Upon arriving at school, Jackie Jacobson is all smiles. Back in the Swing of Things J ust as the tide always comes in and waves re¬ turn to the shore, summer vacation ultimately ended and students found their way back to the classrooms. As students stepped off the buses and left their cars in the parking lot that first day, they greeted their old friends in front of the big, red doors. Just inside, they found signs hanging on the walls saying, “Welcome Back!” Sopho¬ mores were overwhelmed by the size of a high school. Juniors and seniors who wished to say “Hi” to their previous teachers some¬ times had trouble because many teachers had moved to different rooms. School be¬ gan a week earlier than in previous years. Many teachers brought fans for their classrooms to compen¬ sate for the hot and humid weather. Students found the new trends in hairstyles and cloth¬ ing a refreshing change. Some students, both guys and girls, had cut their hair short on the sides but let the back grow out in a “rat tail.” Some had even dyed the rat tails orange, green and other bright colors. Others just braided theirs. Haircuts in which the hair around the ears is shaven razor-short were also popular. Students enjoyed wearing clothes that made them look different. They stood out in crowds by wearing bright colored socks, odd jewelry, plaids, thick shoelaces, sunglasses and mini-skirts. After entering the school, Ju¬ nior Derrick Jones is adjusting to the light. On the first day, Juniors Pam McGee and Belinda Perry look for their homerooms. Return to School — 11

Best Years of Our Lives T hese were the years when students could con¬ centrate on learning, have new experiences, grow and enjoy themselves without worrying about too many outside responsibilities. High school was not only the place to attend classes, but also the place to nurture friendships, some of which may last a lifetime. People got to know each other as they walked through the halls, sat at lunch, struggled with their lockers or played frizbee. Happily disembarking, James Blakeney prepares for the first day of school. Studying together makes class more enjoyable for Joseph Hunter and Normand Lezy. Best Years — 13
