It’s finally lunch time! Although the cafeteria is crowded and hot, and the students complain about the food, it is, for many, the high point of the day — second only to the bell at two o ' clock. Business teacher, Ms. Macher, helps the D.E.C.A. students, Sean Radcliff, Robby Ziese and May Szuszwalak straighten out the books after a busy morning at the school supply store. Typical Day Everyday, five days a week, the same routine happens. The familiar buzz of the alarm awakens you at an hour in which the only other being awake is a bright¬ eyed owl in the dark reaches of Man¬ assas. You stumble blindly through the halls trying your best to find the bath¬ room. Time passes quickly and before long you ' re hurrying to the corner to catch the loud bus. You grope your way among the crowded aisle to finally find your seat next to the biggest jerk in the whole school. Amazingly enough you get to school on time, only to find a change in the weather. Rain — a person ' s worst enemy. And naturally you have your out¬ door class during the hardest rainfall. The result? Dripping hair, runny make¬ up, stickly clothes, and a bad mood. The rest of the day has been ruined. For some unknown reason, you can ' t seem to find last night ' s homework. Your teachers all assign more work, and you ' re late to the rest of your classes. Finally the day ends and you board the same old, yellow bus. Tiresome and weary, you slouch down in the seat and ride home. As you open the door to your house, you throw vour books down and grab a snack. Another day is gone, but you know tomorrow will be the same, if not worse ... Desperate to meet deadlines, these students gravitate to the library. Here they find a quiet atmosphere for the last-minute efforts of the writers. Mr. Kelly desperately attempts to organize the morning announcements, so that they have their normal ring of importance and vitality, or, at least, tries not to mispronounce any of the words. Questioning a test grade, Keith Ebker talks with Mrs. Koman during his American Government class. Testing is an integral part of every student ' s day. 16 Special Events

If Fantasies Were Real ... Homecoming is the true beginning of the school year. Spirit, enthusiasm, and excitement are at a climax. The week of October 11-16 encompassed all of these feelings and the scene was set for Homecoming. The display of spirit by the faculty and students was visual in many forms. Col¬ ored chains and posters decorated the walls as individual classes lavished the school with ornaments in any attempt to prove that they had the most spirit. Teachers and administrators all wore matching shirts signifying their sense of unity and pride.
