Jane, said Dick, Do you know What ' s New? Books, lockers, homework, dances? No, definately not. Those are the old things about school. On Sept. 8, 1986, the first day of school, what did we see? Soph- omores everywhere running around looking for what was new. Putting them in trash cans wasn ' t new, but the people themselves were. There are always a few new teachers Andy Haas, Bob New- berry, Cynthia Nowitz, Frank Pal- menteri. Ester Wallace, and some- one in the counselin g. Norma By Diana Christensen Preston. The school decided to advance its technology by adding a com- puter lab in R2. The most obviously new thing at VPHS was the spirit. We had twice as many cheerleaders than last year. There were 43 all to- gether. The students also had a better attitude about school spirit. When we passed by the student center we noticed how friendly and inviting it looked inside. The new furniture and carpet arrange- ment in school colors gave it a homey feeling. We all felt safer when on the corner of Taft and Nichols, for a stoplight controlled the taffic and made it safer to walk to and from school especially for the students atCV. Extending the front driveway was designed to help control traf- fic because students could be dropped off for school in a variety of places. Should the 25 year old pepper tree been taken out for this reason? This year we had five new for- eign exchange students, Michelle Perez, Sylvia Peris, Dorthe Thom- sen, Jens Lerno and Jimmy Van Loo. In way of teacher gossip Mrs. Moore adopted a new baby and Mr. Johnson got married to Miss Pendleton. A third bouncer, Clair Ross, was added this year along with a Bouncer Mobile. All these things were new at the start of the year. By graduation everything at school seemed old, but our fu- tures look brand new. New furniture, carpeting, and paint cheer up the student center in hopes that the students would feel it was their own. What ' s New?
