facelift. Mr. Douglas, Mr. Harper and many others diligently worked through the summer to improve various facilities.
The gym had three major changes. The weight room has been expanded, and new trophy case (thanks to the mother's committee) has accompanied the renovated lobby, and new lights were installed. Lamar Gardens
has a new appearance also. Randolph has also been re- arranged a bit. The bookstore has been moved to the basement of Randolph and the old book- store is now a classroom. Ran-
dolph basement also had air conditioning added as well as two new publication rooms. The
The computer room has been expanded in two ways. It is now twice as big and a new computer
has been added. The public rela- tions office is now across from Mr. Zimmer's office and the Dire- ctor of Day Student Services is
now in Pendalton 106. To top all this off, the infirmary has been revived a bit.
The time and effort, not to mention the money that has been put into these improvements is immeasurable. Let's have re· spect for these new addi~ions. They were done for our use and if we want more as such we must
show our respect for their time and effort.

Although you are most important to please, others care very much too. Your family, teachers, faculty, and friends should also be taken. into great consideration. Your family has spent a very respectable
sum for you to come and receive a quality education; scholastically and socially. Let's keep that in mind when you're about to perform some deed of mishap. Your teachers and faculty have also put in. unimagineable time towards preparing your .academic schedule, and
