Today marks the end of our first school week and it has certainly been hectic. The entire stu- dent body is making exciting new changes We've acquired a snack bar (no tables for two weeks) and a new principal. Everyone is still mobbing the office either trying to switch classes, drop classes, or simply to get out of class. We didn’t have an assembly on the first day. but Mr. Campbell gave his talk on Friday. He first discussed the spray paint on the front of the school stating Legalize Marijuana. Everyone was shocked and offended. Afterwards he gave us a great pep talk and won everyone over. This week has also been full of club meetings. Today marked our first class meetings. Classes elected officers and selected our Homecoming candidates. Student Council met for the first time and there was mass confusion. Poor Lori B. must have had writer's cramps, and I’d hate to decipher her notes! Committees were set up with anxious volunteers. Yesterday Mr. Campbell surprised us with a fire drill and then really surprised us with a second one! Mrs. Woolley and concert choir are still de- bating on the new dresses and shirts. She's also starting practice for those trying out for Dis- trict Choir. Mrs. Hughes began her research paper rules. College Prep (C.P.) students were sur- prised to find research papers were due in No- vember instead of the traditional January. All of the football players are really fired up because tomorrow is the first game. School spir- it is at a new high and everyone is already mak- ing plans for the game tomorrow night. I think this year's going to be fun. Can’t wait l!!(!l!l!!!l( Later, MS. 10 Sophomores

Shaky knees, sweaty palms, butterflies in the stomach these are common characteristics of a sophomore student who is attempting to pass his driver's test for the first time. After what has seemed an almost endless 15 years, the big moment has arrived. Now. hopefully, all those hours in Driver's Ed. class, plus the time spent studying the diver s manual, will pay off. Everyone is told to go into a room where he will take the written test. If 75% or above is made on the test he is free to try to pass his driving test. The driving part of the test is prob- ably one of the most nerve-wracking exper- iences in the life of a 16-year-old. He feels that every move he makes is being watched and ana- lyzed by the instructor. He has this terrible pre- monition that an old lady or a young child is going to materialize out of thin air right in front of his car. The majority of sophomores do get through the test and if they don’t pass it the first time, few of them give up. Eventually that long await- Tresa Vogt Mike Walsh. Stu-Co Rep.

No more bumming rides from upper-classmen to and from Camp- bells. No more having parents drive to pick up a date or friend. Aftei finally getting that all-important slip of paper that gives him the right to drive, the ex- citement quickly subsides. There are so many other greater excitements and responsibilities ahead that getting a driver’s liscense will seem almost petty. But. the anticipation will never be forgotten, nor the intense feeling of accomplish- ment after receiving the little card with one’s name and picture that says he has the freedom to drive. Once the 16-year- old possesses the precious little card bearing his name, address, and a not- so becoming picture, his worries become paying for insurance and gas. Sophomores ll
