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.

ST R S Students Teaching 7 hey thought J we were f special, said senior Julie Belasco, one of 41 local STARS who visited seven elementaries, Oct. 23-29. The RHS Students Teaching About the Risk of Smoking taught groups of six to eight fifth graders about the risk of smoking and how to quit. The seminar helped me learn things l didn't know, said senior Elizabeth Reedy. Puzzles and games helped the STARS students relay the knowledge they learned from David Waggnon in a three-day seminar. They really enjoyed it, said senior Michelle Kaihani. The elementary students wanted to learn, according to Kaihani. Watching them open up was the most rewarding part of the program, concluded Belasco, who has been in STARS for three years. - Dee Anna Ruskin f Ebony Engram 141 Student Life Senior Lee Jordan acts as a big brother to a local fifth grader in the STARS pro- gram.
