ith feelings of apprehension and anticipa-
tion, new faces wandered the hallways of
the middle school, not knowing what to
expect. The sixth graders came to the middle school
because construction a of the new Altavista
Elementary School @ f. B Was not completed
in time to accommo- ¥en 7 Cate them.
Meanwhile, several | changes took place
in the faculty of the Wwe middle and high
schools. New math eaiaE ‘MIs. Andrea Hundley and
Mrs. Theresa Moon, were added to the roster, along
with Mrs. Myrna Masca who took over chemistry and
physics. With the retirement of Ms. Margaret Dowdy,
Mrs. Deborah Burnette became head Suidance COun-
selor. Also, the middle school saw the addition of
numerous teachers, which altered its environment.

Despite the often popular belief that teenagers are
apathetic, students showed their spirit by forming a
, new pep club which sponsored Spirit Day every Friday.
q Members were encouraged to wear orange and black
and also received a if discount at home
» games. To promote #4 spirit even further,
clubs designed ac- 2 ps tivities Such as
Spirit Week which in- — creased participa-
tion in all School func- Ce tions, while allow-
}, ing students the chance fs show their own colors.
Students craving an academic challenge found them-
selves in new honors and advanced classes, with
teachers expecting more than ever. With all of the
changes, the students waited for the barrage of events
_ and responsibilities to cease. Even from the beginning,
i faculty and students were waiting "Till the End of Time."

hether working, playing, or studying, stu-
dents never seemed to have enough time to
meet life's many demands. Each day brought
responsibilities both in and out of school. Some stu-
dents were in- ee volved in band,
sports, or other ) i school related activi-
} for a part-time job
ties. Others opted
and extra casn. ™ Regardless of the
decision, students found that Septem-
Der SOON {Umea , into December, and
December quickly became June. Touchdowns _ re-
placed slam dunks, which in turn became homeruns.
Summer was especially busy with students attending
Girls' State, various Camps and academies, or hanging
out with friends . Before the circle began again, stu-
dents found they had vety little "Time on Their Hands."
