People on the Move Several students and teachers were on the move in 1977. Be the direction, north, south, east, or west, the distance 10 miles or 125, it made no difference, students and staff members had places to go and people to meet. ln pursuit of varied and interesting learning experiences which could help students understand ideas discussed in class, teachers took students on field trips. Spanish and French language students competed in Language Day, March 10, at Kansas State College at Pittsburg. Two school buses and the mini bus carried Mr. Dan Brown, Mr. Jim Heath, and approximately '75 students to Pittsburg, Kansas. At K.S.C.P. students competed in events such as: poetry interpretation, prose interpretation, grammar proficiency, sight reading, and reading comprehension in their respective languages. The hours of practice paid off as French students captured 20 of 36 possible medals in French events, Spanish students brought back 11 medals. Pandemonium broke out on the three 1. Federalism students lounge on the steps of the State Capitol. The students sat in on a session of the Kansas House of Representatives and toured the Capitol building. lack Reardon, Mayor of Kansas City, Kansas visited the Federalism class one fourth hour and gave his views on the city money needs vs. state allocation of funds. 2. Mr. lim Heath keeps a watchful eye on Spanish students on their way to Language Day at Kansas State College at Pittsburg. Robin Lang sips a Pepsi, many snacks were brought along to munch on the trip. The picture was taken on the way to Pittsburg which accounts for the relative calm of the scene. Cookies and paper wads flew back and forth on the way back as students celebrated their victories. I8 The Pieces hour trip back to Kansas City as students celebrated the thrill of victory.

Students and Staff Survive Enrollment The ultimate test of any school staff came in late April, some called it chaos, but its official name was enrollment. Juniors and sophomores spent several days in their homerooms in an attempt to organize their class schedules for the '77-'78 school year. Whether or not those days of shuffling courses were well spent was determined by fate in the form of the first letter of a student's last name. After schedules were tentatively approved came the big test which lasted two days. Classes were dismissed early for enrollment and the gym was set up to accommodate the several tables required for the process. Once the student arrived at the gym the first step was to pick up the tentative schedule of courses he had made up. Second , the student went to the teachers who taught the courses he wanted and got a cumputer card for the course that teacher taught. After collecting all his course cards he had his cards checked over and left. Sounds incredibly simple, right? Wrong, there were several possible snags in the process. The major problem being that some courses filled up quickly leaving the student to do some rearranging on his schedule. Everyone survived the procedure, unfortunately many tentative schedules did not. If sophomores, juniors, and some staff members were confused after having been through the process the year before , imagine the freshmens first thoughts. Freshmen also made tentative class schedules and were bussed to the T. H. S . auditorium to experience arena enrollment first hand. Counselors, staff members, and some students were there to help them out. The freshmen too survived the process, but for some their first encounter with T . H. S . was to say the least bewildering. 31 Dba we -Y l le 1. Several T.H.S. students helped enroll the bewildered members of the class of '80. Steve Hyde, pictured, offered bargain rates on elevator passes, freshmen were also given the option of paying now or later. 2. Students wishing to enroll in Music courses consult Terri Christopher. Freshmen wanting Biology courses are helped by David Wood. 3. Students introduced themselves via signs, as the day wore on, though, more and more signs were made. Many had nothing to do with enrollment, for example some invited students to enroll in such imaginary courses as Vandalism I and Vandalism ll. The Pieces 1 9
