iCOOSlS Inside No matter what our name was or where we lived, school was a major part of our lives. We knew what to expect from the one hundred and eighty school days when we began each year. We knew the set pattern for each day: six classes plus a half an hour for both lunch and project period. Not only did we know what each day contained, but we knew certain events would take place. We knew the year began with fall sports which were fol- lowed by basketball, wrestling and gym- nastics and then concluded with spring sports. We looked forward to home- coming, class tourney, prom, and graduation. Whether we were a freshman, sopho- more, junior, or senior, we knew what was expected of us. Seniors were the leaders of the school and needed thirty- two credits to graduate. Juniors faced U.S. History all year while sophomores were required to take English. Fresh- men were confronted with the new rou- tine of high school. However, there were factors which changed the way we expected things to happen. They were connections that made each day different. The heat which made the mercury rise till the temperature was in the eighties made the September days seem like summer, but the air conditioners which cooled the school gave us the choice to wear our winter sweaters. Talk of closing school or moving all sports practices to the morning gave the school year an unexpected beginning. Opening Connections I 1

Connections cont Books, homework, qjuizzes. and tests were still a part of ejach class which required us to complete our assign- ments. However, beirjg listed on the honor roll meant more} as students had to study harder to aihieve the same grades they received the previous year. This was a re sult of teachers being re- quired to use a stricter grading scale. Along with change; during school, normal events such a the traditional homecoming bon-fire were questioned because of liability policies. Also fund raisere were limited to control the amount of items being sold at one time. All the changes |which occurred caused the ordinary happenings to turn into special moments yhich made each day unique. Each day )ut together gave our year an inside connection as we re- placed the set routine suspense, and personality. with excitement. Karen Pfister Openina Connection I 1 I
