AVI GA Students everywhere cursed the clock and calendar on the first day of school, for that signified the conclusion of summer and the beginning of another year in education. Each class had different views on the beginning of the year. To freshmen it meant the end of tyranny in middle school and the beginning of initiations and being the objects of upperc1assmen's pranks. Fr. Kip Siemens said, I was nervous because it was so big and there were so many people. To sophomores the first day meant the end of life as the lowly freshmen. Juniors became upperclassmen, and the seniors finally came to the top after three long years of waiting. During class on the first day , many students thought longingly about the summer. The fun times with friends, sunbtnned skin, and late nights seemed so far off while staring out the window in math class that thoughts turned-to- other more desirable things. To seniors, a finale to the summer was the senior picnic. It provided a last fling during summer, as classes started two days later, on August 31. The picnic had activities ranging from volleyball to frisbee to just plain socializing. People were having a good time getting along with their alumni, said Sr. Lew Mitchell. The week before school began also brought many memories of something not as desirable as a picnic with friends: registration. A new Lori Reece r.

The picnic was a last chance for fun with friends before 'E school started. 'E B LL system was adopted, and while some suffered the guaranteed snafus, others thought that it made things better. Sr. Paul Jones said, I thought it went smoothly. I thought it was a good system, that it was better than last year. While the first day of school was no picnic either, it did resemble registration in at least one way. The forms were endless, as teacher had students fill out even more for their own records. Fonn-filling aside, students also enjoyed the chance to catch up on summer news with friends and prepare for another year of cursing the clock each moming.
