Being a Freshman Being a freshman was a hard job. The first few days on the high school campus were hectic. Freshmen couldn't find the right building, the right class, or even the right locker! But after a week or so, tfiey were able to find all those things, and they actually began to feel like they fit in. They made more friends and even started to like high school. Of course, they still re- mained the youngsters” on campus and were not able to drive to school, had fewer choices in class schedules, and were not eligible for membership in some school organizations. Because of their age, some freshmen were also restricted more by parents as to the social activities they were allowed to participate in. However, by the end of the year, they had mastered the art of being a freshman and were eager to continue their adventure as a high school student. WALKING.

Old Problems Students returned to Wynne High in the fall, and with them came some of the same problems. The problems seem to erupt year after year without ever being resolved. One of the problems was the tone “freak out.” The bell system always managed to break down sometime during the year, resulting in campus chaos. Pro- bably the major problem was the conges- tion in the halls, on the sidewalks, and in the parking lot. There never seemed to be enough room to park no matter which parking lot one parked in. The crowded halls and sidewalks caused problems because students weren’t able to flow in or out of buildings very efficiently. Students going through buildings were forced to make their way through the traf- fic jams at the lockers. Friends stopping to gossip in the middle of the hall made the problem worse. Rainy days accentuated the sidewalk problem when students were forced to walk in the wet grass because of lack of room on the narrow sidewalks. INTERCOM. Mrs. Curtner discovers that the intercom is out of order again. SIDEWALKS. Students find that the narrow sidewalks create problems for them trying to get to class. PARKING LOT. The crowded parking lot causes problems and traffic jams, especially when someone parks in a no-parking zone. HALL Narrow halls prevent students from flowing in or out of buildings efficiently.

Being a Senior The days in the life of a senior were always filled with plenty to do, but never enough time to get it done. School and related activities consumed the majority of each weekday. Since a major concern of seniors was graduation, hours were devoted to studying to guarantee that the coveted diploma would be earned. Also, as the “elders” at WHS, seniors took leadership roles in clubs and sports. They could be found putting in many hours on the practice field and at club activities. As if that pressure weren’t enough, seniors were also plagued by the frequent question, “What are your plans for the future?” For many, the answer was col- lege or a job. For others, there was no answer as yet. Also, there were a few who had already begun their future by enlisting in the military or engaging in farming with their families. AIRPLANE.
