Registration began, bright and early on Monday morning, August 16, at 8:30. All day long the upperclassman students came. A long line soon formed, and as the day drag- ged on the line shortened. Students came and then left - only not that quickly. Many stu- dents were glad they had brought pencils with erasers.

Well, you call and tell me, ok? Hems were ripped out and long hair was cut. Shoes were becoming mostly string, and black was the main color. Dresses were mid-length and colorful. Girls were starting to wear dresses more and more. They finally realized the boys noticed. Dresses, skirts, ond shoes were changed from brown to black. Other than block, stripes in rain- bow colors were splashing on to fabric. Boys were grabbing for the leather iackets and leisure suits. Both girls and boys were cut- ting their hair in wings, bangs which are feathered back over longer hair. A new accessory added to girls and boys wardrobe was the vest. A vest complements a nice, Sunday suit or just o plain pair of corduroy pants. Boots were back on the shoe racks because girls started buy- ing them to go with their gauc- hos, knee length coulotte pants. Wearing cords or ieans with empty belt loops was super, because belts were out. Sweaters were very popular with the boys as well as the gals. They were not only worn in the winter, but also the summer. Macrame iewelry hit it big with the girls. Silver necklaces and bracelets were seen r?'5.Ffft'i'Pr1ore than the gold.

New Faces, ess Space he gym was filled to capacity with standing room only as the new Freshmen gathered to receive their homeroom assignments. To describejhe first day of school at Jersey Village is almost impossible task. The halls were very full with the addition of almost 900 freshmen. Students new and old walked the halls in search of their assigned classes. Teachers had to help the new students and freshmen find where they belonged. Students straggled in late to most of their classes. Many had been side tracked on their way by old friends whom they hadn't seem all summer or they were iust plain lost. 5 3' e, Q , BK? 0 ig! ,A Q ,af ,Ky X 191 .

Halls were not considered a place of refuge as students made their way to each class. There were many new faces and much less space to move around in. The freshmen met in the gym where they were introduced to their homeroom teacher by Mr. Hopper, assistant principal. After a brief orientation, they were dismissed to their homeroom classes. The upperclassmen arrived at school and immediately looked at the chart in the commons for their assigned homeroom. ln homeroom everyone was given their schedules and many forms to fill out. Office cards, emergency cards and insurance forms were iust some of the paper work for the first day. Many of the schedules were incorrect but the students had to suffer with those classes until the counselors were free. As the day neared its end, the students were already making plans for the next day. Finding the right class was a difficult task for the new stu- dents and Freshmen. Robin McElfresh, Karen McLaughlin, and Becky McDaniel are on their way. I Because af overcrowded conditions, many classes were left without chairs for the first day. Freshmen Kathy McKnight, Kelley McMahon, and Laura McKinney don't seem to mind it much. Student Lifei4 l l Instructions and the making of class standards was done in every class.
