LOOKS OF CON FUSION were common on reg- istration day. Sophs. Julie Metzner and Paige Cor- ley compare schcdules hoping to have some classes together. IN ORDER TO get everyone's undivided at- tention, Student Council President Evan Ar- matas walks on the tables at the first student council meeting on August 27. Shcllcb' Waltz Shelley Waltz Take off the shades It's time again for vngtr ate rightened freshmen, along with sopho- mores, juniors, and seniors, all returned to school on August 25 for the day they had been dreading all summer: Registration Day. Although nobody enjoyed waiting in the long lines, walking into a bright and cheery cafeteria helped. Many students had mixed feelings about the day. Jr. Kelly Griesemer said, HI was happy to see classmates again, but sad to see the summer end. Registration was com- pleted in two days rather than the tradi- tional four, but ran just as smoothly. f'People knew what they were doing and lines seemed shorter, said Jr. Dana Murphy. Other upperclassmen were upset 1 4 Activities about the ban of hats, glasses, and props in their I.D. pictures. Sr. Bill Hollis said, I'm a senior now, we should be able to do things that are a little different! Once they got through registration, students had to get prepared for the first day dilemmas. No longer was school a distant thought, but a present reality. Students found much that was hard to adapt to. For some, waking up early after enjoying sleeping in late was the hardest thing. Jr. Brant Still said, Why not sleep in the first day of school when you're going to fall asleep in class any- way? Others found it most difficult to adjust to the amount of new underclass- men. Students agreed that finding their classes was definitely the most frustrat- ing. Jr. Josh Breckel said, I felt I was a freshman all over again. However, there were the select few, like Soph. Sara Struckman, who said, I knew where most of my classes were, because I didn't have any of the new rooms!', When lunchtime came, students scur- ried down the hall to the new cafeteria. I didn't really know where to go. Ijust followed the others, said Jr. Krissa Hal- lock. Some students liked the new lunch- room, while others felt lost in the crowd. Fr. Jeni Pagano said, Being a fresh- man, I didn't even know where to sit! Students were confused about what to do in the new study areas and unsure whether or not they liked it. Jr. Jenni Bedore said, Without the commons there was a loss of class unity. The week was made easier by Appre- ciation Week, which was like a welcome back for students and teachers. Junior Class President Danielle Armstrong said, It broke the ice and made new people feel more comfortable. As the week progressed, students were able to find most of their classes without having to ask someone else where they were, and the cafeteria began to seem as if it had always been there!
