BEFORE 8:15: time between arrival, homeroom filled with activity Arriving via a crowded city bus, emerging from the frustration of being involved in a traffic jam, or approaching the building on foot, students prepared to follow the routine of a new school day. Activity centered around the book store, at Exit 5, or in the cafeter- ia where pupils waited for school to begin. Suddenly, the 8 o ' clock bell rang, and students crowded into stairways, discard- ed unnecessary articles at their lockers, and fought their way through the congested hallways to home- room, contemplating an incomplete theme assignment, the dissection of a frog, Mr. Brown ' s U.S. History dramatizations.

CLASSES: new homeroom procedure begins daily schedule Each school day was initiated with a homeroom period which convened from 8:15 until 8:30. (This time change was schedul- ed to accomodate a larger enrollment and more double period classes.) After the P.A. announcements were read and homeroom procedures were completed, students passed to their respective classes as IBM programs dictated. While the Viet Nam conflict continued, college unrest was perpetuated, and a vital senatorial campaign was per- sued by Hartke and Roudebush, pupils were taught the fundamental con- cepts of education which will equip them with the ability to combat the growing complexities of tommorrow ' s society.
