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. Here, American History teacher, Mrs. Judy Swasey, discusses Reality Therapy.

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.
