t i+1 I. -m E f llllt ' 'F 5 , by Judy Jones l've been here tor three years, and l think l can tell a little about the school. The year began like no other. School was no longer the center ot every students atten- tion. That is not to say students weren't dedicated to VPHS, just that there were other activities that held importance. Legislation had been passed to keep seniors on campus tor at least tive periods a day. But it a senior could pull the right strings, he would only have to stay tour periods and take ROP or Work Exper- ience tor the other. Because ot work, school, sports, triends, and homework students had to change to tultill the demands placed on them. But they aid ii. VPHS students change to tit the times and so did the school - receiving a fresh coat ot paint, changing the parking lot, adding more coke machines, and rear- arious Changes Made ranging the sophomore lockers. The l982-83 seniors had built a planter which was ugly Cl-low ugly was it?D. lt was so ugly that the sophomores didnlt even know what it was. CConversation overheard X '... but how come the seniors have a smoking area? , asked a sophomore caught smokingj Cnty sophomores used it as a place to sit tor lunch. The Storer Cable Company constructed a large tower between the gym and the round building, which can be seen from just about anywhere on campus. Students from other schools who saw it had an un- controllable urge to climb to the top and decorate it . The school installed spikes to keep the students ott, but this wasn't enough. And so they built a brick wall to keep everyone away. See how tar students will go to leave their marks. See how far we've come. Now Wa tch us! We 're On The Move! 'TACH friends rides home.

QQ'-. Mom says she never got away with half as much as we did. And that school was the center of her and her friends' lives. The boundaries of the average student have ex- panded over the last 20 years. Then the school had no problem with closed campus. But a lot has changed in these 20 years. lt's no wonder the ad- ministration had to add another bouncer. Qne just wasn't enough any more. Because one of your friends had a lunch pass and could drive past Linda Edgmon in the park- ing lot, did not mean he could pick you up out in front of the school without Glenda Penix catching you. And when it came to the weekend, it was no biggie to drive 20 miles to the beach, two hours to Trestles to surf or six hours to ski in Mammoth. The weekends were for having fun. But even during the week the gang might ditch after lunch and hit Newport, because it was Htoo nice of a day to spend at school. QConversation overheard ' T... Yeah, l have a test fifth period, but the sun's out. Lets go to 56th, said a senior.l The times have changed and the boundaries have expanded. No one can stop VPT-lS's students from Moving,
