...And The Day Begins The sight of the long car traffic lines along Brahma Boulevard im- plied the opening of a new school year. The school back parking lot was once again occupied by the students cars. In addition, the 15 MPH speed limit of the school driveway was emphasized. Early that morning, some stu- dents took time to view and to stroll around the campus while they waited for the bell. Other groups of students conversed with friends in the hallways, while the rest waited to register in the office or talked with their counselors about sched- ule changes. For the returning King High students, it was the usual routine for their day to begin with the excitement of meeting new friends as well as their old ones, and new teachers. As for the freshmen class and few new other students, the day was totally confusing. Then there was the long lunch lines with the familiar menu, and for some, the beginning for homework. The lockers also became a big issue throughout the day. The administrative staff, coun- selors, and office staff were ex- tremely busy. Without their help in aiding the student body, the whole day would have been more hectic than it already was.
