Focus Your Lens Time to rise and shine this year was half an hour earlier. The new time schedule pushed the beginning of school up to 8 a.m. and ended it at 2:40 p.m. Changes were evident every- where, from a new addition to auto body class, to an abund- ance of student teachers, to a more conservative Homecoming parade. Enthusiasm was pump- ed into the student body by the energies of Warrior mascot, Henry Sabetti, as the football season exploded into state rank- ings. New times for early release emerged along with fewer field trips as a result of a 70 percent gas allotment reduction. Inflation hit as school lunches went up from 65 cents to 75 cents. WEDM, our student radio sta- WEDM, our student radio sta- tion located in Walker Career Center, has a new director, Mr. Tim Renshaw, and more than a share of problems. Students missed the lunch time rock and finally, after weeks of meetings, music again was piped into the cafeteria. The Owl and Wigwam staffs won more awards than they could carry home, with both pub- lications receiving 4-Star All- Americans, and The Owl re- ceiving the national Gallup Award for editorial leadership. Security in the parking lot im- proved, and the whole school joined in raising money for the Jana Shisler fund for a former student who was injured in a tragic accident at I.U. Both good and bad features appeared in the picture at War- ren, as we tried to examine all the angles. A woman ' s place.

Shoot And Rewind Time and space can be captur- ed only for a moment as a variety of extracurricular activities and academic possibilites flashed by students. One major change facing War- ren, as well as schools all over the nation, is a declining school enrollment. The 1979 fall enrollment was down 7.4 percent from 1978, and that trend, if continued, could re- sult in a loss of almost 3000 stu- dents in the township by 1983. Such aspects as live births, housing patterns, upward mobil- ity from city to county and the threat of desegregation or white flight are all a part of the problem. Another interesting fact about Warren students is that many pupils move in and out of our sys- tem during a year ' s time. From fall 1978 to fall 1979, more than 5000 students either moved in or out of our school district. What does this mean for War- ren? A committee is studying changes to be made as a result of the trend to smaller enroll- ment. Possible changes may in- volve the closing of several ele- mentaries, a junior high, and possibly regrouping of some age groups. The annual Open House found a record number of parents coming to see displays of student work and participation and eating chili and talking to teachers. Protecting students from cold, rain and snow, the new walkway between the high school and the career center was completed, and a new student center was re- modeled. Some things manage to change creating a re-evaluation of the status quo. But time and space can be stopped only by the camera, and the pace goes on, considering all the angles. Top ten tunes. In the midst of all the uproar about WEDM ' s programming, senior DJ Dorian Ursery reviews his show before air time. 6 Opening All the Angles
