 Pressure Builds for Juniors Pressure, pressure, pressure. If there’s one word to describe the way every student feels about school, it’s got to be pressure. The first few weeks of school are liveable, by the beginning of the third six weeks everyone is counting down the days to Christmas vacation. But, with Christmas vacation comes the end of the semester, and with the end of the semester comes finals. Cramming for one class and then for the other, staying up late, and waking up early are all a part of getting ready to pass some of those tests that seem to drag on forever. Before you know it they are all over and everyone is home for two weeks to take a break and get some of that pressure off. The two weeks fly by and soon it’s the start of a new six weeks, and what does that mean? Oh yes, the wonderful, never forgetable, research paper. With deadlines to meet, and still a ton of unanswered questions, again that horrible pressure begins to build. But somehow we manage to get through, and finally it’s just history. Nevertheless, the pressure is still building because now everyone wants to plan their Spring Break trips. After the planning, and the vacation, and even more school, we find ourselves in the midst of yet another round of finals. The pressure continues to rise along with the summer temperatures outside, and soon as the last final is taken, the ultimate relief you’ve been waiting for all year, is finally here. “It’s summer!’’, and the pressure is suddenly gone. — by Kriss Kruemke Photo by Tammy Bradley Coke machines make change from one dollar bills, if the bill is in good enough shape for the machine to recognize it from counterfeit.

■ Juniors Stephanie O’Brien, Kriss Kruemcke, and M’Lisa Stolle met outside the school after hearing about the fire. They planned to socialize together on their afternoon off. Krista Swenson and Denise Damstrom, juniors, leave school early after being dismissed due to smoke left from the supply room fire. Students Show Maturity Exiting from Fire At 1:20 p.m.,December 10, 1984, fire drill alarms sounded in Pflugerville High School. Pflugervill Volunteer Fire Department responded to an alarm at 1:20 p.m. on December 10. The fire began in the supply room beside the girls’ restroom across from the homemaking department. The cause of the fire was investigated and later labeled of ‘‘suspicious origin by the Assistant Chief of the Pflugerville Volunteer Fire Department, Ron Moellen- burg. The origin is suspected to be arson, stated Principal Larry Bradley . Within five minutes, the PVFD arrived and the fire was reached by hoses, despite rumors saying that buckets were used. Mr. Moellenburg stated that there was no use for a lot of water in the halls so “the fire was carried outside,” where the items on fire were watered down. Schudents, until that time, had been in- structed to remain on the tennis courts and to stay as far away from the building as possible. Mr. Moellenburg believed tje scjpp; jamd;ed tje omcodemt excellently, and teachers kept the students in order. If a similar situation should occur again, according to Mr. Moellenburg, students should follow instructions of teachers and administrators. We don't need students in the way of the firemen, added Mr. Moellenburg. — by Karen Brown — More Juniors and the entire student body was dismissed at 2:00. School resumed as usual the next day.
