Ille student 22 Registration marked the end of summer fun and vacations as students heard the first school bell ring at 8:50 a.m. Tuesday, Aug. 28, 1978. Freshmen faced their first year of school with the sur- prise of stubborn red lock- ers and rooms with no doors, while seniors faced the ever lingering thought that their high school life was in its last year. Early days of September brought back the fever of high school football to the city. The newly transformed Blue Blazes Band kept spec- tators curious during the summer after it was announced that they were to be receiving new uniforms. Not arriving in time for the first football game against McKinney, the band traveled to perform in blue jeans and white shirts, only to be drenched by a rainstorm. Bells ring in the new school year The football team didn't fare very well either losing 21-0 to McKinney. Enrollment was down two persons from last year's total with 1,273 students attending Paris High School. District enrollment was down 84 from last year. On September 15, due to a recent University Scholas- tic League vote in District 7- AAA, students were to sit on the same side of the field as does the band during foot- ball games. This change meant that the students must sit on the same side as always, but the band must sit with them. Students soon became accustomed to this and found that it added spirit and less problems were encountered. Pep rallies and Friday night games brought back the busy lifestyle of the aver- age student. With studying and homework, the school year was well undenivay. V? During an assembly sponsored by the Coca-Cola Company, an emcee explains advertising privileges with a show called Ad Biz.
