H-nu.-Q--un Lfvfng Schoofsfde romptly, or not so promptly, around 7:45 am. on August 27th students at GHS started falling back into the yearly routine that they hate or love, dread or anticipate, run from or find relief in . . . school. Beginning August 27 is much too early, objected Missy Gregory, junior, Everybody else starts after Labor Day why can't we? The lockers open and close by combinations they swore they forgot. They compare classes with friends: they ask themselves What did l do this summer? The summer was too short, for Michelle Van Winkle, junior, but she was glad to come back to friends. Gretchen Workheiser, junior, said that she was happy to see all of her old teachers. For some of those coming to GHS that fateful Tues- day, the experience was intimidating. This school is so big, said Amy Paul, freshman, Were only freshmeng we haven't learned to push our way through tcrowdsif' Some of the more experienced class-goers were relieved that they were no longer the aim of Hrst-day-of school freshman jokes. Sophomore Christine Johnson said, l'mjust glad not to be a freshman anymore. No more third floor or basement classes to fool her. A common thought of all classes on the first day was the evils of education. . . morning classes, homework, lunch-or lack there of, books, studying, or even remembering needed items. Sophomore yearbook staffer Natalie Kessler, said, l hate coming back to school because I have to take pictures the first two days of school. Some of the older GHS students looked forward to school for different reasons. Susie Browning, senior, was looking forward to the social stuff . . . but the homework doesn't sound too great. Some seniors were already looking forward to graduation and col- lege as Kacey Ericson was, Other members of the class of '86 had their doubts. Julie Reinertson said f'We've always looked forward to our senior year. lt's finally here--now what? Lynne Bel- lamy wasn't too excited about coming back, because the sooner it starts, the sooner it ends. l'll miss it all so much, she said. Even the school ofhcials had their comments on the first day of school--mostly discussed over coffee in the privacy of the teachers' lounges. Mr. Glenn Busse, social studies teacher, told a yearbook staffer, l walked around today looking at all the excitement people had. l just wish we could bottle some of it up so we could release a little in January when everybody is so fblah'. No matter whether it was anticipated or dreaded, the 27th of August started off the 1985-1986 school year. Perhaps senior Kim Bican said it best, This is it. ri.-:.... , . za.-rr ...r 8 s. 3,Z.'1'1E'i1 .'!2Q!...?
