in the halls. time. Problems crowd students TIGHT FIT ing in the Not only did the construction cause crowd- classes, but it also caused many problems Students had difficulty getting to class on he road to success it is always under construction. On the first day of school the stu- dents were greeted with a sticker on the front door. It - seemed to set the pace for the rest of the year. Sometimes our vision was blocked, sometimes blurred, but most of the time it was clear. Seven classes a day, overcrowding and con- struction delays were just a few of the prob- lems that blocked our vision. The new addition that was being built was scheduled to be completed by Oct. 1, but it was late. Instead of getting extra rooms, we had to settle with extra problems. The halls, which were like freeways blocked some of us from getting to class on time. The classroom situation was not much better. Classes were overflowing without the extra room. Some teachers were not able 'to have permanent rooms and were forced to travel to different classrooms throughout the day. This was an inconvenience for both the traveling teachers and for those teachers who shared their rooms with them. Having to share a room with a different teacher was just as difficult as having to travel, Ann Phillips, English and French teacher, said. Another thing that blocked student's vision was the pep rallies. They were only held on home games. The fact that it was extremely overcrowded in the gym obstructed many of us from having as much spirit as we might have needed. It would have been better if we could have held the pep rallies out on the football field, like the Homecoming one, Pam Den- ney, junior, said. Some of the problems could not be over- looked. We had to get around the construc- tion and overcrowding and make the best of the line of problems that blocked our vision. l opening 3
