The school was not entirely strange to the freshmen as they had attended an orientation program the previous day. Because of a schedule which was adopted several years ago that enables the freshmen to register at their grade schools before they graduate, it was not necessary for them to go through all the details of registration. The older students, upon their return to school, noticed many changes and improvements about the school grounds and the building itself. Even the freshmen, as they came up the walk to the building, could not help noticing the handy bike walk which led to the new bike racks by the south gym door. Several of the rooms were redecorated during the summer, including the library, office, art room, Mr. Ridinger's room and Miss Raymond's room. The new mural in the principal's office also attracted a great deal of attention. The most important improve- ment, however, was the new equip- ment in the science department. T he chemistry and physics rooms, having been completely remodeled, enabled students to work in well equipped laboratories. New experi- ment desks, along with exhaust hoods, storage cases, and charts helped to make those courses much more interesting. The biological lectures were improved by the pur- chase of a new invention called a micro-projector. lt is no longer necessary for biology students to strain their eyes over their text- books looking at diagrams because the new micro-projector enlarges images on a screen. Another change at Vifest High. not in the building itself, but in the course of study, was the addi- tion of four new subjects. Spanish, which had not been ottered for several years, personal typing. radio and drama, and blueprint reading were the new courses. FRIQSHMEN ENTERING SCHOOL
