On the first day of school you could already tell who was who. The freshmen looking around trying not to look lost under their pile of books. The sophomores figuring they had almost everything figured out. The juniors suddenly taking an almost violent dislike for the younger classmen. The seniors and their relief about not having any of that to worry about. We all knew that school would be a little different from the year before, but it was more than what we expected. We started school earlier than before, but we got out sooner. The classrooms either had too few chairs or too many pupils. A newly-installed computer system determined how warm we should be. It must have gotten us confused with penguins. When we realized that we were being controlled by outside forces, we decided to be remembered as more than statistics on a government chart. We showed our uniqueness in skits for civics and speech, even in morning an. nouncements. Listening to the campaign to Save America's Sweetheart, or another segment in the Saga of Karen and Norma brightened up first hour. By year's end, after the initial burst of spring fever, we realized that we were united. Despite all the little setbacks we realized that we ended up on top. — MARSHALL CHOW TIME.
