Do you get lost often? Are you so overwhelmed by crowds of people in the hall that you just canât find your way? Do you need a new method to find your next class? If youâre one of the approximately 4 people in the school that answered yes, then youâre in luck! New in the science hallway since winter break is brand new tiling, complete with a line that you can follow–your own personal Garmin. Sophomore Marios Tringides is one of the people who have benefited from the new tiling. âItâs like the black brick road,â said Tringides. âWeâre off to see Mrs. Brenneman!â Now, letâs be sure not to single out just one aspect of this revolutionary remodeling. In addition to the line, it includes a black and (a color close to) orange (yes, our school colors!) pattern along the middle of the hall. And besides the science hallway, the front office has new tiling of the same color on it, and now a black-and-orange-tiled post! Yes, clearly this new addition to our great school is something to be proud of. But, shockingly, some people in our school either didnât notice, or didnât even care about the new tiles. âI havenât been down that hall in like, three years,â said senior Adam Lane. âThey donât excite me,â said junior Daniel Yang. Senior Alec Kapaun admitted that he originally thought he just hadnât noticed the tiles in his years at Ames High. âHave I just never looked at the floor before?â he wondered. âWhen the (expletive) did this happen?â While the students might not seem to care, the teachers sure do. âItâs very nice. I like it,â said teacher Nancy Svien. Teacher Elizabeth Brenneman added that âThey make me feel so special! Theyâre great.â The front office secretaries are quite happy about the remodeling as well. âThe whole office remodeling brightens my day,â said Kathy Packer. âI love it, and the new pillar is great too,â said Wendi Reger. Reger also hinted that more front office remodeling may be to come. Donât worry, the WEB will keep an eye out for that and be the first on the scene if thereâs any news. There have been many revolutionary steps to making Ames High the bastion of learning that it is, but perhaps none are more revolutionary than these new tiles and remodeling. They should show our Cyclone Spirit for years to come.
