Whew! It’s Hot! S corching heat held no barrier to the students’ enthusiasm on the first day of school. The excitement of seeing old friends and getting new classes for a new year was more than enough to keep their minds off the heat. Windows were kept open and fans were provided to relieve the 100° week-long heat wave. Direction signs, left by the class of ’83, were an addition to the school. These metal plates were most appreciated by the sophomores, since they were not familiar with the numbering of the classrooms. Even though the students were drenched with perspiration throughout the week, it was still one of memories. Student Council members James Palmer, Carlos Williams, and Sylvester Robinson prepare for the up- coming events by making the September Activities Cal- endar. Ed Browning wipes away the frustration and heat of the first day of school. Paula Parker racks her brain to remember her locker combination after having a summer vacation. 16 First Day
