I r$a CO HINC East Lancers were so excited to be I back as they start up the front steps. I After three months of no homework, teachers, or school food. East students returned back to school. TC i LIFE The most dreaded day for Freshmen had arrived. The First Pay ! As the students climbed the front steps, gossip was in the air. Friends found each other to compare schedules and reminisce about summer fun. The peaceful East campus had been invaded once again by over 2.500 Lancers for the ' 88- 89 school year. The Freshmen start off with an Assembly in which they’re told what they are to do. Afterward, they can be seen wandering the hallways and trying to open lockers. This is one day the Freshmen just want to get over with. They try to avoid upperclassmen for fear of being initiated. Some succeed, others aren ' t so lucky. However, Freshmen year isn’t all that bad. you make a lot of new friends and people no longer treat you like a little kid. Second, come the Sophomores, not yet thought of as upperclassmen, but no longer consid¬ ered Freshmen. They walk around campus trying to find friends made last year and acting big”. since they are no longer freshmen. This is an in-between year for them. Sophomores are no longer given leeway as they were freshman year, yet they do not have to think seriously about colleges on post-high school life. Sophomore year is a year to have fun and not get too serious. Next come the Juniors. The Juniors First Day is filled with excitement and anticipation. They congregate on Central Terrace with their friends and talk about what they each did over the summer, all the while watching the freshman walk by. This year is the big year for college tests. In October, they may take the Preliminary SAT. and in the months of April and May they can take the ACT or SAT which are needed to enter any college. Junior year is a time to get serious and make your after-high school plans. However, there’s still enough time for parties and Prom. Lastly, we come to the top of the line the Seniors. They drive to school or hitch a ride with friends not really caring whether or not they are tardy for 1st hour. They stand around and talk about summer fun too. yet also, the seniors notice how little the freshman get every year, which is no lie. Senior year is a fun year. They got all of the serious stuff out of the way their Junior year. They can look forward to phantoming. Senior Olympics, and the Senior Prom, then finally graduation. All the action starts on the infamous First Day of School and continues throughout the rest of the year. The excitement, anticipation, and first-day jitters now subside as the dreaded First Day turns into nothing more than an unforgettable memory.
