Slab of concrete becomes beautiful AS WHS SWUNG into the 70's, among the noticeable changes on campus was the addition of the new student facility, the mall. DEFINED AS a public area often set with shade trees and designed as a promenade or as a pedestrian walk, mall was a word that was on everyone's lips as the area became a reality. THE BRAINCHILD of Mr. Bill jones, the mall was financed through available funds and money from an immensely successful student drive. Pouring of the concrete took place in December, and al- though students were happy to see that the work had gone so quick- ly, some expressed dismay at the results. Later when the trees, shrubs, and flowers were planted and concrete benches were add- ed, their skepticism turned to pride. AT A SPECIAL Sunday workday, all interested students met to help plant the shrubs and place the benches. A special tree planting cere- mony preceded the workday. DESIGNED to take some of the traffic from the patio area, the mall gave students a place to chat or study, especially on days when irri- gation or rain made the lawns unusable. .-l iq 21 -.I

Fans of Ed Shapiro give support to his campaign for president of the junior class. P.S. He won. Signs important as candidates vie for votes WINTER IS COMING so vote for someone who is warm and cuddly read the sign. That someone was Richard Dobson, who was running for vice-presi- dent of the freshman class. Frosh evidently felt that Debbie Tanner filled the bill a little better and elect- ed her. HOWEVER, most candidates agreed that advertis- ing paid off in the spirited class elections held in ear- ly October. Getting up early, candidates arrived at school, sleepy-eyed but with posters in hand as they searched for the most advantageous places to hang their signs. BECAUSE there was no assembly to introduce the candidates, signs played an important part in the elections.
