First Week The first week of school is one of the most frustrating and mixed-up weeks of the school year as everyone makes a great change from the summer into the fall season. During the First week the students hurry to school with great anticipation. The seventh graders are anxious to know what it is like at high school. They wonder what teachers they will have and what it will be like with several different teachers. They can be seen during the first week wandering about the hall, lost, and going to the wrong classrooms. The rest of the stu- dents go about the halls with a quick step to their walks, for they too are anxious to see who their teachers will be and what friends they will meet in their classrooms. The classrooms are often quite disorganized the first week as the teacher and students must all become ac- quainted with each other. Class rules and pro- cedures IIlllSt be set before the studens, and seat- ing charts lllllst be made out. Students keep the book stores brimming with sales during the first week as books, paper, notebooks, and other necessary supplies must be purchased. Central's own bookstore is especially busy as there is always a line before school, after school, and at noon. This bookstore is run by two students and supervised by Mr. Laham. Not only are the teachers and students getting their edu- cational policies organized but also extra-cur- ricular activities are started once again. The football and cross country coaches are thinking about their teams. Then too, the oflicers of various clubs are meeting about their projects for the year. The junior and senior classes are beginning to think of good candidates for their classes. The administrators are very busy at this time as they must put the school in running order. The hands behind the scenes are also affected during the First week. The cooks must begin to plan and fix noon hour lunches. The custodians must keep the building heated and are kept busy making repairs and keeping the building and grounds clean. lt is quite evident that all persons connected with the school are extremely busy the first week. ms
