With all the changes in policies this year, seniors were left high and dry with plenty of nothing. One activity seniors could look forward to was the selection of Senior Superlatives. Even so, many looked upon the annual event with mixed emo- tions. Most ofthe time, superlatives turn into a major popularity contest, stated one senior who wished to remain anonymous. People who really deserve the awards don't ever get them. Typecasting, stereotyping, and label- ing are common criticisms of superla- 4 .

The main complaint is the fact that the popular people always win. Recognizing the students who have' done something around the high school is what superlatives are all about, remarked one teacher. Nonetheless, the contest for the Best Dressed or Most Popular went on. Per- haps superlatives were nothing more than a popularity contest. But then again, they were a way of showing recognition for those seniors who have helped make a dif- ference these past four years. Shannon McGlade 'nuns W z , if-f .. 'dE!E- TEAM

Every year thousands of students are pulled away from their summer fun because they have to go back to school. Many students had a hard time adjusting to this change because it was so sudden. One of the biggest problems this year was getting used to the new schedule caused by the addition of thirty minutes to the school day. When Tracy Jenkins was asked how the school year compared to her summer vacation she stated, I like going back to school because you get to see all your friends again, but it's difficult because of the rigorous schedule and piles of homework. When student Deedi Mitchell was asked what she missed most about summer she replied, I hate having to get up so early for school after sleeping late all summer. Another thing that students had trouble with was making time for good study habits - after three months of entertaining themselves. Mandy Mullinax expressed how she felt when she said, I miss watching my soap operas and eating all day. When a student changes from summer vacation to schoolwork, it's a tough job to be successful, but most students seemed to be getting back in the swing of things.
