Looking back on time is inevitable as all beings hold memories. Moments, whether cherished or better forgotten, linger in the hearts and minds of those who experience life. Even moments of an academic year are worth remembering. As soon as one year crossed the finish line, another left the starting block much sooner than most people realized. Summer school brought students to classrooms only two days after the 89-day vacation began. Students found themselves in four-hour sessions for six weeks. Some concentrated on receiving credits while others hoped for shorter upcoming schedules. Concentration was easily broken in late June when the first of many new game rooms opened its doors. Students entered the magical world of video games, spending summer-earned money and spare time hoping to reach a high score. Money was also being spent by the school district. Construction of the L-wing walkway cover began in mid- summer. The long awaited structure cost 367,347 to complete. In August, a new administration prepared to greet 2036 students on the 27th. Bob Denton replaced Jack Gunlock as principal. James Kerby took the role of senior principal and Elbert Black was named freshman principal. Best, Worst Moments Reflec Memories of Chan in Year

Academic deficiency forms were distributed a few weeks before report cards to inform parents of their child's progress. The parking lot was blockaded so that there was only one entrance and one exit during school hours. Absence excuses were presented directly to teachers rather than the attendance office, and new student ID's showed what periods the owner was to attend school. Some felt the new policies were too strict while others believed that they were needed long ago. The administration change seemed to fall hardest on seniors Seniors had not experienced an administration change since they had entered three years earlier. Administration policies were not as difficult a change to freshmen as others. One enlightening change for the first year members was that students from all three middle schools united to support one mascot. Friday mornings were filled with pep rally spirit as always. One slight difference to football spirit was that the team members wore nickname T-shirts the day before a game. Homecoming was the biggest fall event next to football itself. Girls wondered if they would be asked to the dance while boys wondered where to order a mum. Football season ended on Thanksgiving weekend but spirits were lifted by the upcoming Christmas season. i However Christmas decorations were fewer at school and the usual flocked Christmas tree was substituted b, a sleigh.
