It can be a beconing call or a mortifying dread. A symbol of the beginning or of the very end. You may be asking yourself — “What is this monumental event that can bring about so many mixed feelings?” Well, the answer to your question is registration time. To some, registration can be a beginning, but to others, it can be a symbol of the closing of summer. Although the subject may be very con- troversial, the routine is still the same. 4s the students trudge into the familiar school to register, they will learn their class schedules, locker assignments, and have a chance to talk over any problems with either Mr. Sapping-ton or Mr. Meredith. For freshmen, the experience can be a scary one. A thousand questions plague them at once. “What if my locker doesn’t work? What if I have my locker by him? How will I find my classroom? It is scary, but it’s exciting and fun at the same time. All the people you'll meet and make friends with and the new experiences are waiting for you. After you get your locker open and dodge the three seniors with chains that guard the bathroom. To all the upperclassmen it is a simple process and may make them start thinking towards the upcoming marching, football, or volleyball season, and the thousand other activities they can be in. Memories of the summer parties and sleeping late merge with memories from other years of sock-hops, basketball games, marching band practices late into the night, and the dead mouse you put in your best friend’s locker. You have to say good-bye to summer, hello to school. The seniors may be coming in with slight apprehension and disbelief that they have finally reached the top of the ladder. A long list of good times and not so good times stretch behind them and some are already making plans to make the most of their last and possibly best year of all. Whatever grade you are in or what your opinions about registration may be, it is a process that can set the mood for the school year, and set your sights on the good times ahead.
