IMC Closed Doors: There is a Reason The 1ST and 3RD floor doors of the library were closed in the winter of 1975. The doors were closed ‘‘to direct traffic patterns for door checks and to assist teachers who have classes in the library,” according to Mrs. Laura Taylor, IMC Coordinator. The doors were closed with the approval of the principal and of the fire chief, who had to make sure there were enough exits in case of a fire. With the doors closed and the 2ND floor door monitored, the number of stolen books has decreased. When asked if she thought the 1ST and 3RD floor doors would ever be opened Mrs. Taylor said, “I really don’t know. | expect not in the foreseeable future.” Riss 1 — Dan Deeg relaxes in the library. 2 — A favorite “hide-out’’ among the students is between the racks of books. 3 — School service worker, Andrea Heller, puts books away. 4 — Mrs. Taylor, IMC Coordinator. 5 — Mr. Schreiber, IMC Audio Visual Media Specialist. 6 — Jack Datt indulges ina book. 7 — Mrs. Wells, IMC Aide; Mrs. Gaard, IMC Secretary; Mrs. Aspen, IMC Aide; Mrs. Miller IMC Aide.

SECRETARIES High School Days ... 1 — Mrs. Steveken. 2 — Mrs. Scheibel. 3 — Mrs. Henry. 4 — Mrs. Johnson. 5 — Mrs. Haugen. 6 — Mrs. Klooz. 7 — Mrs. Morgan. 8 — Mrs. Rover. Our secretaries were asked to comment on the things that are different now compared to when they were in high school. Here are some of their varied responses: MRS. HAUGEN: “Today’s students are allowed more choices and they assume more responsibility for their future than the student did when | was in high school.” | MRS. MORGAN: “It’s basically the same today. | went to Sibley only a few years ago.” MRS. SCHEIBEL: “Because we had different standards then than they do today, students looked down on | girls and boys who held hands while walking down the hall during school.” MRS. ROVER: “Cars were not so readily available. This, | feel, eliminated many of the drinking, drug, and other problems of today.” MRS. JOHNSON: “There were no schedule changes — you put up with the class or the teacher even if you weren't crazy about the whole situation.” MRS. STEVEKEN: “We only wore nylons with dresses on special occasions. They were NOT inexpensive.” MRS. KLOOZ: “It wasn’t so free then. We had to stay right in class.” MRS. HENRY: ‘Our social life was going to the corner drugstore.”
