Ti' A' un- N At registration students clanmier to get classes WELCOME REMI DER the LES' New tennis shoes pound- ed the floor, squeaking ,-,gg against the tile. paper '-'1 rustled in frantic hands, and shouts of Do you have... echoed in the B Multi-purpose room on August 27 and 28. Although it was not the first day of school, it was the first reminder that the carefree days of summer were over and that school was about to begin. I can't believe school is starting already, it seems like summer just started, said junior Gemaine Stark. As they stood waiting, projected schedules and emergency cards in hand, upperclassmen mingled, reuniting with summer-separated friends and finding familiar faces to chat with, while freshmen observed the new faces and began to make new friends. P ushing to get a class, Dan Arena and Georgia Su hand in reservation slips to the Social Studies department. Four under their bell, seniors Dawn Borman and Tisha Gardner converse outside the B multipurpose room after completing their last high school arena registration. As they approached the door, the anxiety grew more intense, even for the seniors. Will I get my classes? was a familiar thought as one peered through the double doors and viewed the masses of students running from table to table, grabbing cards, and pushing people in hopes of attaining the class to complete the perfect schedule. It was hectic. I couldn't get anything I wanted. I wanted Biology 4th period, but by the time I got there it was full, said Beth Leclercq. The addition of several new classes including ROTC, Choir, and Computer Applications, opened doors for more people's enrollment in electives. But some students found that these just weren't enough. People told me that it was going to be bad, but I didn't know it would make me cry, said freshman Jennifer Ruzicka. Once the final forms were filled out students sought the fresh air and less chaotic surroundings of the campus to talk about their adventures and compare schedules. Others sought a quick bite at Burger King or a relaxing aftemoon at Folsom Lake. New students attended an orientation rally held Thursday at 3 p.m. sponsored by Students Reaching Out. This rally introduced freshmen and transfer students to the faculty and campus as well as traditions such as the fight song and competition yell. It was an opportunity for the incoming students to become comfortable with the school and get aquainted with its program, said peer leader Fay Grundel. 5 tie .,,, what dn you likeldis fill ffifQififLQtQfffQEii ,Q,QQQQQ ,122i2ft like about al-gna regis ..,.,.,,, ,, ,.,-,.,-,. ,.,-,.,.,..-.-,-,-,.,-,-,.,.,.,-,-,-,-,.,.,.,.,.,.,. t ti ? ..... sea. i I like having arena registration, that way I don't get some teacher that I don't like.

'-.I The day that brought a new beginning for some and a new twist on an old way of life for others had come. ' For those who could be called freshmen, September 2 was a day looked upon with anxious anti- cipation. Mind-generated pictures of high school were in some cases reaffirmed by first day events, while in others they were disproved. I walked into my first class and saw a guy with a full beard. Then I knew I was in high school, said freshman Jean Spangenberg. I felt small. I was really scared and I felt out of place, said Jill Ratner. Freshmen were filled with feelings of fright and anxiety and upper- classmen often took advantage of this. I made the mistake of asking a sophomore where my class was, said John Taylor, freshman. For those veterans of high school life, the first day of school was appealing for various reasons. I was glad to be back so I could see all the people I missed during the summer, said senior Per Nielsen. I was glad that I could call freshmen, 'freshmen,' and not worry about being picked on, said Joey Dobrowalski, sophomore. An air of confidence could be sensed from the seniors on the first day of their final year. They were now at the top of the heap. It hasn't hit me yet that I'm a senior! I can do whatever I want now! I never thought I'd get here, said Julian Martinez. Now that I'm a senior, everyone is a freshman, said Felicia Heard jok- ingly. Classroom time consisted of what most considered to be insignificant events. Students often heard the same welcome speech six times during the day. I got tired of hearing classroom procedures and about the new attendance policy over and over. I also hated filling out those dumb three by five cards, said Brad Martin. First Day of School
