The day the school shooh School changes make the first day a real shocker Several months later, we experienced our own earthquake within the walls of AHS. Changes of seismic magnitude came about leaving both students and faculty surprised and bewildered. Many traditions ended, while new ones commenced. As we met conflicts head on in hopes of restoring the school after the quake, pride began to take precedence. Even so, several challenges arose that had to be faced. For the first time in four years, seniors found themselves once again lost in the halls. The addition of new teachers and the room changes of others tended to make us all feel a little off edge. With a new attendence office and the strategic positioning of Mr. Candela's new office to overlook the parking lot, we realized the seriousness of the administration’s desire to enforce school policies. Many students proceeded cautiously and had no idea what to expect, especially from the new classes. However, one thing became clearly evident. If we were going to survive and adapt to this new environment, we would have to overcome the AFTERSHOCK.

1$ there life after school? Extra student activities relieve academic tension One very important aspect of our lives as students was life outside the classroom. Jobs, extracurricular activities, and social events came first as academics frequently took a backseat. Thoughts of good times, not calculus and Shakespeare, drifted through our minds. With whom we were going to Homecoming (if we were going) was very important. Where he” worked and whom she was dating were major issues. We were more concerned with musical tryouts and plans for the next assembly than with grades and passing. Soon, however, the reality of class work and studying had its impact on us. But, after a summer of work and play, many of us had trouble readjusting to an academic atmosphere, resulting in a severe AFTERSHOCK.
