sick children, donate 120 units of blood, and raise their voices to motivate the girls’ basketball

class preferences, students were really very much alike. Per¬

Students shared many of the same difficulties which pro¬
vided a common ground. Despite the new municipal lot across
the street from the school, parking still remained a problem.
Despite the school board’s promise of building renovations,

crowded with the addition of a larger than usual freshman
class.

in the basement. Lunch was provided in paper bags and restroom privileges had to
be earned. Students thought of the place as a prison and most tried to avoid it at all
costs. Although A.C.C. was scorned by the student body,
tardies went down and so did much of the unruly behavior Ki ll part of scliccl did yeti
