Terror Hits!!! The Plague Strikes Again h no, IT’s back! When students least expected it, it snuck up on them. Like a plague that struck every year; it always returned, the first day of school, dreaded by some, anticipated by others. After days of laying in the sun, freedom, and sleeping in, the thought of sitting in class, homework, and waking up ear- ly horrified students. Susan Horwitz, a senior, shrugged, “‘It always seems like the sum- mer’s go so fast, I’m not ready foreschoolstosstant agains. Somehow most students man- aged to get out of bed and make it to school. By the time they got to school they were excited. Gwen Bond, a senior, ex- claimed, ’’| was excited, | want- ed to know who was gonna be in my classes and see my friends.’ The first day was a time to catch up on everyone's summer stories, show off new clothes, and get an idea of what classes would be like. New students tried to make it through the day without get- ting lost or feeling lonely. Nat- alie Hancock, a freshman, indi- cated she felt ‘nervous and alone.”’ But, as the day went on it got easier and easier and pretty soon even the freshman felt comfortable.

Knights At Night | And their maids in waiting ‘I Royal Night In Came- lot’’ was the theme for the 1988 Junior-Senior Prom. Two weeks before prom many could see the tension mounting in the face of Miss Wentworth, the Junior class sponsor. Music was provided by “’Crimson’’, who lived up to ex- pectations by playing through the night. Senior Debby Reaves thought, ‘’The band was bet- ter than a DJ because they played better music.” Many different colors danced around a transformed cafeteria. But not after many hours of hard work by the Ju- nior class. Senior Laura Seiffert sighed, “It was very time con- suming stapling and hanging crepe paper to the ceiling.”’ The evening was topped off with the crowning of the king and queen. Rikk Yeoman and Dana Neilson were both shocked at the outcome and honor. By Lori Page Spotlight on the King and Queen. Rikk Yeo- man and Dana Nielsen dance to the oohs and ahhs of the crowd.
