Students would be more sure of the classes they would like to take and try a bit harder in those classes. © Many of the staff members felt that the new system was confusing and less efficient than the previous system. “Registration of juniors and seniors was more complex than we thought it would be.” said social studies teacher Bill Enquist. Therefore some students may have become frustrated with the long lines and made poor choices.” Sophomore Tara Fatka agreed, I'd heard that registration was supposed to be impossible, but it was actually pretty easy. Nobody | knew had any problems. ` uds

Sniper was swell, buf the coronation was kind of goofy,” said junior Josh Lorr. senior Janet Wisner felt, For a free dance, there wasn't any danceable music. AT the bonfires everyone had had more school spirit, during Sniper we all just stood around.” Although some of the juniors and sen- iors were bored during coronation, many of the sophomores were im- pressed by the ceremony. Sophomore steve Hoiberg said, It gave me an idea of who! should respect in the sen- ior class. THE HOMECOMING COURT.
