de? all and 8:00 A.M. Empty halls. Silence and calm pervade the air. Serene, peaceful, and pleasantness. 8:10 A.M. B-r-r-r-r-i- i-i-n-n-g. As the piercing bell rings out to every corner of the building, it is the spark that ignites the fire soon to rage. Too deep? Not really. Look around. Everyone by now must have noticed the large number of students attending Pine Forest Senior High. Never before has this school experienced such a pop- fish- ulation explosion. They're in the pond, lobby, cafeteria, staircases, and the library. They're even outside with the birds and the trees. Everywhere you look, students swarm like flies. Alright. So it is a school and a school is sup- posed to have students. But this Pine Forest, it seems has surpassed its capac- arrived largest When the their goal of they were told and that they ity a e of class Class 6 . yi ' ' . ,.. .ri .,. . y were the largest class now the member of the Class of 90 are hearing the same story. This year there were 448 seniors, 491 juniors, and 569 sophomores at- tending Pine Forest. Together we made up the awesome sum of l,508. This brought many exasperating remarks from teachers complaining about the large size of their classes. The answer? Hire more teachers. But that in itself was a problem. Where do they go? Excuse me, please get out of the way. Excuse me . . . hey you! Move itll Yes this year we saw an increase of a rare breed called the cartwomen. They were those lonely, lost looking souls who pushed their carts around like some baglady form New York City. They literally carried their classes with them. First period might have found them in the Health Occupations room. Second period, we may have seen them in the computer room. Who knew where they would be for the rest of the day? No, they were not being punished for a crime they committed. The fact is there were no other alternatives. We couldn't set up tents now could we? The problem was simple to define. Pine Forest just ran out of room, plain and simple. The answer was not so easy, but our administrators put their heads together and came up with a superb idea. Pine forest, for the first time in its history, would undergo a major coro- nary bypass. lt would have an addition of ten rooms! The location was obvious to everyone throughout the year. At first some people thought that our school had a serious case of moles. Not just a few, but a whole family. But as time went on people realized it wasn't a mole reunion, but the beginnings of an extended building, Ground breaking began late Septem- ber in hopes of completion before the 1988-89 school year. If all goes well, Pine Forest will wake up to a new school year with ten new rooms to wel- come the mighty Trojans. LOOK MA, N0 CA VITIES . ., Caught by sur- prise, Mrs. Asbury proudly displays her class- room on wheels. THE INVASION OF THE BODY SNA TCH- ERS There seemed to be a lack of elbow room as students crowd the halls attempting to get to class on time.

The uasolinv and Glad bags were all worth it! Shari Compton and Felice Doll will look back with it smile at this golden memory of their Tri- Hi-Y initiation. The trees have ears . . . it's a good thing because Charles Westons two friends don't seem to be listening. Ui! The most embarrassing thing hap- pened to me today. I went to my locker, just like l've always done since the first day of school. I dialed my combination and pulled. Nothing. Thelock didn't open. I tried again. still nothing. I must have tried ten times before someone ca- sually tapped me on my shoulder and said, Excuse me, but you're at my locker? I could have died! Did you see what he had on? I just know he's got to be a frequent shopper at 'Polyester Pluslf' 'fl had the worst day of my life today. First of all, I fell asleep in the shower. Don't ask me how, but I did. My little nap made me miss the bus. When I finally did get to school I wished I had stayed asleep in the shower. I was late to first period and I got a five page report on how the aardvark eats ants. What kind of report is that? Give me a break! I should have expected what came next. Guess who the entire second lunch got to see laying spread-eagle in the middle of the fishpond. I-low did you guess? Of course it was me! Who else? Yeah, I had a great day ha ha That English test was so hard, I must have left half the test blank! Can you believe the nerve of her? What has he got that I haven't? Look, let's not answer that. I gave her the best months of my life . . . She used me like Aqua Fresh and then spit me out. Oh yeah. I guess it was the other way around. I forgotg okay, so I didnlt. Ijust wanted to. Why did I throw away the one thing that made me happy? I sup- pose you're right. Thanks budg thanks for listening. I don't know what I'd do without you. Sound familiar? Can you remember hearing or saying something like that 7 If you can, you've recalled just one of your many high school memories. We all have them. I don't know what it is about high school that creates so many of these memories in our minds, though. Not only memories of what's happened to us, but also memories of others' ex- periences. Some memories are as trivial as a grade you got on a test or what someone did to their hair over summer vacation. Others are much more mean- ingful. Those are the ones that time will never be able to take away from us. Each of us here have, or will have our own memories of high school. They will all be different, but somehow the same, We all share one common factor -the school of Pine Forest, No matter what is said or done, it all happens in the same halls, on the same tile floor, be- neath the same white ceilings, under the same watchful eye of Mr. Warren. It all happens at Pine Forest. Maybe high school memories are so strong and abundant because in our hearts we all realize that these are our final years of school as we've always known it. In a matter ofyears, for some of us, months, we'll be starting all over again on new and very unfamiliar grounds. We've all spent at least ten years in school where decisions have basically been made for us and our lives have been mapped out step by step for us. High school holds the last of these structured years, We all know this and it stirs up many different feelings in us. One of those feelings being the need to hold on to high school as long as we can. The best way to do that is thorough memories - a forest of golden memories. Student Life
