A problem arises when the fads exit the fashion scene before they enter the student’s closet. To get a head start on the fads and fashions, students can refer to this up- to-date guide on What’s Hot and What’s Not.

Some students show freshman fears by a lack of sleep; others wear a scared facial expression while walking down the huge halls. The first day of school brings the real test. Uncertainty about making a lot of friends or none, getting hard classes or easy, losing the way or getting laughed at, keeps students on their toes. These normal fears lessen as the year goes on, and as students feel more at home. As a sophomore, a student can defi¬ nitely say that the maturity shows. No longer does the student run to the side of the hall when an upperclassman starts walking towards him, nor does he hesitate to walk into the cafeteria for Studying intently, senior Niki Antonakos com pletes her homework assignment. Many students complete their assignments at school and keep their evenings free to go out. Ghjdwh At Lait fear of getting something thrown at him. A sophomore believes that he can conquer the world if necessary. Juniors, finally in the upper half of the school, start to develop the attitude of big shots. With no need to prove any thing to anyone, a junior assumes that an upperclassman will look up to him and as a result he walks with his head held high. Most juniors don’t allow the pressures of their junior year get them down or diminish their social life. At last students prepare for the final stretch. After three strenuous years, maturity has finally reached a new peak. The difficulty of school may not lessen, but the social life setting be comes the best ever. Now students must spend hours in deep thought about the future options hoping for ideas to form a perspective for the future. Hilary Kaden 30 Seniors
