Laying up the ball was the main concern of faculty player Don Sage, as he outmanuevers Cub ' s Bill Buckner for two, much needed points to tie up the game. From the bottom up, faculty basketball star Rich Vallicelli seems to think that ' s the way to go, as he breaks away from a lay up shot, during the first quarter of the game. While being guarded by Cub ' s Bruce Sutter, faculty player Bill Babington takes a jumper for two mo re points, as Cliff Peterson and Bill Buckner watch on. 75

No doubt about it— times are changing. Each day brings changes from one day to the next. We ' ve grown up and come a long way since 1959, advancing in academics with many new honor ' s program courses, including acceler- ated offerings in English, Science, Math and Home Economics. The Physical Education depart- ment has also seen changes through- out the years. Classes have been changed to co-ed, with students choosing their own electives; quite a difference from the basic schedule offered in 1959. In the classroom, various field trips, films and speakers have replaced the conventional fifty minutes of lecture and tests. New sports teams have evolved since the first few years, including girls ' competition. In addition, groups and clubs have changed as new ideas in society have changed. Wherever one walks through the halls, there are reflections of each day of school that has kept up with the times. Explaining and demonstrating the techniques of automotive repairs is one of the main objectives of autos instructor Donald Ball as he tells the class some information.
