COMBINING THE CAMPUSES Four minutes between classes may not seem like a long time. But the socializing the students accomplish in that precious amount of time may give them that extra push to get them through the day. Small gestures exchanged between classes can either make or break a day. Notes are passed along with smiles or frowns, raised eyebrows, or high five’s. Exercise is a must and students that have classes understand this. At the beginning of the year, almost all of the students are out of breath when they finally reach the top step. Even the athletes might find that they are caught off guard, when they reach the top step and let out a gasp. However, this constant conditioning finally builds up. The students may be physically able to make it up the stairs without hyperventilating by the end of the year. The sturdy railings provide that extra helping hand. The Mounties illustrate their reluctance to go back to the Academy by their fa- cial expressions. 4

A Tradition Throughout The Years The 1987-1988 school year began by the freshman class of 1991 being initiated into the school. Freshman initiation has been a school tradition throughout the years and this year was no different. The freshman were a little nervous at first but by the end of the week they were used to being humiliated by the seniors. At the Mount the initiation activities started on Mon- day as Baby Day. Tuesday was Sign Day where the seniors had to show their creativity. Wednesday was Grandma and Bag Lady Day. Thursday was Nerd Day. And Friday the Freshman had to “BE NICE TO BIG SISTER.” Maur Hill started their initiation off with Sign Day. Tuesday was Air Raid Day. This is when you would see the freshman guys on the ground more than you would see them standing. Thursday the freshman were treated as real Maurites on Hail all Freshman Day. Friday was Hail all Seniors Day. By the end of the week the freshman were glad it was over and they were already thinking of the many things they will do to their little brothers and sisters their SENIOR year. Kim Schneider, Judy Jackman and Krista Cameron Gilley pleads for mercy from his big Gehring try to smile their way out of being tor- brother, tured by their big sisters. They found out it didn’t help. U M 6
