However, sui to the conscious notorious tone of turn ann na rep- etitious speecheBffi clissroom rules and conduct, our n-cafns of summer quickly faded. This was a road we traveled to- gether. Were we doomed for a year of failure with nothing but constant chaotic activity? At the end of the first day, our bodies told us that we had definitely been to school — VA- CATION WAS OVER. However, hope remained that it would be a success- ful year. One change that caused a better start than the year past was the re- adoption of walk-around registra- tion. It may have required a little more work, claimed Mrs. Phillips. but it paid off in the long run with fewer class changes and a smoother beginning than last year. Other changes were evident. School neatness seemed to have been an administrative priority. The 1 lunch lines were corralled, the parkj lg lot was improved, and a aim job spruced up the 21-vol uildings. A s a solut ior crowdednejss, the district added new portable classrooms. Along wifn longer passing periods and a prom- ise of new lockers the year was well on it ' s way to being one of the best.

Juanelma Herring claimed, 1 can ' t wait for it to end! Leslie Arnold confessed that her first thoughts included, Did I do my home- work? The best part of class was get- ting involved. That was the only way to overcome the tedious bordem of lec- tures, notes, and writing assignments. What ' s exciting about boredom? Well, you can learn a lot in the tradi- tional required classes which in- crease yearly. The problem is that you always have to worry about homework in those classes. But how do you tell the difference? All science classes are tough, but all science classes aren ' t required. That holds true for each de- partment. Therefore, it doesn ' t work to dread just the required classes. We need to learn to be selective. Some classes are organized in a way that makes you look forward to going everyday — well, almost everyday. You get to cook (and eat your own food) in home economics. (Some might not con- sider that too exciting.) In T.V. produc- tion, you get to film and act in plays. Taking care of animals and preparing them for shows keeps the agriculture students busy. Participating and po- lishing your talents can result in profits onder earned in classes like ceramics, jewel- ry, leather, and art when you sell your projects.
