Presenting Elmhurst Live Catching a last glimpse in the rear view mirror, putting every hair in its place, and grabbing multi-colored notebooks, teenaters slam car doors, pile out of buses, and saunter into the building. Some appear to be a little more excited than others. Once inside, freshmen can easily be spotted for their difficulty in opening lockers, eagerness to get to class, and willingness to tote around all six books the entire day. Seniors can also be spotted, although for not quite the same reasons. They ' re the ones who assume the ringing bells don ' t pertain to them, are already filling out yellow slips, and accidentally trip those freshmen who can ' t seem to see over their pile of books. Though we all walk the halls with ungrateful sighs and an armload of homework wondering if it will ever end, what really lies in the back of our minds is thoughts on how we can make the next period (a favorite class) a little more exciting. Balloons are stuffed in some students ' blue-jeans pockets to give the courtyard bums lying out (try- ing to save their tans) a refresher course during lunch mods. The outside world seems to become less important as the days roll on. Get- ting the car Friday night, trading work hours, or earning a later curfew seemed more of a problem than whether we should worry about the possibility of a nuclear war. School became a little less boring as the Trojans became more in- volved. Being in band. Student Council, or participating in one of several sports made It all seem a bit more bearable. So sure, that big building on Sand- point is just another high school like a lot of others strewn across the city with at least a million classrooms containing graffiti covered desks, lockers built into all the walls, and an asphalt running track out back ... but when the doors open each September more than a thousand teenagers shuffle in making it not just another building, but Elmhurst Live. Showing they can be just as cool in the sixties as Terry Rager, and sophomore Lisa Myers on six- they are in the eighties are freshman Chris Young, ties day. senior Donna Lasl owsl i, juniors Darin York and 2 — Opening

' Here We Come Again! ' The long dreaded day crept upon us faster than expected . . . when waking up to 6:30 alarm clocks, grabbing breakfast in one hand and a gym bag in the other, and boarding the big yellow bus to school seemed next to impossi- ble. Vacations, soap operas, and swim parties were pushed to the back of our minds as thoughts of homework, headaches, and writer ' s cramp became more realistic. But once back into the swing of things, life at Elmhurst just didn ' t seem all that bad. Often, a friendly laugh or a warm smile could substitute for the late morning brunches. Classes didn ' t seem to last as long when new acquaintances were met and old friends became even closer. And even though the 2:35 bell rang loud and clear, many Trojans were still found lingering in the halls, some preparing for practices, some just socializing, while others scuffed into study hall for undeserved detentions. Spirit Week, school dances, or even the usual weekend at the Hut were looked forward to with anticipation. We quit counting the days until Spring break and instead began counting the good times ahead. Even now, after entering the doors for what seemed like numerous years, and furthering our education as far as seemed possible, the upperclassmen, along with the faculty and underclassmen, were ready to admit that summer was obviously over . . . but a new and exciting year of unexplored memories had just begun at Elmhurst . . .
