A large number of seniors also spent some of their vacation reading the books for Ad- vance Placement English. “I was glad to read the books,” said Aileen Maciag. “I probably would not have gotten around to reading them if I hadn’t decided to take the course. As the end of the summer neared, quite a few students ended up back at school practicing for upcoming activities. All fall sports teams, the Rockettes, cheerleaders, and the marching band spent grueling hours on their respective fields to prepare for the opening of school. “We had a good time at practices,” said varsity cheerlead- er Kathy Daniels.

Most of us, it seemed, were even a little bit glad to go back. —$ Ttschntr 12 Student Life
