HAPPY BIRTHDAY!! JONA THAN WILLIAMS KEVIN HARLESS BRIAN LAWSON AND PAT WHITE EDWARD GIBSON MATTHEW KIDD It seems there were Senior faces everywhere as the largest Senior Class ever (50) assem hled in Mr. Bird's homeroom. Senior boys said good-bye to their lassmale as a new homeroom was created. Faces change as one class leaves and another begins and the tingles of excitement were all new for the people experi encing high school for the first time Megabite — many students found new and frustrating friends in the computers as 27 stu dents signed up for word processing Fashions — or rather the length of women’s skirts were often the topic of conversation and the adventure of avoiding a face to face meeting with Mrs Borum was created The band returns! The first performance of the six member band was at the annual Hal- loween Carnival and they sounded great. The Halloween Carnival class competition to raise the most money took an unusual turn as Jason Lambert, a tenth grader, was drafted just minutes before the pro- cession into the gym as an escort for Amy Brad- shaw, an eighth grader And, they were crowned King and Queen

FACES GOING PLACES Faces were going places from day one of the 180-day school year. On August 25, 438 stu dents and 34 teachers began a year filled with spirit Welcome to the Jun- gle! Face Ss were ap- palled as they first en- tered the hall and witnessed the multiple shades of green. After the initial shock, stu- dents were pleased to fi- nally have ‘‘clean”’ lock- ers Another major change was the addi- tion of more teachers which meant more class offerings and fewer stu- dents in each class. Eve- ryone has to work harder now — more homework. Most stu- dents, however, do their homework at school just before it is due. Some students took advantage of the dual credit courses and are enrolled in classes for which they will receive high school as well as college credit. WCC of- fered a computer class at our school. Students teachers, and the public took advantage of this opportunity. Two stu- dents travel to WCC to take calculus Customers needed at Se- nior Class Concession.
