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.

ulsating wildly, the new jukebox blasted out songs. A dream? Yes. Wishful think- ing? Yes. Senior Josh Parish stated in his campaign speech for SCA president last year, that when he was elected he would try and get the student body a jukebox, coke machines and the second half of the student parking lot paved. Many promises were not within Josh’s control and he ex- plained, ‘‘Our school is too crowded and we have no place to put them [the jukebox and soda machines].’’ He also not- ed that the jukebox is against the law because it could be a fire hazard with the size of our population. Christina Johnston, a sopho- more, felt that, ‘’We don’t real- ly need them because we couldn’t use them all day.” On the other hand junior Ja- net Mclntire said, ‘If he prom- ised them, | think we should get them. He owes us!!”” By Shawn McAniff Many students were shocked when we didn’t get our jukebox. A rock ‘n jukebox like the one at Pizza Hut was expected.
