The new longer schedule provides stu- dents such as Steve Gaethje with time to be a library aide. By the time seventh hour ends, students are ready to go home. A tired Sylvia Avalos and Charlie Boling patiently wait for the bell. Seniors-19

Rob- in Saiz tries to decide on the seven classes she wants to take. The classroom hours were shorter but the actual day was longer as a result of the new seven-period sched- ule started at the beginning of the school year. Most students disliked the new schedule which included four periods before lunch and three in the after- noon. “Since we have lunch so early (11:47), the afternoons really drag,” complained Melissa Rocha. Other students complained of hav- ing more homework because they had an added class. For some, howev- er, the new schedule meant they were able to take a course they really want- ed but hadn’t been able to fit into their schedule before. As for the teachers, the new sched- ule added to an already high stack of papers and meant an extra prepara- tion for most. Many also disliked the shorter class periods since they found it hard to accomplish all they wanted to in less time. After an absence of many years, study halls once again found their way into the curriculum. Although many students signed up for one at the beginning of the year, they were dropping it and picking up a class second semester. When asked why she was getting out, Becky Peru re- plied: “Study hall is really a waste of time, and it gets pretty boring if you don’t have anything to do.” 18-Seniors Seven-Period Schedule

But that was exactly the case following the pinning of the six NHS initiates. After members David Annis and Michael Moreno pinned the new initi- ates, they were all excused from school until the start of fifth hour. “Mr. Faulkner, our NHS sponsor, told us to go out and have fun,” chuckled David. “Fun, ha! Here we are the ‘smartest’ students in the whole school and we couldn’t even figure out how to have fun. No one knew how to bowl. Cole’s Pizza was closed and we played six games of pool in about 15 minutes because we kept sinking the eight ball. We ended up going home to watch TV.” With only two senior members, all the parts in the initiation ceremony had to be split between Michael and David. “I guess I’ll just introduce Da- vid four different ways and hope ev- eryone doesn’t notice its the same person,” laughed Michael while pre- paring for the ceremony which was held in the multi-purpose room. 20-Junior Rotarians National Honor Society
