Most students experienced excitement on the first day, mixed with a reluctance to give up all the pleasures of summer. While some students en- joyed an obligation-free summer, others held jobs working the summer away. There were the usual trips to Myrtle Beach and Virginia Beach as well as to New York and California; however, some students visited more unusual places. Andrea Shreeman, Eric Williams, Ruffles Munns, and Marissa Young all traveled to Las Vegas, Nevada, where they auditioned for dance parts on the television show HSolid Gold? ttLas Vegas opened my eyes to many opportuni- ties and gave me a taste of the professional world of dancef' commented Ruffles.

Traffic jams clogged the halls causing students to be late for class. To ease the con- gestion, teachers released study halls one minute early.
