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.
