, 1 2 Opening During the summer of 1986, S.H.S. went through a metamorphosis. A fresh coat of paint here and an addition of a room there, made a difference and attracted attention to the improved fea- tures of the school. Not only did the physical ap- pearance of the school change but also the administration and the enrollment. August 18, many new faces dotted the campus. Fun-loving and easy-going, the atmosphere at Seminary wel- comed these new faces and made them feel at home. Pride in the school and the community made a great differ- ence in the scholastic atmo- sphere. Hopefully, we at S.H.S. have that pride and respect for our school and its reputation.

For children like Jessica Wilkins, kinder- garten was a new experience full of fun and adventure.

Progress. What exactly does this mean? Well, this school year Seminary Atten- dance Center along with the rest of Missis- sippi defined the word. Statewide kinder- garten became a reality for the hopeful educators as a result of hard work and persistence. Although kindergarten was considered the big achievement, other changes were made in the routine at S.I-l.S. First, new schoolrooms were added in the old field house. Here, sixth graders attended their daily classes. Other plusses included di- viding the counselor's office, providing more rooms for resource, and painting the auditorium. The Reform Act has brought about a new age in Mississippi education. New rules and regulations have been placed on the school systems. Thesenpolicies have changed the curriculum and routine at Seminary. Some changes for the better and some for the worse, but no matter what, S.I'l.S. has taken . . .

swam i l Like all the preschool children, Sherry Hood presents the picture of innocence as she poses for the camera. Moving forward. Two words that are a product of hard work and great effort. At Seminary this year we did move forward. Kin- dergarten was the major move. What was the reason for the addition of public preschool education? The answer was chil- dren - all sizes, backgrounds, and behaviors. These young stu- dents enjoyed an exciting and adventurous year. Field trips to local organizations and busi- nesses, visits from community servants, and art projects were just a few of the various activities S.A.C. kindergarteners experi- enced. They also leamed coop- eration and consideration with other classmates and functional abilities needed for their future school years. Locally, kindergar- ten proved a useful tool in pre- paring these youngsters for life. The kindergarten teachers were talented in many different areas. Photography was just one of Mrs. Thames' talents. Sheehan's tree farm was one ofthe many places the kindergarten visited. Here Mrs. Knights class gives a big smile.
