Cruising: Teenage Ritual For Exploring Litre As summer progressed, June faded into July and July into August, and we knew what that meant. It was time to clean the ole buses, gas them up, and roll them out. Time to forget all the pleasures of summer and drive toward the beginning of another year. Lots of changes greeted us. For many students these changes represented a whole new road to follow. Being a sen- ior did not provide the smooth sailing it always had. Seniors were not allowed to leave for lunch, were required to take a minimum of five classes, and could not double in English-a bumpy road for some to follow!

Take The Bumps Along With The Smooth Another change involved the club schedule. Clubs were held before or after school due to their interference with classes. Juniors were nearing the end of the road but the SRA and PSAT testing was quite a curve! But altogeth- er the year got off to a good start. Our first big event was Homecoming. The Colonels threw a monkey-wrench into Buckingham’s defense. The dance on the following Saturday night was a big hit! As October sped into November and November to December students were busy working on projects: the annual Haunted House for Halloween, litter pick-ups, political compaigns, and var- ious dances. Arriving to school by bus is Sherry Hedrick and Stephenie Boaze. About 70% of the students ride buses. Speaking to the Spanish and history classes is Rev. Elvio Canavesio of Costa Rica. Invited by Kirk Irby, Rev. Canavesio told about life in His- panic countries and his many travels. Using the pay phone during break is Kathy Vaughn. Students are required to use pay phone for personal calls instead of jamming the office phone. 4 Opening
