Watch out! You may get splotched by dripping paint. As August drew to a close, painters could be seen putting the finishing touches on D.H.S. walls. It's That Time Of Year Back To School Oh No! It just can't be August 30 already! This was the feeling of almost everyone when it came time to go back to school and do away with sleeping in until noon, watching All My Children , General Hospital , and many other daytime soaps. Gone were the days at the pool and the nights at parties. Even cruising Main Street was no longer an every night activity. Now, with school back in session, nights were spent with one thing — books! Everyone went about getting ready for the school year in his own way. After dusting off the bookcases, teachers could be found preparing the dreaded ditto, devising seating charts, finding just the right books, and decorating their rooms. As fall approached, painters put the finishing touches of new color on the hallways. Students got ready for the school year in many different ways, too. There were new clothes to buy, as well as notebooks and pencils. And that was just the beginning! Then you had to pay book rental ($22.00) and towel fee ($2.00), buy a lock ($2.50) and student I.D. card ($.25). Once school started, some students had to add a little zip to the normally drab lockers by decorating them with pictures of friends, idols or even themselves! As school got into full swing, kids seemed to fall into a pattern of daily events ... only to be broken again by summer vacation. Before August 30, English teacher Mrs. Koerner arrives at school with a poster pertaining to the new homework policy. Finding just the right spot for each student, Mrs. Hix readies herself for the onslaught of the first day when approximately 100 sophomores, juniors, and seniors will converge upon Room 306. 12 Back To School
