Students crowd cit ovol cireo during lunch With many seniors being unscheduled during the afternoon classes, and leaving WlVlHS at lunch, the concession area filled with juniors and sophomores. Cafeteria lines continued to extend into the hall, but once the lines were inside the cafeteria, the con- cession stand was opened by lvlr. Griggs and students purchased soft drinks, candy, ice cream, or chips. With the inception of the smoking ring this year, students congre- gated in the oval behind the annex to snack, study, smoke, or relax with friends.

School life offers wide spectrum of octivities To offer a wider perspective in education, new courses were de- veloped to entice students to re- main in school. English modules of- fered a new course each nine weeks. Sociology let students study more about peer groups, as well as family relations. Semester craft courses in art permitted students opportunity for self expression. The smoking ring ended many years of students' complaints and days of suspensions. Yet with all teachers and adminis- trators tried to do, some students still looked for any excuse to get out of class. Hey, please, I gotta go to... Whether the restroom, library, nurse, or office, some students just had to go.
