No: late nights. suntans, jams, vacations or fun: It’s not summer anymore Summer is a time for parties, fun and NO SCHOOL, but every year students all across America make one of the most difficult transitions — going back to school. No one quite understands why it is so difficult to make this back-to-school transition. Maybe it is the thought of the boring ride on the bus to school or sitting in class after class or the memory of homework. Could it be that school is just no fun?? OF COURSE NOT! Where else can you be updated about who is dating whom? Where else do you get to dress up in crazy costumes for Spirit Week? Where else do you squeeze talking to friends into only 5 minutes between classes, and get almost 2 weeks vacation every Christmas? But on the negative side, where else do you get to take the dreaded final exams TWICE a year? Where else can you get after-schools and inschools, AND get only a half hour for lunch! Actually school’s not THAT bad — it’s the switch from freedom to “rules” that’s so hard. Well, it’s almost over for you SENIORS, but it’s only beginning for the FRESHMEN! Just enjoy it while you can because you’ll treasure these times forever! 6 STUDENT LIFE

and Remodeling of Edwardsville Senior High If you haven’t noticed the construction work on the third floor then you must not attend Edwardsville Senior High. When classes terminated at the close of the 1987 school year the real work of remodeling the science laboratories, then counseling offices and an English room had only begun. The work started off on schedule but was delayed upon the discovery of asbestos in the classrooms. It was pushed so far behind schedule that the High School had to make revisions as to where classes would meet for the first semester of the 1988 school year. The third floor currently isn’t a very pretty sight, what with half of the hallway gone and boards and hoses everywhere, but the results should be well worth the inconvenience. The science laboratories will be fully equipped with the latest innovations and the ventilation of the air is to be improved. The students who make that embarrassing trek over to the Junior High every day are the only ones who really suffered because of the wait. Even though it was chaotic the first few weeks of school, we will have new and improved classrooms to look forward to once work is completed. 8 STUDENT LIFE
