Builds As The School Year Starts August 21, 1986. The dread- ed day had arrived. Once again school was under way at Mauldin High. Several changes faced students as the school year began. With more teachers and students than ever, Mauldin was set for the best year yet. Situation number one: Soc- rates scheduling. This year Socrates computer scheduling replaced the traditional arena scheduling. Although the computer scheduling was ef- ficient, it created several problems. Some students were scheduled for only a couple of classes while others received classes they didn't sign up for. During the first weeks of school havoc and ,Q :ft l , il W 1 . l ' ........ chaos prevailed in the guid- ance department. New classes, in addition to sunrise sunset courses, made scheduling more confusing than ever. Lisa Jennings said, Even though the schedule changes were hectic, guidance did a good job in correcting the problems in the new system. Situation number two: Freshmen. Although the freshman class was larger than ever before and the odds were against them. They still managed to make their begin- ning days of high school memorable. As the tradition of freshman torture contin- ued, the upperclassmen made sure their freshman year 4 S 10 Begmnag Of felon! would never be forgotten Along with the usual trash ing of freshmen , a new era o freshman pranks erupted From chasing freshmen t selling them elevator passes the seniors tried everything. Months later: The begin ning of school had passed The student body had onc again pulled through. Maul din was definitely off to good start. Laura Jenkins an Stephen Babb Football tickets, please.

No reminders of meetings, student activities, senior cruise, or spirit weeks would be posted. Robert Beesley, junior, said, I think the posters about meetings are great. It makes the halls look nice and not quite so boring. During freshman elections Vote for . . . posters hung all over the building. Roger Stinson, a candidate for freshman class president said, My father and I printed posters so students would re- member to vote for me. I think it is important to have enough publicity of my cam- paign so students will re- member me. Streamers, posters and signs decorated the four main hallways October 16. The ju- nior class won first place in the Hall of Pride competition. Orange and brown decora- tions were the climax of spirit week. Kristin Humphrey, a ju- nior, said, All the posters and streamers added to the plain hallways and the spirit of all the classes. Laura jenkins ,,,..--A-fr-455 45 I , ,kc ,ky 1
