iW Students Get A Head Start What were you doing those last few precious weeks ol summer? While some people were living it up hanging out at the beach or simply sleeping in, others were waking up at 7:00 a.m. to attend the START pro- gram. Freshman Joan Santos complained, It ' s so early! man Joan Santos complained, It ' s so early! The purpose of the four day program was to familiarize new students with North and to help them with schedule planning. But the real draw of the program was neither the orientation nor the schedule guidance. Most people came so they could register early, commented Vince Martinez. There were several goals that the staff of this program hoped to accomplish. One main goal was to help the freshmen feel at ease in their new surroundings. Mr. Anderson added, We hope that we accomplish these few main goals. Although these freshmen were giving up some of the last precious hours of summer to attend START, it paid off in the end. I didn ' t feel 1 was wasting my time, only using it wisely. 1 learned a lot from the START program! stated Jim Patterson. ••■ Deciding which courses to take their (reshman year, Tracy Rom- bold, Katie McCarty, and Mandi Liles look over the booklet which explains the courses available to freshmen.

The scared feelings at the beginning of school year. The people Freshmen commented on each of these things when asked what they thought about North. When school began freshmen weren ' t sure if they could ever have a good time at North. The campus was so big it was confusing, commented Kathleen Hansen. I was really nervous, Kim Noon added. There were so many people! As freshmen adjusted to North, they began to find things they liked. The freedom ' s fantastic! commented Stacey Richman. We could never go out to lunch in junior high, or arrange our own schedule either, added Emily Elders. As the school year wore on, freshmen noticed another thing that appealed to them - the people! Said Hansen of the older kids, They ' re a lot of fun! They ' re more sure of themselves, added Elders, and they have their own cars, too! Richman seemed to sum up the freshmen ' s thoughts when she said, It ' s an exciting experience! • • Concentrating on the activities at hand, Ellen Strzelewicz, My Hanh Tran. and Duane Bnckel watch as Transylvania Day ' s lunchtime activities untold. The contests on Transylvania Day were a paint-your- face competition, and a mummy-wrap. freshmen 141
