OUTLOOKS Patricia Johnson New schedules, different faces, shorter periods, longer days—this is how we’ll always remember the beginning of the school year. Changes—sometimes we are forced to accept them whether or not we believi them to be for the better. Many students begin to take on a new attitude towards the upcoming school year. One noticeable difference is the inside appearance of our school. A fresh coat of white paint brightens what used to be dull and dingy walls. It seems all to impossible that thousands of dirty sneakers walked these freshly waxed halls many times before. Besides the fact that it was a new year and a chance to start over, students seemed to be starting with a more positive attitude. We had to take on a new perspective about such things as: longer school days, less time between classes, homeroom after first period, and beginning with the class of ’89, more graduation requirements. These changes all required a lot of cooperation and patience from the student body. When asked what she thinks to be the most drastic change, Michelle Gritzke replies, There are no candy salesl I can’t survive the day without a box of M M's or a candy ARE THE bar.” No more candy bars?l Students are supposed to eat what we all know are nutritious school lunches, and not junk food. Living without candy hasn’t seemed to hurt anyone yeti Now the various clubs and activities have to be creative and think up new fundraising ideas. Kelly Petty expresses her views on the new student attitude, I think it’s great to see that more students are becoming involvedl” Participation in student activities seems to have increased considerably this year. Maybe it’s because students realize that it’s who you are, that counts. If things don’t go your way, try again. Don’t give upl Be the best you can be and that's all anyone can ask.
