Battle cries resounded from room 224, and the Confederate flag was waving wildly. As I passed the doorway I almost ran into a tall, bearded gentleman in a top hat who was shaking his head and muttering something about the South rising again. 'Double — redouble — three hearts — four no trump —five hearts — I had obviously wandered into the Math wing. I peeked around the door just as the computer was bidding five no trump. Suddenly an earth-shaking explosion rocked the building. I dashed upstairs to the Science wing, just in time to see an evil-smelling, mushroom-shaped cloud rising from the place where Chemistry rooms used to be. Evacuation seemed to be proceeding well, so I left and went down to the second floor. There was an awful commotion in that wing — a crou d of teachers was arguing bitterly about the procedures involved in piling out a K form. I desperately needed peace and quiet. Finally, in the new addition I found a tiny room with no one in it who could make noise. So it had a glass door? With only DE’s manikins for company, I settled down to read my Spanish assignment. 17

North Central Committee Evaluates School PRINCIPAL: Berlil M. Johnson. This year students saw the results of a 2.9 million dollar school bond which was passed by voters two years ago. On the south side of the high school, the new addition was completed and ready for use. This 375 thousand dollar addition contained rooms for Business Education classes. Art classes, a Distributive Education area, a Drafting room and an extended Graphic Arts Department. New rooms were also built in the once wide-open activity area in the basement. These included storage areas for the Music and Drama Departments, an Orchestra room, a health room for the Phy. Ed. classes, a room for the visually handicapped and other multi-purpose areas for the Student Council and extra-curricular activities. Visiting Park for three days in February were 30 members of the North Central Evaluation Committee, which visits schools at regular intervals to renew their accreditation. The Committee observed all subject matter areas as well as special areas such as guidance, student activity programs and instructional facilities. They also asked students for opinions on school programs. Final evaluations were then drawn from these observations and presented to the faculty. ASSISTANT PRINCIPAL: Frank J. Miller. ASSISTANT PRINCIPAL: Andrew L. Droen. 19
