IO M A school year divided into thirds and called the quarter system, new poli- cies decided by two new administrators and a revamped time schedule greeted students just a year ago. Despite the administrations efforts to start school in a calm and orderly fash- ion, mixed up schedules and a confused student body made organized pursuit of business impossible. New courses and quarter provisions for existing ones presented scheduling diffi- culties. The utilization of a computer to facilitate matters proved to be less than satisfactory, as scads of schedules labeled See Counselor deluged Ms. Toody Byrd's office two weeks prior to the opening of Westlake's doors. Many students' proposed schedules included conflicts, all of which required reworking by hand. Paperwork filled the first few class days for teachers and students alike, creating questions, confusion and restlessness. New manners in which to keep less obe- dient students in class and accounted for began. No student walked the halls with- out a pass, smokers needed signed con- sent from their parents to indulge, and all foodstuffs stayed in the confines of the cafeteria. No shouting or disruptive activ- ity lasted long as principal Norman Flee- man and vice-principal Fiobert Thomas patrolled the halls and commons area. With the opening of l-lill Country Middle O School came two new busses to helpi transport students to their proper cam- puses on realigned timetables. - DiAnna McGill
