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!...?

LXVIIHQ Poofsfde art if Wiz S taffer: So, is this what you've done all summer? Sungoddess: Yeah, but every once in a while I turn over to even out my tan. Staffer: Have you thought about where you're going to college? Sungoddess: Somewhere in the sun belt, where I can cop a few rays between classes. l really don't know. The above conversation could have been between many GHS students this past summer. In Galesburg there were numerous places to go for tanning, swimming, golfing, or sliding. Among those were Lakelawn, Soangetaha, Lake Bracken, Oak Run, and Lake Storey. New in the area was the Rapid Ride waterslide. It was one of a kind as senior Shari Kellogg explained, At first when you go down, you think it's boring. Until you get about halfway, that's when you pick up speed. It opened Memorial Day weekend and closed Labor Day weekend. Senior Nancy Adcock said, I went out Memorial weekend. There were a whole bunch of people there! GHS students were also involved with their various jobs. Junior Greg Nixon commented, I worked all summer, played golf every day, and participated in Eve golf tournaments. Traveling was also a favorite pastime. Senior Grace Snowden had a busy summer because she moved from Germany to Mary- land to Illinois to Maryland and back to Illi- nois. Those not into all that hustle and bus- tle took more leisurely trips like junior Anne Simmons. I decided to fly to California to see my relatives and to catch up on some scuba diving. Closer to home was sophomore Denise Smith. I visited friends in Rock Island, went to summer basketball games, and was in the work program, Jill Viane, sophomore, had a musical summer. 'il went to the LI of I music camp with Kathy Sward. But, I had fun in Galesburg while I was here. Happy to be back in the United States, senior Kevin Crandall took his recreation seriously. I slept late. I'd go out and swim at the pool. Then, I went and saw movies. It was great being back from the Philippines. Oh! I went to New Mexico for two weeks, too. The ever-continuing sagas of daytime tele- vision attracted many fans. Sophomore Karen Robinson kept it simple, she slept 'til about IO, got up, watched soaps, and went to 'the CIub'. Junior Kristi Manual summed it all up, I love summer! But before you know it, fall creeps up on you and knocks you over with a pile of books. limi Senior Andy Weigand plummets into Lakelawn water at 9.8 meters per second.
