And a tie against Northside in the traditional N orthside!South- side game helped a lot-a whole lot. New policies were abundant this year. One of the least concern to the students was the new homeroom- it was second period. The most popular policy this year was the free dayw program. When a student completed forty-five consecutive days of school he was entitled to a day out of school to do as he pleased. Pretty neat, L huh? There were, of course, pros and cons to this plan. Would it really help attendance? According to Mr. Robert Nix, it did. Many students felt ripped off, though, by another policy. Three tardies equaled one ab- sence. This Would ruin their forty-five day record, causing them to go longer than usual with no free day. There were two other unpopular situations, one was the quiet study hall. N o more talking, eating, or yelling. Now students had to do some- thing dreadful-study! Running almost neck-and-neck in popularity with the quiet study hall were the new vending machines. The snack bar was taken out completely-goodies and all. Only two coke machines, two candy machines, and one milk machine re- mained. These alone, along with the cafeteria, had to give sustenance for many a stomach. Many new teachers along with Qcontinued on page 101,

THE BELL RINGS . . . Ccontinuedj EE E25 Kb K , J EQ. D21 E215 Elll ll 3 10 many new classes were added this year. One such class was individual sports. Golf, instructed by Coach Norris Byers, and ten- nis, with Miss Judy Jones as teacher, were started for both boys and girls. A pottery class, taught by Miss Pat Baskin, and trade and industrial science, a new work- study program with Mr. Benny Deaver as the instructor, were initiated this year. I.D. cards were issued to all sopho- mores. Every student claimed My picture looks just awful! Class rings were cho- sen, pictures were taken, and yearbooks were ordered. All was a sign that school was on its way. The automobile-coming, going, lunch morning, afternoon, juniors, seniors-and sophomores? Well, maybe some. All cars made the rush for McDonald's, Burger Chef, Hardeels, Wendy's, Taco Hut, and others for that delightful fast-food service taste. It started the first day of school and the spirit never died down. However, the fair, with its newfan- gled rides, came and went, but quite a few heads and stomachs remained upside down. Heads and stomachs stayed overturned during the presidential debates and elec- tion. Thatls all anyone heard about last fall. Ford, Carter, Dole, Mondale. These names were mentioned quite frequently, probably because they were on the presi- dential and vice-presidential ballots. Carter won but what a race! Many students were actively involved in the campaign, but even those who weren't were quite de- fcontinued on page 121 9 f Mud, rain, and dark skies agreed with the mood of most students on that very first day ofschool. Practically everyone had to awaken in the dark, get ready in the dark and then come to school and trudge through the slosh in the parking lot.
