                          lnstalled at the end  of last year were  13  security cameras inside

                  and  outside of the school.  The  cameras were placed  to view  every door-

                  way, hallway  and  all  angles  of the parking  lot to insure  the safety of the

                  students. This  year, students began  to get used to the 24-hour moni-

                  tonng  system. Along  with the cameras, increased secunty and  locked

                  doors were another  difference  students had  to face. As a result of

                  these  differences,  students were restncted to walk  outside through the

                  two main  doors on  the north and  west sides of the main  entrance.

                          Because of the restnctions and  the oversized freshman class,

                  pass1ng  periods were extended an  extra minute. Another  difference  that

                  came  along  With  the freshmen was a new GPA system and  requirements.

                          The  JUnior  and  senior classes were faced with yet another  differ-

                  ence  from past years. For the juniors, the luxury of modified open  campus

                   was taken  away. For the seniors, a four-class minimum  requ irement was

                  enforced.

                          Spaghetti strap tank tops, halter tops, and  tube tops were banned  .

                  from the building  along  With  short shorts. These  restrictions made a

                  difference  in  the way students shopped  in  the community for school-

                   appropriate clothes.

                          Along  with success in  academics area,  MN  was named the first

                   lnternational Baccalaureate school  in  the state of Nebraska The  program

                  provided selected  participants with opportunities to research particular

                   areas of interests, while  still getting to study a broad variety of other

                   areas. This  was a difference  both students and  staff were proud to

                   accept.

                          Whatever the  differences  MN  experienced  this year, most things

                   were  able  to rema in the same.
