A New School Year, A New When we returned for the 78-79 school year most of us knew all registration and scheduling information would be handled by computer, but we wondered what it would be like. In homeroom the first day of school, students received their schedules that the com¬ puter had printed out. Stu¬ dents had a number for their classes, their homeroom, their teachers, even for themselves. Many students found mistakes on their schedules, but were told they had to stay in their present classes for the first week. Some students decided that they could not survive in certain classes and decided to change their schedule, with Dr. William Powell’s approval. Many got their wish and were placed elsewhere but some were denied transferral and had to learn to tolerate the class. All in all, with the num¬ bers and mistakes, computer registration and scheduling went well. TOP: As they talked over their schedules, William Mays, Jeanne Wright, Doris Lewis, and Lora Taylor decided that things weren ' t so bad after all. CENTER: Seniors filed in to start making some of the many deci¬ sions which a senior must make. BOTTOM: Checking the computer print out sheets, adding omissions and inserting changes on student’s schedules were Ms. Nancy Lewis, Ms. Linda Pearson and Ms. Sharon Ken- nerson.

Questioning Faces O As students entered the building on September 5, their faces registered many expressions of intellectual curiousity. Even though students spent a few minutes greeting their friends, many of whom they had not seen since June, most prevalent in their minds were questions such as — “Where is my homeroom?” “Who are my teachers?” ‘‘When can I change my schedule?” The guides selected from the cheering squad, girls’ basketball team, and SCA helped to alleviate the problem of finding the assigned homerooms. Once in homeroom the state of inquiry diminished, for the many long awaited answers were finally at student’s finger¬ tips. Mixed emotions prevailed as teachers reminded students that the first three weeks of school would be only three days long. This was great news for some, especially those who would have missed school anyway in or¬ der to harvest tobacco, but for others the ‘‘harvest days” represented ‘‘time lost” which had to be ‘‘made up” later.
