The Nlost Dreaded Week Of All Students Face A New Year . . . Again here is one week in the month between August and October that students try to avoid most. lt's full of moans and groans about what to wear, where to go and what to do. Ever- ybody tries to get out of this week by telling their morn they have a stomachache or by trying to con- vince her that they have some made-up disease hoping she will give some motherly sympathy and make them stay in bed. This week is familiar to everyone in the world. This week is the first week of school. No one wants to be present for the first week of school. Everyone thinks it's the worst week in his life and for some it might be. They got to school and found out their best friend had been moved to another homeroom and then they found out they would be hav- ing the meanest teacher for P.E. first period. They go to the cafete- ria to eat D lunch and realize that all of their friends eat A lunch and if things couldn't have gotten any worse, the sixth period algebra teacher assigned the first fifty problems for homework the first night.

Redrawing and think- ing up better ideas brought on head- aches and frustrations. Sometimes friendships went sour as staff mem- bers screamed and yelled at each other when things didn't go their way. As the book came close to com- pletion, all of the best thoughts and ideas were put to use. The head- aches disappeared and the frustra- tions were relieved. All friendships reunited when all ways were com- promised. As the end of the school year ap- proached, everyone had the chance to see what memories and creativity the Athenian staff put into the pro- duction of the 1988 Athenian.
