Anticipation The dog days of August signal the open¬ ing of Culpeper County High School for yet another school year. A feeling of an¬ ticipation and excitement fills the air as students crowd the halls. A festive mood pervades. From a small cluster of stu¬ dents, a burst of laughter rings through the halls as friends reunite. Once again, CCHS has come to life. For sophomores, high school equals changes. One difference sophomores en¬ counter occurs in the morning. Instead of waiting in the gym before school, stu¬ dents can wander the halls until first peri¬ od. Another change deals with smoking. CCHS contains a smoking lounge for stu¬ dents who desire to smoke; whereas in junior high, smoking is forbidden. Of course for sophomores, the first couple days of school are hectic since they must become familiar with both the school and their teachers. Now, sophomores have new options open to them. For example, playing a varsity sport can become a reali¬ ty for a few sophomores. A big thrill, get¬ ting a driver’s license, will come true for most sophomores. Like sophomores, juniors also have cer¬ tain adjustments to make; however, they have an advantage over the sophomores as they are already familiar with the school and teachers. Juniors “know the ropes,” and few things surprise them. During their junior year, several students face more responsibility than ever before. In fact, the junior class has the responsi¬ bility of organizing the prom. A few juniors are nominated for the National Honor So¬ ciety, a worthy achievement. Even on the first day of school, juniors wonder, “When do class rings come in?” The rings sym¬ bolize that the juniors have officially “ar¬ rived.” Traditionally, the seniors are BMOC- —Big Men on Campus. Even before en¬ tering CCHS for their last year, most sen¬ iors anticipate graduation. Although sen¬ iors want this year to pass quickly, they also want to enjoy all the privileges such as: the senior lunch table and cutting in the lunch line. For many seniors this year’s spirit week, homecoming and prom will be their last. Even after the class of 1984 has graduated, they will hopefully have happy memories of CCHS. 1.
