Eorly Morning Action Begins School Doy Many students at Bryan Adams this year dragged themselves to the school much earlier than the usual eight twenty-five. A few of these students needed help in courses and arrived at the school ready to discuss and work with their teachers. Some people had OO classes and arrived at school at a bleary 7:25. The library was often crowded before first period with students finishing up last minute reports and term papers. Also, several clubs met early in the morning and had sleepy-eyed discussions on their future plans. The CB's and CCS met regularly each week during football season. The Belles, attired in curlers and cutoffs, also spent long hours of practice before the regular school hours began as the music of the band rang into the morning air. While the auditorium and fields were full of activity, the lunchroom filled up with students ready for a donut and coke. The lunchroom provided a friendly atmos- phere for studying, listening to music, or just visiting with friends until 8:25.

Bock to the Routine, Students Return On August 25, the 76-77 Bryan Adams school year began with high hopes on the part of both students and teachers. 8:25 found most people in their homerooms ready to fill out two or three cards and move on to lst period. Homeroom, however, lasted for one hour and fifteen minutes. Over half of all schedules were wrong. Three counselors spent several days trying to repair everyone's programs. The auditorium was packed on the first day with over 807' of the students waiting to discuss program changes with the counselors. As the Bryan Adams population emptied into the halls after homeroom, they dis- covered rhat with the new freshmen and sophomores, there was no room to walk. Needless to say, tardies were numerous. The typical You Are Here maps were placed at various intersections around the school, which helped new students a great deal. One other change at Bryan Adams was the addition of a 4th lunch. In all four lunches the lines were extremely long, even though a new line had been added. The juke box blasted out last year,s songs while everyone gulped down his lunch. Fifth, sixth, and seventh periods went as usual and at the 3:55 bell, students and teachers were glad school was over for that day. W-uma Awww
