8:00 a.m., August 25, 1978. The beginning of just another day. Well, not really. For the students of GCHS it was the beginning of school. As everyone in high school found their homeroom and renewed friendships and the mothers of the elementary school children left them to their new teachers, a certain excitement filled the air. Teachers once again distributed forms, forms, and more forms to complete or take home. Assemblies were held for Mr. Jenkins to welcome us back and to introduce new teachers who were just finding out how hectic school could be. With the new combinations locks on the lockers, a few students were tardy for the first class of the day, but by the end of the day most had conquered the problem. As recess passed by and second, third, and fourth periods were finished, most students were back in the swing of things. Lunch finally arrived and seventh graders discovered high school food was no different from elementary school food. The day progressed. FINALLY 2:50 p.m. arrived. No, it was not the ending of just another day, but the ending of the first day of school. Third grader's parents help them find their room. In high school, students learn what happened during the summer. 10
