( tudent Life is radical enough that you may i think it is impossible to describe, from Home- coming, state finals, Vari- ety Show and Powder Puff Football, to honor society initiations, plays, fashions, jobs, and even Home, Sweet Home. In the midst of it all there is the realization that with so much to do, how can a student do it all? That in itself is a radical decision. Toma stunned students during his two-day visit with his presentations of drugs. Here he ad- dressed reporters at a press conference.

eparture Radical enough, some traditions stay the same, unyielding and unchanging r ranted this may have been a radical year, but some things just did not change that much. Some things did not L B need to change. For instance, the ever-popular football was still the same — awesome. Their skill did not diminish; they even got bet- ter. The same was true for academics at Warren Central — excellent. Of course, always a departure from the norm. One day Mrs. Susan Grenda, new dean of instructional services, said to a bunch of kids, Let ' s form an athletic decathlon team and see what we can do in competi- tion against other schools. Two weeks later, Warren came in second in a county- wide contest, with senior whiz Mike Sig- mond winning individual honors. Wouldn ' t you say that was radical? New teachers appeared in many of the classrooms, 15 to be exact, but the qual- ity of instruction stayed the same. Snacks were still sold in the cafeteria line; however, this year less groans were heard about the fact that it took so long to go through the line. What was radical one year, became mundane the next. The roof still dripped. Buckets still ap- peared in the hallways. That could change and no one would complain. But Harry and the other custodians were still there to clean up the mess. The same complaints could be heard about too small lockers, too much home- work, too little time to sleep, no date for Friday night, no money for a date if you had one anyway. Assistant Principal Clifford Gates, who was retiring too, still told his awful jokes. Sometimes remaining the same was okay. Not everything was meant to be radical. Studying was definitely a must but everyone needs a break and seniors Tracy Seyfreid and Dana Lisle take one. Performance was the key and senior Jeff Clark practices, then performs and finally plays. m openin
