• • • I We looked forward to this day with mixed emotions — September 9 — the first day of the new school year. With the ringing of a bell, 2,587 students started back to the routine of everyday school life. It seemed difficult to forget about sum¬ mer splash parties, weiner roasts, and hours of extra sleep, but we soon found out we had to live differently. From the very first bugle, the pace is set. We are concerned with changing program cards, getting new books, greeting new friends, and becoming acquainted with new teachers. We struggle through the crowded halls, rush to classes and try to settle down to the business of learn¬ ing. As the dismissal bell rings, we hurry to our lockers won¬ dering what books to take home. Although feelings range from the obvious confusion of a freshman starting a new life, to the carefree confidence of a senior soon to end his high school career, everyone agrees that September is exciting. Carrying books isn ' t on easy task. Jack McKinney and Pat Dowdy are running into complications as they deliver text books from the storeroom to the class¬ room teacher. How will I ever get all my homework done? wonders Tom Hrinda as he tries to decide what books to take home.

Discussing assignments and helping each other with answers are Jill Johnson and Reggie Sohacki. Stairways are always crowded between classes as students rush to their next destination.

September 2 was an unforgettable evening for these two senior girls. Mr. Tom Higgins, a Gary disc jockey, interviews Football-O-Rama queen, Eleanor Buzuvis, while Mr. Gene Kirtland presents a bouquet of red roses to Pat Haberkorn, alternate. Students enjoy themselves at stag dances with very little dancing, but much laughing, talking, and strolling around to see who else has come for an evening of fun. tumn 8
