They were fortu- nate enough to see great historical sites such as pyramids, The Statue of David,tand the Acropolis in Greece. Brent and Kraig remarked onthe experience by saying, Europe was incredible! I hope we can' return someday. I Another trip taken this summer, has created local Ir. Olympians. -The top-notch female basketball players of LSHS, traveled to Florida to compete! in the summer junior Olympics. Placing fourth Nationally, the girls brought home individual medals, and a Ir. Olympic team trophy, to make us proud!!! Although many hours were spent on the basketball court perfecting their strategic plays and those awesome slam-dunks, of course they found time to visit Disneyworld, soak up some rays, and scope out some guys! - ' Florida and Europe were not the only places where students spent their summer months. Other vacation spots included California, New York, and Hilton 'Head Island, only to name a few. Now that the planes have landed, and the suitcases have been une packed, we homebodies will just have to listen and drool over the luscious details of others' summer vacations.

Hello awff' he First Morning: :40-The alarm blares disturbing your peaceful sleep, you lazily reach over and slam it off, falling back into dreamland. :45-The alarm sounds again, and this time you drag yourself out of bed into the cold surround- ings. :13-You emerge from the shower and panic because your closet has been ransacked by your ju- nior high sister and you have T nothing to wear. E28-Your ride is late, 8 Pfemonition of what is to come. This typical situation, or 0116 rimilar to it, occurs every year- After leeping late all summer, just Setting lp was an obstacle to overcome. FOI' hose who made it through the horning hassles, the next step WGS .rriving to school by 7:45 a.m. The First Day: Even though students are here f0f seven hours every day, and some- times more with extra-curricular ac- tivities, some felt like it was not enough. Getting through and continuing this routine became diffi- cult and burdensome to maintain grades and sanity. Finding classes was a challenging task the first day, but daring students defied science by changing the laborious chore to com- mon habit. The First Evening: Something no one missed over the summer break was homework. At times, it seemed as if every teacher felt it was their responsibility to sup- ply at least two hours of homework an evening, forgetting that a student had four other classes in which to ex- pect homework. Many times watching a favorite TV program or spending endless hours on the phone, were given up so they could write MacBeth papers, complete Trig assignments, or cram for Monday's Vocab test. Getting to bed late adds to the tedious chore of rising in the morning. The First: High School will be remembered as an introduction, a beginning of firsts. Homecoming Week was the start of memorable experiences, plus the difficult task of convincing your parents to let you attend the dance feven though they chauffeur you to and from the dance, and accompany you at dinnerl. Suddenly the big day arrives, and possessing a drivers license is a reality, not a dream. This immediate metamorphosis causes immense problems such as begging dad for the keys or starving all week because you have foolishly spent lunch money on gas to cruise Third. Whatever high school problems may consist of, most students graduate with only the fondest of memories. Openmgfl v- - V . -W .V V ..a.,.....,......J....
