Chandelle was a non-school sponsored dance in which the senior girls invited the junior girls.

Students stand out in many ways As students walked down the halls, it seemed easy to distinguish sophomores, juniors, and seniors. Each class had differences which gave students their own class distinction. For the seniors, the year gave mixed feelings. Getting measured for caps and gowns and ordering their graduation announcements made the seniors realize that the end of high school was near. Although they looked forward to graduating, some seniors were sad about leaving. After spending three years here, I'm sorry to be going, but I'm looking forward to 36 X Student Life-Class Distinction college, senior Brenna O'Neill said. Next in line were the juniors. They looked forward to the coming year. Getting their class rings made them feel more a part of the school. The senior girls helped junior girls feel more secure by organizing Chandelle, which was a dance that was not school spon- sored. When I saw the pink envelope in the mailbox, I was so excited, junior Terri McConnell said. Last were the sophomores. Com- ing to a new school was over- whelming for some students. K i 'eg Gia UThe teachers expect more from you than they did in junior high, sophomore Michelle Marcus said. Sophomores didn't have as many privileges as the upperclassmen did. Some felt left out because they weren't able to drive. I felt I was being treated like a baby, sophomore Carrie Roberge said. Although they enjoyed their own class distinctions, each class looked forward to becoming a year older so they could gain new privileges and distinction. I can't wait to be able to go to Chandelle next year, sophomore jackie Lain said. llvlaclvlorranj Q 3? Q 5 x W. L31 'Nw QW-. ,W , QQ , .E .5 is

un-filled week Going alittle crazy A week filled with dressing in cos- tumes, giving and receiving mums, and decorating the halls of the school could only be the week of Homecoming. This was a time when dress code rules were forgotten and students could be as creative as they liked, within reason. I love Halloween dress-up day because it gives me a chance to wear my jams to school. junior Beth Ienkins said. There was also Nerd Day where students searched the depths of their closets try- ing to put together that true geek look. With all that activity going on, a more casual and relaxed atmosphere existed in the classrooms. It was sort of difficult to concentrate when a student is looking back at you with a fake bullet hole through his forehead and a blood-stained hand, Coach Bob DeVolll said. On the final day, various organiza- tions and the student body classes com- peted against one another for the best decorated hall. The seniors won first place with their hall imitation of the fairy tale Snow White. Extra time, work, and effort were put into creating the desired illusion for each hall. lt was a lot of hard work but on Friday when everyone came to school and saw our hall, it was all worth it, sophomore Laurie Silver- stein said. Students not only decorated the halls, but the lockers of the football players were wrapped for good luck in the week's big game. Cars were shoe pol- ished, and stop lights were covered in red, white, and blue crepe paper. Of all the weeks in the school year, Home- coming was most anticipated and event- ful for many. As sophomore lulia Butridge said, Throughout the year, I look most forward to Homecoming week because it gives us a chance to take a break from normal school life and go a little crazy. lDickson1 38 X Student Life - Homecoming For Halloween Day senior Lauren Vance goes for the baby look while senior Laura Neal is more into the flasher style. fPellerin1 Becoming a true geek, junior Kevin Hobbs outdoes himself in dressing up on Nerd Day, lPellerinl
