lt Happens Every Year- The Registration Stomp! There May Be New Steps But lt's The Same Old Dance! Most students would rather sit in Chemistry, write a six page term paper or the multiplication tables 500 times than go through the torture of the Registration Stomp! With the opening of school, teachers and students had to prepare themselves mentally for the trial and tribulations that awaited on registration day. Six hundred students pushing and shoving to get to one table for one class. no doubt offered one period. was enough to give anyone gray hair. But there was some good with the bad. The absence of 250 freshmen. not knowing what in the world to do. made this year's day of reckoning somewhat smoother. As usual, many students found that they had to alter their schedules because class such as psychologyfsociology, biology, Algebra ll, and typing filled up quickly. But in the end everyone was put into five classes and no one was sent home because there was no room for them. A classic beginning to a classic year! Seniors line up for social studies classes. Even though they had to be here all day. there were still favorite periods wanted. Mrs. Adams registered students for typing. It was one of the classes that closed out quickly. 1595 16 m Q BT, few C: 'SQA -Pa Since they registered first. the Seniors spent most of the day just sitting in the bleachers talking.
