To allow students more of a role in determining their teachers, their classes and their class times, a college method of registration was adopted. “It was a pain. It took four hours and | got nobody | wanted,”’ said senior Rachel Maun. Time proved a problem for many. Waiting in lines for classes that were full when you got to the front of the line was a [| problem many students encountered. “I waited two hours for English,’ said junior Ayaz Pirani. “| should have taken 20 minutes, and it took five hours,” stated junior Brian Griffith. “There were problems at registration, but we can correct them,”’ said Principal Tom Kelly. ‘The overview of a college-type of registration has positive aspects.” “It took me three hours and all the time | thought how strange it all was, but it was not too bad. However, it could use organiza- tion,’’ added sophomore Elizabeth Faye. Although many were displeased with the disorganization and confusion of registra- tion, some did not mind all the hassle. ‘Il was happy with registration because | got all the classes I wanted,” said junior Laura Thompson. “‘It was worth the wait!’’ — Christine Martin “It could have been more organized. They should have moved the people through quicker.’”” — Sophomore Troy Dorsey “Once you go up to the front of the line, the classes were closed and you would have to do everything again.” — Junior Kim Tidwell 8 Student Life At registration senior Wendy Weber bubbles in her schedule for her last year of school.

fall, the entire student body is gathered in the boys’ gym raising Eagle spirit. “Pep rallies get you ‘hyped up’ for the game that night,” said senior Bill Hendrix. “I like pep rallies because they are fun and you get out of class,” said sophomore Stephanie Fagan. During a pep rally many activities, such as cheering to the fight song, watching the Eaglettes and band perform, and perform- ing skits, go on. “1 think the pep rallies have gone rather well,” said senior cheerleader Holly Jenkins. “The spirit is a lot louder since we are winning.” “It’s enjoyable to watch everyone have a good time,” said senior football player Robert Gomez. But, this fun almost ended when some seniors released rubber balls onto the gym floor from the top of the stands during the Plano pep rally. This “joke” almost caused a cancellation of pep rallies for the rest of the year. “I don’t think they should have cancelled the pep rallies,” said senior Wendi Rothschild. ‘‘That’s just seniors being seniors.” “Even though they were trying to have fun, it was dangerous,”’ said junior Eaglette Alison Rogers, who felt that the pep rallies should have been cancelled. Despite the differences of opinions, the pep rallies went on and an extra pep rally was scheduled for the bi-district playoffs. — Yvette Mohr 10 Student Life uccess of teams brings out spirit Around 9:30 every Friday morning in the | ;
