Starting school before Labor Day cut everyone's vacation a. bit short, but most students seemed ready to tackle a new school year. And why not? It had been an in- credible summer of the 1982 World's Fair, the space- fantasy, E.T., campaigns for an off-year election, the birth of a royal baby, and delegates to both Boys' and Girls' Nation. The annual au- ditorium assembly included Principal james Smith's work and play speech, junior and senior class yells, and the sophomores' expected Mickey Mouse label. Yet beneath the surface, changes were visible. Girls traded their walking shorts and bathing suits for mini-skirts, low-heeled shoes, and culottes. Boys dressed up more than down, STICK-UP - Seniors Barry' Martin and Wess Mullen clown around while on a tour of the State Capital during Boys' State.

A smaller student body meant a smaller faculty and more one- shot classes. The one-shots, such and calculus, gave most students schedule problems, and the guidance office became the jammedest place to be. A new home- room system added another classroom to locate, and five minutes to waste, get caught up, or whatever. At the sounding of the noon bell, students scattered to find lunch spots, buy parking spaces and school supplies, and rediscover summer in a soap opera, swimming pool, or at the lake. The rediscovery was short, however, for Tuesday arrived in record time, and it was back to school for a first period class. Then came four full days before Labor Day brought a one-day relief.
