ood-bye Freedom Getting in the habit again Lying in bed sound asleep, the buzzer rings and he realizes his reign of freedom has vanished. As the first full day of school arrives, Dan tries to fake sleeping until he hears a scream from downstairs . . . “Breakfast is ready.” With his daily rou- tine revived, he hurries to leave home by 7:40 p.m. or he will miss the bus. He pulls himself out of bed, jumps in the shower and, with toast in hand, scurries toward the bus. Upon arrival at school, he saw an un- usual mob of people hurrying through the halls. Dan bumped into a large number of “lost” freshman wandering aimlessly in the halls. Seniors walked into class late, using the excuse, “We were lost.” Al- though he tried to see his guidance coun- selor, he was not able to make his way through the throngs of concerned students with last minute schedule changes. Lunch, like the Guidance Office, proved to be a mad rush as students fought for tables and “cuts in line”, as they showed off their new class status. Dan bumped into the Co-Captain of the Football Team, Mike Bukowski, who said, “We’ve got big dreams for this year, and I think we will be able to go far.” Dan sat down, overhearing all the girls talking about their “summer romances,” while the guys referred to them as “conquests.” The big Highland-Munster Homecoming game is the talk of the day since Home- coming would be held rather early. Mr. Marshak and Mr. Tennant were on their usual lunch patrol when three daring stu- dents began a food fight. As the bell sounded, ending lunch, everyone focused on plans for their first weekend. As the dismissal bell rang at 2:40 p.m., the hustle and bustle doubled as hundreds of students dashed out the door eager to enjoy the last days of summer weather. As the students left the building, they looked at the clock wishing they could turn time back three months, but in anticipation of eventful school year. SHARING SUMMER ADVENTURES, seeing old pals and saying good-bye to graduates all make up the traditional yearbook handout in August. At first glance of the new Paragon, seniors Suzanne ElNagger, Amy Johnson and a friend share a few memories.

SUMMER’S END NOT only means the end of fun, but for many it means the end of an extra income. As the weather cools off, seniors Hal Lusk and Jeff Jarczyk finish cleaning the Munster Community Pool on one of the last days of their summer job. WATCHING THE POOL and its playful inhabitants as her summer job, senior Tammy Thorton takes ad- vantage of her position by getting a golden tan. INSTEAD OF CATCHING the last of the summer sun, Student Body President, senior Irene Fabisiak, spends time at school stapling the multitudes of stu- dent handbooks needed for schedule pick-up. MUDDY WATERS COMPLICATE the Football Team’s summer practice; however, the slush might be welcome when the biting winter winds set in. 3 Jt - — 8 Summer Ends —

— 10 Homecoming — MAKEUP AND CLOWNS aren’t restrict- ed to Halloween and the circus. Distribu- tive Education Clubs of America (DECA) members junior Katrina Blazek and seniors Jennifer Baron and Robyn Eisner’s smiles generate the Homecoming mood. “ . . . AND THE HOMECOMING queen is Michelle Kelchak,” announces Student Body President senior Irene Fabisiak. Sur- prise registers on Michelle’s face as the loud speakers, announce her victory, and make her dream become a reality.
