FIRST D Schedule confusion schoolg sophomores Emfgili di 6 lt soundsllike f m 4 Eli d2il E2l mg policy moved the first day of school to the day after Labor Day. The extra week didn't last long, said senior Amy Seck- inger, but l'm glad we had the extra week. Others, however, felt differently. I don't like starting a week later because it makes us graduate later, in June, said senior Dehliece Horton. Although opinions were mix- ed about when school should start, most were glad that it had. I loved the first day, stated Horton. lt was so exciting. You got to see all your friends again, your old teachers, and finally l'm a senior! I like being in high school now, said sophomore Shan- non Morel. You feel more im- portant being in high school than in junior high. While the first day proved to be exciting, it also proved to be confusing. The schedule pick-up was very unorganized. You didn't know what line to get into. There were no signs to tell you where to go, said senior Can- dy Kennedy. Schedule pick-up was a hassle, said sophomore Taurel Sergeant. lt was confusing and you had to wait a long time. I didn't know where to go. Also near the beginning of school was Sophomore Orien- tation. l didn't think Sophomore is it? This year a new Sophomores Art Rhea and a friend get help from attendance coordinator Walter Gast for their schedules. fMulveyJ 121 Student Life Orientation made much of a difference to me, stated Sergeant. Others felt like sophomore Katie Dudzinski. Sophomore Orientation gave me an idea of what to ex- pect, said Dudzinski. lt got me more acquainted with the atmosphere and how juniors and seniors would receive me as a sophomore. Admittedly, problems arose in the beginning of the year. 'There was some confusion at the beginning of the year with schedules and all, said Seckinger, But eventually everything worked out.

You have to enjoy it to work at it as much as varsity football players do. lt's worth it and I get a lot of personal rewards. -junior Tim Filiesi If you want to be good at what you do, you have to practice.
