Here We Go Again he days of sleeping until noon, watching soap operas, lying around the pool catching some rays, and staying out half the night, all very important parts of anyone's summer schedule, ended on Sep- tember Ath, while no- tebooks, teachers, getting up at some inhumane hour of the morning, and homework became the new routine of the day. For Juniors and Seniors, the first day of school is a time for looking for faces they have not seen since June. Most people quickly ren- ewed friendships and even made some new ones in the process. Junior Shelia Clark said, 'll spent the whole day talking with all of the people l had not seen since the end of school last year. Meanwhile sophomores were looking for a friendly face to help them locate a class they were already late for. Garinger is so much bigger than Eastway was: I don't think I will ever learn my way around this school, said Kim Lee, a sophomore. Harder classes, new peo- ple, and a much larger campus had to be gotten used to before the new students could settle down into their new routine. The Executive Committee did several things this year to help these poor souls get accustomed to their new school. Big brothers and big sisters, posters introducing new students to the many activities at Garinger, and the posters identifying each classroom were just a few of the numerous things done to help the new students. The sophomores were not the only new faces at Garinger. Eleven teachers, one secretary, one guid- ance counselor, and one extended day teacher were all added to the school staff. Betsy Smith, the new Gener- al Math ll and Analysis teacher, complained, I am a teacher, and I feel just as hopeless as some of the new students. All in all the first day of school was not that bad and it kicked off what is hoped to be the best school year in Garinger history. Melissa Brazzell Julie Higgins and Mmm Day of School Jeanne Pegram compare' the teachers they have this year. Pete Economos and Steven Mlchalek discuss the new attendance policy adopted this year by the school system. WWW 421.2 David Puckett and Stephanie Brooks have a friendly chat about the upcoming football game.
