of '81 will soon be history. After all it was only four years ago that we came here full of energy, spunlt. and childish wit. and now there we are. SENIORS full of the same old stuff, only heightened by SENIORITIS . This year's graduating class has earned its lumps, we were belittled our sophomore year by one of the toughest graduating classes to pass this way in a long time. Remember: Becky Leibowitz. Tracy Bishop. Roxanne Carter, Johnny Barboza and Laura Serna, but through allthose put downs, set backs, and humiliations we kept face and laughed right along with them, knowing that our own revenge was only two years away. Well those two years sped by a little too quickly, and here we are trying our best not to hurt any sophomore's feelings because they can't take it. Well one final word to the classes that we leave behind: Good riddance!
