For many students it became a great convenience. However at other times it was plagued by overcrowdedness, as Janet Lawrence summed up that predicament, “The bus was too crowded for me most of the time. Buses were new, but were mandatory with the rezoning. For freshmen it was just another step in the jump up into high school life. Settled back and ready to roll, bus riders check out the road home. 28 FRESHMEN

T he end of orientation day on September 1 left many freshmen and other new students with a feeling of easiness. Of course, high school was nothing n ew to those sophomores and juniors that were rezoned, but it was a new building with new faces. To the ninth graders high school was a new and different experience, as they learned early in orientation. Mrs. White, the freshmen and junior guidance counselor, was on hand to welcome all the students and to introduce some of the faculty members. Mrs. Bailey also welcomed the students and presented a layout of the school. There were many questioning looks as students saw the jumbled floor plan of Suffolk High School. Mrs. Bailey also gave a talk on this year’s theme, “Friendship.” She explained that since there were quite a few new students, new friendships would be made. Mrs. Bailey also included “unity” as part of the theme. Mr. Davis, Assistant Principal of Administration, focused in on such school matters as absences, tardies, and the demerit system. Many groans were heard at the thought of the fifteen day absentee policy. After much talking students were sent to their respective homerooms, where they received copies of their 1979-1980 schedules. Those freshmen and new students who were unable to come to orientation had to suffer the “new school blues” on the first academic day. Sheree Joyner, a ninth grader, exclaimed, “I knew I was going to be lost.” But Jane Horne, another ninth grader, said, “This is great; I like it here.” While a majority of the new students students had a good time, some were just trying to find Miss Butler’s Geometry class. Some students were voicing their objections to being here. Ginger White, a former Forest Glen student, commented. “I didn’t want to go here.” Whether freshmen, new students, or experienced seniors, the first days were hectic for everyone, but in time no one was know as a “new” student.
