FALL ’78 September 5, 1978 was a day of returning — the students returned to their books and the teachers returned to their black boards. Amid moans and groans over the end of the summer and the be- ginning of homework, the stu- dents sensed a new feeling of excitement. For the first time in a long while, the Senior. |unior and Sophomore classes were fa- miliar with the building and go- ing hack was almost like a home- coming. Due to orientation, the new Freshmen class had a sound idea of where they were going. Infact, there was a general feeling of anticipation, inspite of fore- bodings at the home work pros- pect. As the day progressed, students began to make new discoveries. The Freshmen learned that high school was going to be a lot differ- ent from junior high. The Soph- omores rejoiced in moving up from “frosh” status; the Juniors were looking forward to being upper classmen ... And for the Seniors? There was a feeling of relief. They had finally made it! The first day back to school — It was a day of many emotions, but everyone was sure of one thing: That this year would be only as good as he or she made it, and all were prepared to put forth their best.
