Still on a split schedule due to the fire that ravaged Robert E. Lee Senior High School the previous Spring, Rangers began classes at 7 a.m. and went until 11:55. The Sterling campus then became Lee’s from noon until 5:30. Since pe- riods were shortened to 45 minutes, and with no breaks except for the six minutes between each period, the pace of the day was fast-filled as a unique year developed a character all its own. Difficult as it was at the time, adjustments were made as the Rangers collectively pulled together to successfully make the best of it.
