A New Beginning As summer comes to an end and the school doors open there is the usual air of excitement that goes along with the idea of starting something new. The Sophomore class members appear a little anxious, maybe it‘s the new building, different teachers or just the idea of a new environment that has to be adjusted to. The Juniors seem more relaxed in the environment they already know. Seniors appear to be enjoying the idea that this year has finally arrived. As we walk through the halls the usual opening day questions can be heard Where is E60? . “Why doesn't my locker open? , Mr. Who?”. All of these questions will be answered by the end of the first week when we are all settled into a new year. Before the school day begins students meet in the main foyer. Time for lunch, friends, and a chance to catch up on summer happenings The Office o Student Personnel Services is aiwass a busy place the first few days of school.
