School in the making Teachers, students reform old habits Teaching, Studying, Grading. These are not the familar activities of summer, but these phrases often enter students minds when they hear Back to School . Students and teachers are all back not by popular demand from a three month vacation. And now that they're back, they plan to make the school year better and go by faster. Being a senior helps my year go by faster. I'm really excited about graduation, Alicia Taylor, senior, said. Summer time is when most students sleep late, but now that school has begun if one is not up on time they are usually late for school which, as we know, makes them tardy. The time I get up has changed now that school is here again and my curfew now has changed on weeknightsj' Michelle Kingsley, senior, said. School seemed to be changing a majority of students social activities. l was kind of ready to go back to school. The same thing HELPING OUT Gwynne Gil- liam, English teacher, gives Dominic Cuellar, senior, some extra help. She ex- plalned 19-8-4, by George Orwell to him. LECTURING ls Don Powers, science teacher. Mr. Powers lectures to his class on the development ol' pigment in the skin. 8 STUDENT LIFE every weekend got old and I was ready for football season to stan, Stacy Stephens, senior, said. My social life changed a lot after school started. I didn't get to go out that much on weeknights and my parents were beginning to come down hard on weekends also, Shelia Fifield, sophomore, said. After students and teachers settled into the new school year some improvements were noticed. When I went back to school, I was really impressed with the changes. Our football stadium was bigger and our sports program, coaches and equipment had really improved, Michelle said. Becoming 4A and all the improvements were things most students were excited about. But there were still the things students dreaded about school. There was waking up early, homework and weekday curfew changes. Everyone had their own way of dealing with the school year but they all seemed to want to make the best of it.
