dw Rock-n-Roll Is Y, . . - V Still Number Gne As THS Cranks Up The Tunes Music played a big part in our lives outside of school this year. Whenever the opportunity arose we'd crank up the tunes. There were many different types of music popular this year. Disco was tfinallyj on the way down as good ole rock and roll continued to be the favorite of most teens. Artists and groups such as The Eagles, Fleetwood Mac, Rush, AC 1 DC, and Bruce Springsteen all hit the charts with new albums and record sales. Western music also became quite popular this year on the wave of a nation-wide western craze. Mickey Gilley, johnny Lee, and, of course, Willie Nelson songs could frequently be heard. It seemed the parking lots were always flooded with a loud mixture of music coming 20 Detours from several different cars. One might have heard Black in Black QACI DCD blaring over the radio from one car while at the same time hearing Pat Bennetar's Hit Me With Your Best Shot floating out of the windows of another car. Whatever the music, it was a constant competition to see whose tape deck, cassette deck, or radio would be the loudest. Several students became involved in music outside of school, also. Some played in bands such as the group that played at the Valentine's Dance. Others took up music casually and played just for friends. Also several IMPACT students took on individual music orientated projects during the second semester.

Noise, Confusion Interrupt Classes, Construction Changes Our Campus As students filed into the halls early last fall for the first day of school, so began the first day of construction. Hammers pounded, machines revved, and workmen were everywhere as the face to Tivy's campus underwent major renovations. Funds for the project were appropriated th rough a bond election held last year. These funds went towards several different areas of construction. Probably the largest and most looked forward to new building was the Fine Arts Center which went into the area between the gyms and the main building. This was to house a band hall, a library, a choir room, a drama room, and an art room. The band hall was a much needed addition to our campus as the use of Peterson junior High's band hall brought many complaints from ba nd members because of the dangerous drive back to Tivy and the lack of sufficient parking places left in the crowded lots. Also being added to the campus was a Math wing. This one story structure was under construction in the area between the main building and the science hall. A new Auto Mechanics building was begun behind the science hall parking lot. This would house the Tivy mechanics classes and their projects. Ending the perennial freshman elevator pass joke was the real thing. An elevator went up at the west end of the science hall in an effort to aid handicapped students. Though a little distracting at the beginning of the year, we all became used to the construction after a while and looked forward to the new buildings and additions it would bring to our campus. fi ti .
