New Ideas: Air Conditioning and Student Support It was a hot day when the jun- ior high and high school was called into the auditorium. Mr. John Allen Blitch got up on stage and began to talk about the ef- forts the Board had been making. With help from students and their families, fund raisers cre- ated by the Board, continued to raise money for much needed fa- cilities. More computers and soft- ware were always welcome, as well as equipment for the athletic department. There were several other changes, the facilities were im- proved when Mrs. Bassett re- ceived a new office and Coach Wilder finally got an office with a door. The privacy was welcomed by both, and stu- dents could be seen inspecting the changes. Bill Higdon’s comment said it all, “The more trouble you’re in, the more comfortable the chairs.” An- other change came in the form of a name change. Coach Wil- der finally tied the knot with Lisa Lewis. The most important addition was announced during the as- sembly. Air conditioning was finally going to replace the fans. On the hottest days, when gnats plagued everyone, air con- ditioning would come in handy. The students cheered with “Uncle Johnny’s” news. With students and Board mem- bers, like Mrs. Judy Gregory, Mr. Jack Harnett, and Mr. Adrian Fletcher, working together, tasks were completed in no time. With a little bit of give and take from students, Board members and the administration made and perfect- ed rules. The school was made more comfortable for all, and once again, the Board was cred- ited with the welcome changes.
