As Fred walked through the front foyer doors Tuesday morning, he was surprised to find before him an island paradise. Pineapples, palm trees, and flowers bearing the names of all freshmen covered the walls, and a huge ban- ner welcoming the class of '86 spanned the courtyard win- dows. Fred decided that this must mean it was the beginn- ing of the famed Aloha Week. At 3rd period, Fred and all the other freshmen were herded into the auditorium to be entertained with the freshman skit. The LC gave their version of Beach Blanket Bingof' and Fred was in stitches the rest of the day. That night, he went to the roller skating party and couldn't believe his eyes. All the seniors were wearing their best polyester outfits, and Fred was really embarrassed when he mistook one of them for his grandmother. On Wednesday, Fred enjoyed dress-up day. He wore his brother's OP T-shirt and Hawaiian shorts. Other students wore anything from loud shirts to grass skirts, giving 1 ilei.-aff? ....W,...r .... - - .. r,,.f,MW -' What do you mean my skirt is see-through?

On Thursday, Fred and all the others were once again herded into the auditoirum for The Sunshine Boysl' concert. Fred got stuck behind a group of screaming girls and couldn't even see the band, much less hear them. However, Club Day turned out better for Fred. He managed to push his way through crowds of other students to join three different clubs. Although Fred had a blast throughout the week, he was really nervous about the Aloha Dance Saturday night. He had never been to a dance before, and he had asked a girl in his GPS class to go with him. Despite all of Fred's worrying, he and his date had a great time from the mo- ment his parents dropped them off to the moment they picked them up. That night, Fred collapsed in bed and thought about his first exciting Howdy Week. Now that he had received his first taste of life at Paschal, he couldn't wait for the years ahead!

'Na 1M mr-W Registration Begins New Year Wearing an outfit she had planned for days, the fourteen year old opened one of the heavy doors and followed the flow of other freshmen. She found herself in the large auditorium where the class of 1986 was divided into homerooms. A teacher led her to a room and handed her a computer printout of her schedule. After an hour of wandering through a maze of breezeways and halls, she had finally located all her classes. She walked down the hall, wondering if the next four years would be as chaotic as this day had been. Little did she know that for the next three years she would rush through the same hall trying to decide what elective to take third period - typing or French. Many a registration would be spent begging Ms. Wright to take just one more person in period two or racing to get a place in OAA. In years to come, the annoyance of twenty minute lines would fade away as she chose a schedule to fit her needs and interests. K 5 lk I should have stayed in bed this morning! Leslie Boorman finds registration a hassle. Adrian Duran, Lisa Kinard, and Lori Sullivan discuss schedules at registration. Cynthia Quesada signs up for a class with Coach Earwood as Sylvia Arredondo watches.
