Thought for the day: Always jump back from locker when opening it to avoid avalanche of falling books ... Friday at last! Only 35 more weeks of school left. As the 75 school year shifted from neutral into first gear, ■ many students were reluctant to leave behind their summer fun and return to the crowded halls and unopenable lockers of -•■ -, ;. school. Pre-registration went smoothly for some, but for others it meant a long wait to clear up computer errors with v? counselors. |l The first half-day get-acquainted session was filled with a v ' ' myriad of questions from sophomores, and with the boredom of seniors only too eager to get the ball rolling toward graduation. Textbooks were passed out and lockers were — ' V ' tT ' ■ -v crowded with the usual jumble of notebooks, pens, and „ ' • ' • .. papers. Sl| -.A». -« .vit.

Added to the usual mixture of blacks and whites were two Oriental faces fresh from the tragedy in South Viet Nam. Quang and Loan Nguyen left Saigon with their families last April to escape the Communist rule. They now live in Fort Wayne and are gradually adapting themselves to the American lifestyle. Two exchange students, Man ' a Elena ArgiJello from Costa Rica and Andrea janser from Switzerland, gave students a taste of their cultures as they joined the crowds from eight to three and shared in their excitement at games. The racial tension seemed to be at an all-time low as everyone worked together to have the best year possible. With Mr. Horstmeyer in his third year as principal, most students knew of his support and concern for them, and used him as a sounding board for their problems and ideas. Although the first semester was halted by a three-day teachers ' strike in September giving the students a welcome vacation, everyone picked up where he left off when school reopened. Few if any hard feelings remained, when the strike ended, between the strikers and those who had reported to work, although athletic practice and music rehearsals had continued during the dispute.
