The First Day of School-Facing the Truth 6 AJA.; Wednesday morning. You have already knocked over your clock radio and have crawled out of bed. Scrambling to get out on time, questions pop into your mind; 'Why? Why am I awake this early?” The answer is - SCHOOL! O.K. Fine. You make it to school, but still have not accep- ted the fact that summer is OVER. First you go to home- room and receive your very own copy of the ”dos and don'ts of Riverhead High”. Next, the in- formation cards bombard you from all sides. Some things never change. Do you dare look at the clock? Time seems to pass so slowly but Yes! It’s lunchtime! Left: Michael Langhom reviews the offi- cial rules of the school after a much- too-short summer. The beach is far behind now. and a long school year is ahead. Homeroom is the transition place, preparing us for the learning ex- perience. Time to get together with your friends and joke about your teachers and classes. Summer experiences soon dominate the conversation. But, just when you start to hear the gossip you’ve been waiting for, the bell rings. It happens every time! Off to class again. As you pass through the crowd, new faces pop out everywhere; some talk- ing, some laughing, and some pushing and shoving (into you, of course!). End of the day. Correction; end of the First day of school. Amazingly, a smile breaks from your face. The smile usually means “O.K. Admit it and face the truth. You had a great first day.” Yes! In some strange way you have enjoyed yourself. First Day of School- 7
