10 Student I. Year begins with growth, many changes The first day of school brought sur- prises for many students. Many changes had taken place during the summer, which resulted in confusion for the en- tire student body. A large increase in enrollment crowded the halls, ag- gravating students and faculty alike. With construction blocking many students' familiar routes to the annex and the barn, many found it difficult to get to class on time. To compensate for the increased enrollment, new teachers were added to the staff. During the summer, the Texas Legislature passed special legislation which affected schools. As a result several local policies had to be altered including the exemption policy for final exams. Another law that was passed concerned the grading system in Texas public schools, any grade below a 70 was considered failing. During the third week of school, class officer elections were held. Colorful campaign posters decorated the halls of the main building and the annex. A few catchy campaign slogans were popular among the students such as 4'Stay with Clay and Don't be a hoser, vote for John Houserf' Houser, who ran for junior class president, did not exist. A few imaginative students signed him up to run for the office, but he was dis- qualified when he did not appear to make his speech. Despite his dis- qualification from election Houser became a cult figure honored with his own John Houser Fan Club. Running for the office of sophomore class representative, Shelley Wells delivers her speech to her fellow classmates. With the large increase in students this year, crowded hallways made it more difficult for students to get to class on time. ife M as - . 'I HA, .5 gpg, ig '- jf 'ii-595 4 -JAKJM' - if 5' . i 5 K
