CHIEFTAIN
1979
The forty IHers pictured here took some time out-from their summer
activities to do some work in beautifying the school. The Chieftain
would like to thank a l l these students for making such a constructive
effort.
Chieftain gains new format
by Doug Jones
The Chieftuin will be adding
many new attractions to this
year's editions in an effort to
increase its service to the student
body, according to Peter Bessen
and Lori Davison, this year's
coeditors.
. Among these changes will be ,
news articles concerning national
issues which will affect every stu-
dent, such as the decline in the
birth rate. Accompanying these
articles will be an expanded stu-
dent opinion section, where stu-
dents may respond to articles or
voice their concerns.
Another novelty will be the
section for advertisements. Any
student or group will be able to
publish announcements &t >&e
judged fit to print by the editors.
Behind the scene, the Chief-
tain will undergo a major produe
tion change. Fourteen issues will
-
be published this year two more
than in previous years.
The Chieftain will also be in
continuous production, a feature
which not only will help the staff
crank out an i m e every two or
three weeks, but will keep you,
the reader, better informed.
To increase the Chieftains'
utility to the IH student body,
more workers and interested stu-
dents are needed. For anyone
interested in working for the
Chieftain, an organizational
meeting will be held next Tues-
day, September 4 after school.
All students are welcome and
encouraged to attend. Transpox- .
tion is available afterwards.

Attitude must change with building
by Dave Hollister
While most of us were on
vacation or working, a few stu-
dents and administrators were
busy cleaning up the school.
These students wilbgly gave up
their time to improve the school
grounds. It shows that some stu-
dents really have the urge to make
the school better.
In the past there hasn't been
much change from year to year.
This year is a year for change.
The changes, such as the new
lockers in both the locker rooms
and the main building, the pain-
tinn of walls and the aqua blue
doors are great improvements,mi
we have the good faaties, I hope
it will make the students proud of
what we have.
There must be a change in the
attitudes of the students or it will
turn out the same way it did last
year.
The students must have the .---
trust of the administrationbefore
the school can operate properly.
This can only be achieved by the
qtudents. We students have lost
the trust of the administrators in
the past few years and we must
work hard to regain it. On the

We, as students, have to make
the most major change. In the
past students have treated our
school with much disrespect;
through the past years it has been
the thing to do. Hopefully, this
year that will change. Now that
nistrators should have the faith in
the students to make the changes

become a place we can be proud
of.

News Short
There will be a Chieftain meeting
on Tuesday, September 4, for all
students interested in working on
the staff. Students should meet
in the teachers' lounge after
school.

The forty IHers pictured here took some time out-from their summer
activities to do some work in beautifying the school. The Chieftain
would like to thank a l l these students for making such a constructive
effort.
Chieftain gains new format
by Doug Jones
The Chieftuin will be adding
many new attractions to this
year's editions in an effort to
increase its service to the student
body, according to Peter Bessen
and Lori Davison, this year's
coeditors.
. Among these changes will be ,
news articles concerning national
issues which will affect every stu-
dent, such as the decline in the
birth rate. Accompanying these
articles will be an expanded stu-
dent opinion section, where stu-
dents may respond to articles or
voice their concerns.
Another novelty will be the
section for advertisements. Any
student or group will be able to
publish announcements &t >&e
judged fit to print by the editors.
Behind the scene, the Chief-
tain will undergo a major produe
tion change. Fourteen issues will
-
be published this year two more
than in previous years.
The Chieftain will also be in
continuous production, a feature
which not only will help the staff
crank out an i m e every two or
three weeks, but will keep you,
the reader, better informed.
To increase the Chieftains'
utility to the IH student body,
more workers and interested stu-
dents are needed. For anyone
interested in working for the
Chieftain, an organizational
meeting will be held next Tues-
day, September 4 after school.
All students are welcome and
encouraged to attend. Transpox- .
tion is available afterwards.
