New Improved N JL 1 ew and Improved . . . what better way could this year be described? The building itself literally reeked of newness as many major improvement projects took place this summer. From the walls which were sandblasted and then resprayed with “sticky stuff' to new carpet and linoleum to a new animal cage which housed an intimidating snake and several birds, the projects were a definite improvement. Jennifer Allan could frequently be seen (or heard) trying to get Klinger (her pet cockateil) housed in the facility to wolf w his- tle. “He doesn’t remember me anymore.’ Jennifer complained. The library system was also upgraded this year. Using the bar code system each student and book was given a number and the library officially became “computerized”. Halls and classrooms quickly filled up w ith new students eager to gain new knowledge on “old stuff.” Not just sophomores but new students from local cities and all over the world. New faces behind desks and in places of high status were common too. The teaching staff was enhanced by seven new teachers. Mr. Merrill, science department; Mrs. Ruston. social science department: Miss Benson, English department; Mr. Lewis, art department; Mr. Hitchcock, math department; Mr. Burton, math department; and Mrs. Krebbs. Business department. And. of course, Mr. Dennis Poulson. principal (a used vice principal from Provo High) and Mr. Phil Bird, vice principal (former psychology teacher) who brought fresh ideas to the administration. Although there seemed to be a lot that was new. it was easy to realize that it was the same old pride and spirit that filled the school in former years that was going to make this new year an improvement on all those past.

One of the more intellectual sophomores found registration to be simply “a pain. Others stood with bewildered looks and gaping jaws at the confusion. Registration Doing it all over again a X August 24th, the first official day of school, came to the dread of most students as they found themselves registering for the coming school year. Registering was easy — as long as you didn’t have to change any classes. New faces, new clothes, proving you’re pro- perly immunized, yearbook pictures, add and drop cards, locker assignments. lunch passes, confusing schedules, activity cards, getting reaquainted, and a few other minor details added up to a hectic day. Seniors had the registering process down pat but finding the classes needed to graduate that were taught during available class periods proved to be difficult. The juniors displayed quite a bit of unity. So much, in fact, that requests for twenty-four lockers or more in a row were not uncommon. It’s good that they had this moral support because the “single file line that was seven bodies wide could have easi- ly dismembered several P.T.A. ladies, student council members, and faculty who shut down registration for an hour for lunch. “I’ve been standing in this line all morning,’’ groaned one exhausted junior. One of the more intellectual sophomores found registration to be simply “a pain. Others stood with bewildered looks and gaping jaws at the confusion. Although it was a new technique for some, almost every one made it through the emotional trauma of registering.
