For athletes the modified athletic code prescribed more stringent penalties for chemical abuse and fighting. As chemical abuse coordinator. Mrs. Joan Eggspuehler worked with Mr. Jim Hamilton to enforce the new rules.

The first to graduate with four years under Dr. Johnson, the senior class brought the school together with a freshman-senior cookout. a levy luncheon, and a faculty breakfast organized by the seniors.
