Many people have noticed all the new changes going on at Timpanogos. The beginning of the year saw new stickers on the trash cans and custom flags around the building. The newest changes are in the trophy cases and lunch room.

One of the newest additions is on the trophy cases which all have “Excellence of...” etched on the glass doors. The Excellence of Academics bulletin board has students paying close attention. All the teachers were asked to bring in a picture of themselves when they were in high school.

Senior Sterling Randle says, “Oh man those things are hilarious. It is funny seeing how much teachers have changed or how little they have changed.”

Senior Garrett McClintock says, “I never knew Bramall could be so stylish, or that Barth has a misshaped head. He shouldn't ever cut his hair like that again."

These pictures have definitely grabbed students’ attention and have given them a glimpse of what their teachers were like in high school.

Junior James Keyes says, “I never knew Mr. Rasmussen could look like that. I'm definitely never going to look at him the same way in chemistry. You've got to credit Murphy with a freaking sweet idea. Who knew teachers were once young?”

If you are one of the few who hasn't noticed those hilarious pictures, make sure you get a good look; you're in for a treat.

With all these new changes, Mr. Murphy hopes to raise our pride in Timpanogos. One of those ways to show pride is in the lunchroom. Over the doors leading from the cafeteria out into the hall are inspiring words. The pictures on the wall are of great moments of Timpanogos sportsmanship and efforts. Students, programs and facilities are highlighted in the new art on the walls.

Of course, some of the new things are enormous, like the vinyl lettering that encourages students to have character and to work hard. Mr. Murphy, the student council, National Honor Society and the other organizations at the school work hard to make Timpanogos a great place to be, and make every day a great day to be a T-wolf.
