he party's 0 er More rules than ever Excuse me, where is D-Hall? a sophomore asked. As a few up- perclassmen guided Sophomores to their classes, others directed them toward imaginary halls and rooms. Lost sophomores, new rules, and hazing traditions were all part of the first day. Iuniors and Seniors may have felt comfortable on their first day back from summer, but the Sophomores didn't know what they were in for. Searching for classes and halls, not to mention lockers, was a constant struggle. Also, maintaining the tradition of showing their seniority, Seniors used signs to rate the Sophomores. I didn't look at my signs. I didn't want to see what they said! sophomore Iennifer Dickson said. Of course, much of the first day Traditionally, senior girls rate sophomore boys during the first week of school. Sophomores Brett Ardoin, Greg Giddens and lack Harry discuss how they felt about being dragged out of the cafeteria to face the displayed signs. lldryanl 7 Student Life - First Day was merely routine to Iuniors and Seniors. Everyone listened to R. I-I. Stamps, principal, when he read through the new Information Guide. I-Iowever, while much of it sounded the same as last year's, everyone had to learn and abide by some new rules. Additional re- quired class time, fewer unexcus- ed absences, and the removal of the smoking lounge had the greatest impact. Students filled out countless yellow bookforms and took home 'lRules and Curriculum Content papers to be signed, too. Did the Sophomores ever find their rooms? Probably not if they asked Seniors or luniors to help them. I would send them to D- Hall and laugh in their face when I saw them again, senior Iulie Reno said. IGoolsby and Inglel

Everyone somehow found some time to relax and enjoy the sun- shine. Vacations, television, and sleeping late were the most popular methods of relaxation. Although some students took trips to nearby places such as Padre Island, many went to places in other countries or even other continents. I went to Acapulco during the first week of summer. I loved it, sophomore Lynn Worley said. Sophomore Lars Reinhart went a little farther from home - he went to school in Germany. Going to school there was 10 times better than staying here, he said. Between vacations, many students and teachers got a chance to watch television. I like summer because I can watch television soap operas instead of teenage ones, English teacher Mrs. Linda jaffe said. Not having to get up at 6:30 a.m. for school was another advantage to summer, I hated for school to start because I had to get up so ear- ly again, junior Tony Aventa said. Once summer seemed to be en- ding, students had mixed feelings about going back to school. Some students were prepared for the first day. Many, however, express- ed the same attitude as junior Susan Banta, who said, I wasn't even close to ready for school to start. lSchrinerj Summer A Student Life X 11
