Confusion Sets In What do the Sophomores’ first week of school and mini-arena have in common? Well, both are confusing, hectic and extremely nerve-wracking. The very first day is the easiest for the Sophomores. The school is virtually empty and classes last only ten minutes. The second day, however, things are a bit complicated since the school is filled with three times as many students. If classes were difficult to find before, they are virtually impossible to find on the second say. Another traumatic experience that many students encountered was the mini-arena. For over an hour students stood in the corri- dor, packed like sardines, just waiting for the mini-arena to start. Students who were lucky enough to get into the arena just had to stand in more lines and wait a little longer. There were some students whose schedules were easily fixed, but these stu- dents were few in number. The majority of the students had to stay at the mini-arena for an addi- tional hour or two. Students were soon settled into the classes of their choice. Junior Amanda Vaughan points out the way to a confused Susan Brown. Mr. Robinson helps Richard Vyce straighten out his schedule. 18 Mini-arena

Spare Time Spare time involves anything from a minute between classes to a full block off. This extra time allows us to start our homework early, catch a quick snack, or go uptown to shop. It also gives us time to meet friends and talk. Of course, these few precious mo- ments are almost always con- structively spent. So relax, catch your breath, and enjoy your spare time. Sophomores gather outside of the main building. Jamie Lawrence is caught up in a good book. Karen Einstein, Hanne Tanskenen, and Ann-Catrin Sjoberg catch up on the latest gossip. 20 Spare Time
