After the First Few Weeks . . . The Rest Is UPHILL I, - Steue Mav t ' s the beginning of the year. And things are different and yet the same. All summer long students slept late, stayed up late, just generally had fun. But with the beginning of the year comes some old and new difficulties. Upperclassmen are familiarly greeted with (or perhaps not greeted with) no bells. They do ring on special occa- sions like one-half of the way through periods, 2:00 in the morning, and dur- ing the Blue and Gold Game. The parking lot is a real challenge to drivers both old and new. Dodging potholes is an underestimated art. Scheduling is one of the top conversa- tion starters. It ' s always refreshing to know that you have Algebra 1 with Mr. Franks 2nd period and Yearbook with Mr. Martin 3rd period, with 6 minutes to get from point A to point B. At cer- tain times of the day, in certain parts of the hall it takes 12 minutes just to fight through the mob. Poor Freshmen, they arrive with dreams of freedom and dignity by the end of the first week they realize even HIGH SCHOOL has its bad points. But as the consoling thought, remember this, if you can make it through the first weeks the rest is uphill.
