A TYPICAL DAY AT PARKSIDE A typical day at Parkside? It's un- heard ofl Students may follow the same basic schedules every- day: they may get up at the same time in the morning, an'ive at school at the same time, go to the same lockers, to the same classes, face the same teachers and leave by the same path. But something special, something different, something unique happens to someone, some- where, at some time during each day. The result? No day is a typi- cal day! That four-legged visitor, a cute little puppy which wandered in one morning, made the day spe- cial for the students who stopped to pet him. That bou- quet of flowers, that UA on a quiz, that guest speaker, that teacher who took time to listen, those special friendships: all make up the not-so-typical days, the extra-special days, the nev- er-to-be-forgotten days here at Parkside High School.
