Disorientation BEGINNING OF SCHOOL Apprehensiveness characterized ninth graders on Orientation Day. For some, it was a major task to find their way to the high school auditorium. First, they sat through a lecture on tardiness and suspension delivered by Mr. Mass. Then, Chris Koch, a junior, tried to encourage the freshmen to get involved in student government. Fringe benefits included meeting new people and having teachers say, Oh. you're so special.” As they went through their class schedule, they were told the basic rules such as, Keep your hands and feet to yourself and all that stuff you learned in kindergarten.” One student found that when you're on third floor in North Wing and have to go to the first floor in South Wing, it’s very difficult to find your way there.” She asked a friend how to get to her room, but the friend only said. I don’t know. I'm new here, too. By the end of the day. the ninth graders could hardly wait to return to the security of their own homes. Ring sales and picture day were other important events which marked the beginning of school. A few seniors thought that by having their pictures taken with the underclassmen, they would be allowed to remain at least one more year at the high school. Top: Kevin Arnold. Eric Sorenson.
