September - School Begins A serious look showed on the student's lace as he hopefully began the new year. The little lost Sophomore wandered through a new World, the junior revived old friendships, and the Senior strutted proudly ahead ot both. Each one laughed or talked a little too loudly, trying to cover up the feeling ot being just plain scared, but each was glad and excited over what the coming year had in store for him. Each student's time had come to begin the best year ot his lite. Registration was hard work, but not tor the students. Placed in their classes by the counselor and her assistants, the students were saved confusion and trouble even though some were not quite pleased with their teachersf however, after meeting them in the classes, disappointments were forgotten, and all were ready tor work. Class and club organizations, which followed quickly, offered new challenges for the new year. Summer registration removed many ot the scheduling problemsg how- ever some students had to make changes. Pondering over what to take, students bite pencils and scratch heads until the decision is finally made.
