Always helpful, Mr. Jerry Daniel directs a lost stu- dent to her class during the first week of school. 126 School Board, Administration Cody's seventeen years ends with his retirement T he end of an era, perhaps. lt seemed that way at least for Clark. As the first four year graduates left Northside district, so did the man who had run the district throughout the school's history. With sore row, the students took the resignation of the district superintendent, Mr. Edmund Cody, ending his 17 years at the post. He had accomplished his goals. As he put it, Northside district now has the finest peo- ple in education. Though Cody would be missed from his post, his succesor, Mr. Jack Jordan, was welcomed as the new superintendent. Welcomed even more, however, at least by the students was the approval of the building extra classrooms and an addi- tional parking lot. Overcrowdedness, especially in the parking lot, became a big problem inspite of the relative newness of the school. After many problems with il- :inf xv rgwsswg- f V fl 5 legal parking, problems with overcrowdn classrooms, and many irrate letters to tl Chronicle, the administration put in a 1 quest to the School Board for the buildii funds. This did not solve the immedia problem, therefore, the administratim limited new parking registration to junic and seniors. This relieved the futu drivers, but the seniors were a little disz pointed with an ineffective immedia solution.

She does not need to do much catching! because it was up to the administrators to know at school events.

the six weeks proc- cat in their course. E money, and getting to know a lit- about the business world. iMany who chose six classes often d a problem with filling all six slots sily. Blow-off classes were ually the solution. For some, the sy course worked to their advan- ge, while others began to cognize theirs as their worst emy. But, no matter, what the course, ether it be mandatory or just a ss to fill a slot, we were all here r learning, regardless if we liked at we had chosen. Kristi Webb Our senior year will be remembered by all of us. Academically this year, teachers haven 't guided us as strongly as before. We have had more inde- pendent study. One thing never changes though. Teachers are still assigning homework and we're not doing it. Karen Westine Senior Clark High School offers a wide variety of courses to prepare us to meet the main challenges of the future. Paul Herrmann Junior Clark academically is one of the most outstanding schools in the sta te. Besides having state ranked students, the teachers were also involved. Miss Zsohar and Mr. Sutton have taken the math team all over Texas. The team has placed first in every contest we went to. Being on the team had made this year more enjoyable. Susan Blumhardt Sophomore One thing that stands out in my mind is the constant repetition from earlier years. That is not to say that all my classes have been the same, but anyone reading this knows what I mean. I 'm speaking of the classes we have all had since 5th grade. There have been a few new twists, but very few. These classes are important but there should be a better way to pres- ent them. Aaron Adams Freshman A dmics l25
