The morning drearies. Junior Martha Sandige and sophomores Greg Nowling and David Gibson hurry to homeroom during the first week of school. On the first day of school, the high temperature and humidity made everyone wish that the summer vacation hadn’t ended so soon. In the unairconditioned rooms, students longed to be back in the swimming pools or at the beach. However, most were glad to see friends that they hadn’t seen during the summer. With maps and schedules clutched in hand, the new Freshmen and Sophomores ventured through the halls and attempted to find their classes. Senior SCA Big Brothers and Sisters and hall guides helped direct them throughout the school. At the orientation several days earlier, the new students had gathered in the auditorium. Mr. Anthony had informed them of the rules and regulations governing the school. The SCA officers had related the importance of getting involved in school activities as sports, music, service clubs, and other organizations. Later, the Big Brothers and Sisters stood and gathered their homerooms by making animal sounds. New students making their designated sounds wandered around the auditorium until they found the seniors who were making the same sound. After the homerooms had been collected, the hall guides had took them on tours of the school and then to a reception in the cafeteria. After having attended the orientation, the new Rebels had a fair sense of direction on the first day of school. Even after their first day they had feelings of acceptance by the other students and anticipation of the exciting years to come. Handy helpers. During a morning visit in their sophomore homeroom, seniors Mark Grubbs and Becky Schaffer discuss pep rally activities with the new rebels. 8 First Day And Orientation
