Clover Mow added ‘The summer is so carefree and now there’s more pressure.”’ Many students had a very long wait for their schedules “It was because people didn’t have the papers filled out properly,’”’ said Ro- berta Kitson who worked in the atten- dence office for fifteen years. She also added that many students were sent home to get the information filled out XN properly “It was very hectic, students screaming and banging on the windows,” said Nan cy Finberg As students congregated in lines, the sun began to come out and most of the students spent the time in line talking to each other. The reality of another new school year was just sinking in ‘| was really nervous going back to school and seeing all of my old friends,” said Bessie Glossenger ‘It was the first time | ever picked up my schedule,” said Holly Kittleman. ‘| have al ways been out of town on pick-up day, and I’m a senior.”’ No matter if you got your schedule or not on Schedule Pick-Up Day, school started anyway.
