On August 31, at 9 a.m. the tense freshmen anxiously awaited in the bleachers for the orientation assembly to start while the spirit squads put the finishing touches on a prepared skit. It was a hillarious skit characterizing freshmen at lunch. Following the skit, the freshmen hurried around trying to find their assigned tour groups for the mixed up tour around campus. From the tour the freshmen went on to meet their counselors. and at last, get their lockers. Thus ended a day introduction to life on a high school campus. lt was hectic, but it was the start of a new experience as a freshmen. Freshmen v. .

onfusion at mill With the ending of summer fun, and the beginning of a new school year, Amador students crushed into the girls gym to register for classes. Crowding into the gym, students literally ran to give class cards to awaiting teachers. Those who did not run fast enough were left back at the start with gaps in sche ,ules or two classes during the same hour. Some students stood in line for an hour to see a counselor for help with schedule corrections. The process took two days. On August 31, freshmen milled, and on September 3, seniors, juniors, and sophomores crammed for classes. All in all the Mill proved to be another challenge brought on by the new school year.
