TWINS FOR A DAY. Tla Mclwee and Jill Poland take advantage of their last “out days. The two seventh grade friends dressed alike from their mini skirts to their Nikes. Feel in’ Summer had gone fast, and there it was in black and white — W School Year to Begin August 30 Into the land of late stay-ups and late sleep-ins marched the Board of Education’s calendar. We quickly adjusted, for another year of school meant another year older. We got used to new classes, new teachers, and new locker combina- tions. At home we put away cut-offs and tank tops to make room for ruffled blouses and prairie skirts. The sale at Fashion Warehouse put most students into Calvin Kleins for $24.99. Mom and Dad said “no” to late nights at the Lions Field and then pizza at Mama Rosa’s. It was back to doing dishes and finishing homework. Materials, needed for school, emptied pockets, and the financial burden of the year began. Lab and activity fees each cost $1.00, yearbook staff wanted a $5.00 deposit, and $2.00 promised a Chime subscription. Jocks were dressed and on the field by 3:20 and gave it all they had until the coach said “hit the showers.” Long after the players left, the flag squad was still practicing routines, sometimes as late as 7:30 p.m. Fall sports elected royalty Janna Lloyd and Wendy Monahan as soccer and football queens. Juniors chose Deborah Skidmore as Frostburg Fire Queen. As a joke Skidmore’s friends told her L B«em n she was required to ride on the fire truck, along with the fire dog. For two days Deborah worried about the dog until her friends told the truth. Through the excitement of cheering for two top area teams, the disappointment of returning to an unpainted school, the agonies of making good grades, and the waiting for drivers ed, we realized that all too quickly the year was underway. TO ELECT their officers, seventh graders gather in the girls’ gymnasium to listen to Student Council's President John Martir- ano explain the nominating and voting procedures. AT THE FIRST home football game. Drum Major Kelly May leads the band to the playing of the national anthem. May attended a Fred J.

WHILE TAKING A BITE out of Brenda Whitaker’s chicken sand- wich, Janet Twigg steadies herself so that she won't fall from the win- dow. After the parade the band stopped in Hancock for dinner. SHORTLY AFTER ARRIVING in Win- chester. Collette Shockey and Kelly Myers find some time to relax before heading for the line-up area. Band members waited nearly an hour for the parade to begin.
