Classrooms Now Found in Logical Order; “I don’t like the seats in the gym. They’re too hard!” (Yvonne Martin) Though new room numbers con¬ fused students, classrooms in depart¬ ment blocks were somewhat easier to locate. When everyone adjusted to the relocation of offices, music, art, and science departments, he still had to contend with finding the Times room (which was stuffed in a closet), pay phones, janitor rooms, and bath¬ rooms. Study halls occupied the audi¬ torium, old library, and cafeteria. Little changes caused excitement— adding doors to rooms, especially. Showcases and department offices appeared throughout the building. New lockers and computer report cards frustrated Archers. ABOVE —English-Government class takes advantage of the new library during class while working on term papers. The two-hour class spent most of its time doing individual study. UPPER RIGHT —After experiencing the trauma of packing up and moving, Mr. Robert Weber and his biology classes enjoy the benefits of the newly remodeled and enlarged room. RIGHT —Adjusting earphones and taking a few minutes to check pronunciation, the fourth year French class gets ready for a recording session in the new language lab.

Short Mods Help Music, Hurt Lunch “I went a whole week before I learned we had to be in our seats by 8:00! (Jr. girl). Adjusting to a modu¬ lar schedule was quite a chore for returning faculty and students. Chaos prevailed. Come 7:58, everyone flew to classes. Even Mr. Weicker had to ask students which mod it was. Most high schools began modular schedul¬ ing this year, but because South had only half of its rooms, classes ran an hour later into the day. However, stu¬ dents learned to cope with no home¬ room periods and hastily-eaten lunches during 25 minute mods. RIGHT —Waiting restlessly for schedule changes during pre-registration, students watch Mr. Gordon check programs. The mod¬ ular schedule created much confusion for all. BELOW —Ted Hartzler, Scott Laurie, Tom Franke, Nick Stanutz, and Mark Rietdorf make the best of their short lunch. Shortened lunch breaks allow an earlier dismissal.
