After a long fun summer, students appeared at the end of August for another school year. Working strenuously, students got back into the ‘'routine” of studying, taking tests, grades, sports, and club activities. However, students were greeted with changes in school policies. Athletes have a new sports code to follow. The code is basically the same as in the previous years, except these rules are now printed. Therefore, all athletes and their parents know the possible penalties for any violations. Since finals are now required, many students feel that attendance may drop. If this happens, the school could lose money with lower attendance. Back-to-school dance, sponsored by Student Council, was successful. The student-faculty picnic was held, followed by the student-faculty baseball game in the park, ending with a score of 6-4, in favor of the faculty. Maybe new changes and challenges that greeted students as they returned to school were not so routine after all!
