(M en. Here it was once again, back to school. The sum- mer was really over, and the time had come to leave the shorts behind to once again wear your best new outfit for school. Every year was the same. No matter how well you prepared yourself there was stilt al- ways a bit of tension in the air on the first day of school. You woke up an hour early. Why. you didn ' t know, but it Just always happened. Could it have been that you had six new teachers to deal with? Could it have been that there would be 400 new faces on the campus you had to deal with. Or was it simply the fact that you would get to see people you already knew, your long lost friends from summer? It was probably a little of both, but you dealt with it just the same. With each class it became a little easier as you waited for that sacred sound, the bell. That special sound that signified that class was over and then finally that school was out. Though it seemed much the same every year a few changes were evident. The cafetorium which had only been a mass of bricks the year before had suddenly transformed itself into the center of the school ' s life. For a few short hours everyday throngs of students would flock there. Some would run white others would simply take their time. They arrived though, to study, socialize, and most of all eat. Once again, however, the students had quickly adapted to their new surroundings. HIGH FASHIOIi. Putting on a fashiion show is hard work as the students in French class learned.

ieti it c tte ta c£u Talk about confusion! If you were involved in too many clubs you were lucky if were sane by the end of the year. New difficulties came into play this year that had never happened be- fore; the dance team and band were first period. What did clubs do? Did they whither away and die? No they worked around the added difficulties in attempts to make their club the best ever. The schedules being switched around really posed a lot of problems this year but we worked it out by hav- ing a general assembly meeting in the morning one week and after school the next week. That made it possible for the members to usually make at least one meeting every two weeks, Darcelle Lamascus said. The problems for clubs were that if they had their meetings in the morning anyone who was in dance team or band would miss the meeting. If how- ever, they had their meeting in the af- ternoon the drill team, cheerleaders, and athlete ' s would miss the meeting because of practice. We half way solved our problem about meetings by having meeting dur- ing both lunches. It made it possible for everyone to come but our officers couldn ' t be at both meetings, Michele Hanson said. The new problem of meetings was only added to the problems of many clubs. Some clubs had to struggle to support themselves monetarily while other had plenty of money but not enough members. It ' s like every club in the school is trying to get you to buy something. I want to help out everyone but I Just don ' t have all the money in the world. It ' s really hard to say no sometimes because the people who are the sellers are your friends and you feel bad, Wayne Devora said. A big factor in deciding what clubs you wanted to be in is time. If you didn ' t have the time and you joined a club, you wouldn ' t be in it for long. Roxanne BrotDn be by Roxanne Brown .
