aU it O fMij £)ri36 -et?- P€RfCCTIOh So, what did you expect? Cer- tainly not last year ' s OFF THE WALL! Sure, you were still a little bit crazy and just a tad wild. Only you were different, and nobody knew what to expect. A whole summer had gone by that allowed you to experience new and extravagant things such as, traveling to Europe, Mexico, or maybe even Africa. Then you returned to the Blue and White of orange lockers as a somewhat new person and started your year off with a BANG! It was 7:35 a.m., and the first bell had rung . . . you had exactly five minutes to get to your first period class before the tardy bell rang. The first couple of weeks of this routine seemed like a breeze. As for your school work, it was organized due to the fact that the first two months of school didn ' t involve much work; therefore, it was automatically organized. The first couple of months passed, and you suddenly realized that your first hour tardies were rapidly building up. As for your schoolwork, your notebooks fell apart, and assign- ments got lost leaving you with no alternative but to tell your teachers that your dog ate your assignments, that somebody had stolen them, or that you had al- ready turned them in. Before the first semester was over, some of you found yourselves caught up in one big disorganized circle. Christmas and New Year ' s passed, and it was finally 1988, which meant the beginning of a new semester. As the circle con- tinued, the third quarter was treated like the first quarter, A FRESH START. ' Again, everything was going well for that first month of new you, but before you knew it, you got caught up in a knot with all the tardies that turned into ab- sences, and your assignments were not only lost but neglected. Well, Mr. Organization, it was now fourth quarter . . . Once again you tried to be true to your- self, and you were! Almost any- way! You still had a few tardies but as for absences, no way! Of course not . . . Those were saved up for the last few days of school. So there you had it, another action packed school year was fi- nally over. Your circle of disor- ganization was broken, and the summer was now yours! SO, WHAT DID YOU EXPECT? Seniors Pat Crossman, Charlie Parntll, and Oax Godkin take a break while watching the football team practice. fuf ior Mar tiret Moore stops to socialize with Soph- omore Brian Casey between classes. Sophomore Kim McRoy and Junior Kim Spector get ready t give their Senator brother, Andy Goldsmith, a surprising GOOD LUCK card.

' V sk ; r t .: J rjy c r MiRi aes Choosing a theme for this year ' s yearbook was probably the most difficuh challenge, next to meeting deadlines, that the year- book staff had to face. Theme , in this case, meant to find a specific word or phrase to summarize the entire year. In do- ing this, we had to step away from the position of a student and look into the year from a stranger ' s point of view. For those who don ' t know, a theme is used to tie the book together making sure that all school activities and functions are included and, most importantly, to make sure that no one is ex- cluded from appearing in the book at least once. Once a theme is chosen, it is the staffs duty to make sure that the theme is carried out through the book, and then the book begins to go into publication. So, What Did You Expect? seemed the only appropriate phrase to capture every aspect of this year. From the beginning of the year to the end, who would have known that the coke ma- chines no longer existed around campus; shorts were allowed for the first couple months of school; our football, soccer, and volley- ball teams would do so well; and that EVERYONE, including seni- ors, was required to attend school a total of one hundred and eighty full days. Life was so rough! The unexpected was generally what this year was all about and so once again the question is asked ... SO, WHAT DID YOU EXPECT?. ' .

The insistent ringing of the alarm clock at 6:30 am signalled for many students the beginning of a new school year. After two and one half months of sleeping in, stu- dents thankfully hit the snooze alarm and slept another ten minutes before being fiendishly reminded that it was lime to get going if they were going to be at school before the 7:40 tardy bell rang. Knowing thai when they got to school they could complete the task of waking up by buying a coke from one of the seven coke machines that were stationed throughout the school, students began co trickle onto the campus expecting things to be as they always had been. This, however, would be a year of changes students quickly found out. Arriving at school many students headed straight for one of those friend- ly, life-giving coke machines. To their surprise, it was not where it was sup- posed to be. It had disappeared as had all the other coke machines except for the one in the Student Store, but it wasn ' t open during class. What had happened? Where had they gone? This question was angrily asked by many students who could not un- derstand why they were forced to do without cokes during class. According to Principal Pat Hallei, the coke machines were removed be- cause many students the previous year had found it more important to get a coke than to get to class on time. Tardies had increased significantly, and teachers and administration had made the decision to remove the coke ma- chine distraction. Because tardies had become such ; problem, a new tardy policy was int stituted. Under this new policy a parent or guardian was notified on the seventh tardy of the semester, and on the ninth tardy, the student was assigned to gar- bage detail. On this duty students picked up trash during lunch or after school. Along with the removal of coke ma- chines and the institution of garbage detail, computer scheduling was anoth- er change that affected students. Although the new system of com- puter scheduling added an extra day to summer, many students did not like that system as the computer, ai least this first year, assigned students to classes that they either didn ' t want or gave them teachers they didn ' t like. So many unexpected changes and so many different attitudes taken toward them! But, then . . . So. what did you expect?
