Competing with seniors can be tough, but these juniors make signs, shakers and yell together to capture the spirit stick. Taking a hike through the newly developed state park, Becky Burks, Julie Andrews, and Rachel Reagler enjoy the autumn. To increase excitement for the football team, the band conducts a mini-pep rally in the early morning. 8 New Day

A scene for THE WIZ: Dorothy has just flushed the Wick- ed Witch down to the bowels of the earth. The workers in her sweat shop shed their horrible attire and be- hold, real people. That's the cue for the song. But “Can you feel a brand new day? did not only apply to the witch's servants. We saw a brand new day , too. The seventies passed away and a new decade made its appearance. But even before that, our school and our world were changing. When we first came to school this fall, things were different, if not new. We could no longer use the old parking lot because of construction work on the gymnasium. This was a welcomed change because most stu- dents preferred parking at the Methodist Church or in the bus lot. Of course the most visible change was the construction itself. The new library, now a Media Center, made the old library look like a munchkin. We could hardly sit through an Eng- lish class without hearing the men working on the gym. Everyday brought a new addition to the con- struction, and we all kept up with its progress. The more the building grew, the more the day felt brand new. Accompanying the pop ensemble on his electric guitar, Bobby Hinson plays Summer Nights . A rare thing to see on a Monday morning is a smile as shown by Sandra Watson. New Day 7

I Advances in electronics face Wynne students such as Angela Bailey as they enter the business community. New choral director, Mary Jeff Loewer, rearranges Concert Choir members during one of their manv rehearsals Can't You Feel A Brand New Day Although the construction was the most noticeable change, changes occured inside the school too. Noisy new clocks without second hands and a new bell system that sounded like a smoke alarm took some getting used to. The paint job on the audito- rium and classrooms were needed improvements. Many new faces popped up along with the ninth grade class. The Eng- lish department saw some new addi- tions and re-shuffling. A new assis- tant secretary, Linda Hesse, gave Mrs. Curtner a hand in the office. A couple of unusual students made their appearance, foreign exchange students from Chile and Greece. Even things that were not new seemed better, brighter, and greatly improved. The Student Council's performance was excellent, the Dra- ma Club got off to an earlier start, and the band was sharper than ever. The only deterrents were the econ- omy. But as another song goes the times they are a-changin . New Day 9
