Computer Delays Class The school year started with a slight delay for 175 stu- dents’ who did not receive schedules the first day of school. Mr. Lumpkin slated that the reason for the mix-up was with the computers. Within a week the counselors had hand processed most of the missing schedules. It took a lit- tle longer to work out the problems of balancing classes. On September I. while students were leaving for lunch, several witnessed a tornado coming out of the clouds on the North Main side of campus. New was the introduction of the advisory schedule dur- ing which both service and interest club meetings were held. Newspapers were also sold, while voting for class favorites occurred. The first week of school a special advi- sory class was held so that the changes in the handbook could be discussed. New rule changes such as dress and hair code were among the things presented. Mrs. Dixon, the new senior counselor, addressed 535 seniors at their first class meeting of the year. Among the topics discussed were the importance of credits, since there would be no chance for them to be made up. and the achievement tests required for college entrance. Many students gel their first real look at a real tornado during lunch. Coach Clyde Alexander discusses rule changes to his advisory class. Mrs. Robbie Dixon addresses the fir i meeting of the senior class. 30 Student life
