After the lazy, hazy days of sum- mer the school year began to take shape. On the dreaded first day the freshmen arrived fifteen to thirty minutes early, clumping together to find security. Sophomores made their entrance a little later, scouting out who to initiate the following weekend. Juniors arrived with grins on their faces, anticipating the jour- ney into upperclasshood. Seniors ar rived at the last minute, hands in pockets, daring anyone to challenge their new found power. As the first day evolved, students were given their schedules. Everyone had the standards of math, science and religion. Others had options like music, art and journalism. In hom- eroom. all of the students were re- quired to recopy their schedules, reg- ister their cars and fill out a student parent directory update. After com- pleting these tasks, students moved through the day on a scat schedi Books were issued and white unble ished book covers were passed o tediously put on and artfully decor ed.

Getting an education? After the first day passed, and the year went along, teachers added variety and excitement to their classes. First quarter, Mr. Tom Gerdes took the juniors and sophomores in his life sci- ence classes to the Henry Doorly Zoo. The students found it a refreshing break from lecture and note taking. ” I had a lot of fun at the zoo. I hadn’t been there since grade school,” said Kindra Styskal. Ms. Marylou Wirth’s junior English class also had a change of pace after several weeks of studying Geoffrey Chaucer’s Canterbury Tales. Students researched such subjects as food, music and games. Then, after signing out of afternoon classes, stu- dents assembled in the cafe- teria to partake of a Medieval Banquet. It was interesting to eat the same foods and dress the same as they did back in Medieval times,” said Jane Meduna. In October, seniors attend- ed Raymond Central Career Day to visit with college and university representatives from Nebraska and surround ing states. Students learned about admission require- ments and campus activities. Working under i he ventila lion hood, juniors Ger eite Matulka.
