K p y% y On the first day of school, students were given the annual welcome back speech in the new gym (which is really the old, new gym). The students were informed about the new seven period a day schedule which shortened classes and required teachers to cover more material in less time. Stress was evident in everyone ' s face. 7 re best thing about going back to school again is you get to see all the people that you didn t see over summer and how much they changed. — Paul Newberg it soon became obvious that the changed pace was taking its toll on ev- eryone. Although at times it seemed the days would never end, and that the week- ends would never come — the end of the nine weeks ended almost unex- pectedly.

School never changed, but a student ' s life never stayed the same. When could a guy change into a girl? Take your pick: powder puff or morp. Guys could fulfill their wildest fantasies and be cheerleaders for a female football game, or they could enjoy an evening of being treated to dinner and a dance. Roles changed back for a romantic night of love — prom. A quiet dinner and glimmering lights led up to an evening spent with friends. Girls wondered if anyone would be wearing identical dresses, while their escorts worried about having enough money and driving a nice car. Graduation: It ' s a time of change. Anticipation grew the entire year. Caps and gowns, invitations, applica- tions, money, and parties all cluttered together in the frantic rush to get everything done. One thing was certain, life was changing. What would it bring? Rock concerts atlhe Coliseum, such as the Motley Crue concert, are packed by stu- dents from the Ft. Wayne area on Friday the 13.
