f E Hoping for a big win over Richardson, the senior class sings the alma mater. fPeIIerinj HAPPEN Although few would admit it, most students looked forward to returning to school for one reason or another. Some came back at the end of summer hoping to be challenged academically. Others were anticipating a return to athletic competition. The main reason that the majority didn't mind the beginning of school too much was that they were hoping to see their friends. Friendships that tended to fade during the summer could be rekindled and new rela- tionships could be formed. Seniors were looking forward to their last year before they had to face the realities of college or the business world. Juniors were just start- ing to think about SAT's, ACT's, and their future plans. And the sophomores were ready to make the transition from junior high to the pressures of high school. No matter what the reason, it seemed that nearly everyone was about ready for school, ready for it to happen. fSchriner and Wilsonj

Students who went into classes with expectations for failure often discovered they were more able to handle their schedules than they thought. Others discovered that they were in too deep, and lightened their loads, a process which went on until the second semester. Athletic teams encountered their first obstacle: competition from other schools. They were sometimes surprised by how well the months of hard practice had prepared them 'for the challenge. Some seniors realized that they were more prepared for college than they had planned, while others found themselves hoping that the year wouldn't pass so quickly. Juniors realized that the college application process was closer than it seemed, and sophomores discovered that they didn't have to make so many ad- justments after all. So, as they made these fdiscoveries, students realized everything was beginning to happen. iSchriner and rWiIsoni .,..1u!!inn-ns. :g!,z HECE sponsor Mrs..
