 What will we think of Some things never change. Like ordering your class ring, or building the float during homecoming week. These customs have been around for years. But other things do change. What happened to the six period day? It was replaced by a seven period day because of Governor Clinton's new standards. In addition to the seven period day, teachers must now have a set number of students in their classes. Also the number of credits needed to graduate has been raised from 18 to 22 starting this year. New ideas and modifications have changed many of the habits we had. Some people remember the two different lunch hours. Now all the students go to lunch at the same time. Teresa Kitchens, a junior, comments, Personally, I think it is worse. I wish we had two separate lunches. But other students who have never had the two lunch hours enjoy sharing their lunch time with all grades. Who knows what next year, or even next month, will be like? We might be going to school all year before long. But after one group has made its changes, and all is said and done, there will always be another. And who knows what they will think of next? By Kim Mulson day apparently has an exhausting effect on Otto iean Davis enjoys the same lunch Fry.

 Good Times it while it lasts. After all, this is the best time of your life. When I was a kid ... Wasn't our parents' time difficult? Don't we have it so much better? This is supposed to be the best time of our lives. Right?! Being teenagers, life's automatically easier, isn't it? At least thirty-six hours a week to go to school, plus fifteen hours for homework. (Almost all of us have heard from five different teachers, My homework will only take an hour. ) That's fifty-three hours so far. That's not even considering the part-time jobs some of us have. Our parents complain about having forty hour weeks. But, because we are young, we somehow find time for the dates and fun things we do with our friends. The keys to the family car and a few dollars are sometimes all we need to take the few left-over hours we have and squeeze in some good times. Our parents also talk about all the opportunity we have. The opportunity to see our friends die from drugs and alcohol. A chance to see our friends lose their futures because of unwanted pregnancies. A chance to fail in life because our own parents won't pass a millage increase. The chance to mess up, and get back on our feet, because time's on our side. If these are the best times, we'd hate to see the worst. But, hey, things aren't all bad. We don't have to pay taxes. We don't have to feed, clothe, and shelter ourselves. Mortgages, loans, and bills are some things we won't have to worry about for a few years. It's been said that adolescence is a time of great responsibility and no privileges. We do have some privileges, the privilege of feeling secure enough to have a good time. Along with these privileges, there is a responsibility. The responsibility of making the future a better place for ourselves and our chil- dren. That's our real opportunity. Someday, we'll be an integral part of that future. We'll have the privileges of adults. We'll probably say to our kids, Enjoy it while it lasts ... and they'll have their own set of problems and pressures. Time will be on their side, too.
