W.H.S. moves in new direction . Important traditions were also broken during the year From the beginning, the 1986-87 school year was full of changes The en- tire organization of the high school was changed, just days before the start of school. The former east and west oftices became the pupil personnel office and the business and attendance office All the room numbers were also changed. Unfortunately, the room numbers on the schedules were not changed; thus, the first few days were quite confusing. A brand new bell schedule went into ef- fect, too. First period began at 7:00 am for the hardy few who wanted to at- tend classes that early, while the major- ity of students began school at 8:00 am. (or second period.) This year all classes were the same length. 54 minutes Therefore, school ended at 2:54, a full eleven minutes earlier than the previous year's dismisal Another change enacted at the star of school concerned the no food in th halls rule. Students were again allower to munch goodies between classes Tht no walkmans rule was also abolishec Because of the large number of studen drivers and limited parking area, sopho mores were not permitted to buy park ing permits.

 Cardinal Pride is a reality” such as its many traditions Although some WHS traditions appear to have little redeem- ing social value, such as toilet-papering the school, senior cut day, and burying the rock, these activities are looked forward to and re- membered for years after graduation. Other traditions at WHS have better-defined pur- poses. Some of these are the sale of spirit links and the four major dances Along with raising money, these activities provide opportunities for students to meet people and have a good time These, too are traditions which will be remembered for many years. The selection of Homecoming Queen, Cardinal King and Queen, and the Valentine King also provide special memories. Homecoming in particular creates a rally of school spirit with the elec- tions, floats, and the pep rally bonfire preced- ing the game, and the dance WHS is proud of its athletic program, and with good reason. The facilities at WHS are excellent, and many teams have captured state titles, such as the gymnastics team. The high school is known for its powerful athletes, and the football and basketball teams are just two examples of WHS's athletic prowess. Although sports are a large part of WHS, learning is what we're all about. Every year WHS has a large number of Ohio's Naitonal Merit Scholars. Worthington has always passed state inspections with flying colors, and offers students a wide variety of courses to choose from and extremely skilled teachers who care about their pupils. Above all, Worthington is a school full of di- versity and activity. The school's large size makes it possible for people to pursue their various interests Students are given indepen- dence and special priviledges. and have shown that they are worthy of the administra- tion's trust. Worthington is truly a school to be proud of. Operigfc
