Students gather to leave their Thirteen hundred students rhowed up to claim their copy ofthe Trailblazer. Clutching their receipts in their hands, students slowly trickled into the school caf- eteria. The graduated seniors were the first to arrive back to their Alma Mater. You can be with all your friends and you get to see the graduated seniors for one last time, said Kevin Easley.

I liked getting to see all the people that were in my classes last year. I didn't like being squished though, Stacy Beers said. Held on the first day of school, September 1, the Yearbook Signing Party lasted three hours from 6:00-9:00 pm, with a total of 1,250 books passed out. Although one student, Carl Cuff said, Notice should have been given ear- lier that the party was the first day of school. There was still a large turnout and a crowded cafeteria, Books that were pur- chased last year cost 3517. Extra yearbooks were sold for 5,27 at the party for stu- dents who didn't get a chance to buy one. The jukebox music was played with country , rap , oldies , and current hits selections. The music was great be- cause it gave some entertain- ment, Tammy Armstrong said. I thought the staff chose a good variety of music, Frank Damommio said. Soft drinks were sold for a quarter. Eight canisters of Coke, Mr. Pibb, Sprite and Diet Coke were emptied by 9:00 pm. I liked the 2541 Cokes the most, said Mark VanVessem, and running out of quarters was the worst part. The only way I think the party could be improved is if the yearbook staff tells eve- ryone to bring his own pen so people won't ask if they can borrow someone elses, Brenda Cook said. Being on crutches the first day of school and dur- ing the Yearbook Signing Party was terrible, said Christy Ledford. My friends had to come to me to sign their books because I couldn't move through the crowd. I think the Yearbook Signing Party is important to have. Getting to see my friends for the very last time is the best thing about the Yearbook Signing Party, said Karen Gordon. Graduated seniors and friends who aren't in my classes I miss the most.
