(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.

Though every year is almost the same as the year before there is always something different happening. It ' s not as simple as good or bad. ue ' r ir - ' -rup and false Ta d CUenaki THE WILD PAIR.

Bryce Johnson receives many visitors during his hospital stay includ ing many from his girlfriend Bryce had to haoe surgery on his left knee after getting in- jured in the football game against San Marcos. 2 t ( ' fcc Yoli woke an hour before your small foreboding monster blasted out Ifie latest Top 10 hit. It ivas the one day a year that you ac- I . i tuaily Luoke up before the alarm Li Q LL ivent off. It was, of course, the A 1 J 1 first day of school. m If ' I w ' Your parents alivays tell you B I to go to bed early so you ' ll be I I I e± le to get up on time. The only J BB problem is that I always end up lying there Just staring at my walls until around midnight when I finally fall eisleep. I ' m so wound up that I wake up before my alarm anyway, Sarah f etheny said. There wasn ' t always a single solution to every situation, because there were many different ways of doing things. Times had changed as well as faces, and everyone had their own ideas about things. Even a traditionally football-minded com- munity went hoop crazy as the varsity boys bas- ketball team achieved national ranking as they eargerly sought the state title. I never really went to that many basketball games until we started winning a lot of games. I ' m hooked now though because they ' re just so ex- citing to watch. It ' s even great to watch them warm up because they put on a kind of show for the crowd, Krista Lebo said. The changes that ujould occur through the year created new traditions and altered old ones. For the first time in years a successful Homecoming dance was held. This new tradition in honor of the newly crowned court was made special by the recrowning of the court. It gave the students chance to see the court up close. I think that the dance was a lot of fun and il made fiomecoming weekend really special, Mi chele Hanson said. The arrangement of the classes was even changed when band and the dance team were, moved from sixth period to first period. The change brought problems for the clubs on campus because the change made morning meetings dif- ficult. The change had made it really hard to get announcements about the Junior Class to the peo- ple in band and Honeybees because they are out on the field when everyone else heard the an- nouncements. They miss meetings because they don ' t always know what ' s going on, Dayna Bry- ant said. There were many — different things about the year that brought new knowledge and friendship. Three foreign exchange students came to leeim about America as they taught us about friendship with those from other countries. Things were never Just black emd white because everyone had a different personality. By combin- ing everyone ' s ideas new and exciting things hap- pened that had never occurred before. It was not simply another year. It was a year that held both memories good and bad for everyone. Decisions were made that would shape futures, create change and make it an unforgettable year. It was the year we did things differently. RoxAime Bmum Rax nne Brown Opening
