Dimes are the subject of complaints as lunch prices are raised to sixty cents and then a dime refunded as trays are turned in and cleaned out. Becky Sif- ford, evidently bored, repetitively gives out dimes as Yonna Saul, Tammy Fagg, and Carla Harrell take their turn emptying their trays during lunch. Innovations A number of new policies were in¬ troduced by the administration this year. These policies had a direct effect upon individuals as well as the school as a whole. “No movement time,” quickly dubbed “deadtime,” the first ten minutes of each class period in which no student was to be in the halls, produced swift and often embarrassing results for those in¬ dividuals who disregarded the rule. Another new policy was that of requiring students to pay an extra dime for lunch. The dime was returned when one’s lunch tray was taken to the wash area. This was an irritation to those students who had formerly simply left their trays on the table. Along with new policies, the ad¬ ministration made some innovations in the area of school spirit. A new school emblem, the Cougar paw, was in¬ troduced. The administration gave detailed instructions on how to make a paw; and the school board, with Mr. Dob¬ son himself supervising, provided means for painting Cougar paws on the road leading to the school. This new emblem greatly increased enthusiasm and school pride. Alter Many Familiar Focuses Senior Kim Quesenberry uses a book design to create a new piece of art work. Miss Quesenberry received an honorable mention in the American Association of University Women’s Art Show for her outstanding painting. 4

L1 jaiiiMMUILl——IIIHII Sports, Clubs Concentrate Focal Image Individuals were able to develop cer¬ tain interests and contribute to the entire school through involvement in sports and clubs. A variety of clubs and organiza¬ tions were part of Pulaski County High School; not only did they aid students in developing their interests, but they also contributed greatly to the school. Sports gave students with athletic ability an outlet for their talents. Non-athletes also benefi¬ ted from sports. Events drew students together, providing a place for them to meet and encouraging school spirit. Athletic contests provided the non¬ participating student body social outing possibilities. Ballgames, meets, and matches were dating possibilities. In¬ creased spectator support improved morale and school spirit and spurred our teams on to victory.
