Students get a head start on PERFECTION Its time to get up earlier, a lot earlier! Seeing old fac- es and meeting new friends help get students back into the swing of things. It's time for classwork, home- work and gym. The first day of school was somewhat confusing: People here, people there, people every- where! Teachers and parent volun- teers were pointing students to the right direction only to have them go in the wrong direc- tion! Sixth grader Robin Riek thought, The first day of middle school, on the whole, was a dif- ferent experience. It was a new school, new faces and seven different classes, but with the help of kind stu- dents and teachers it turned out great. Our seventh and eighth graders found changes had taken place over the sum- mer. Mr. Burns, the sev- enth grade administrator, Mr. Krassner the eighth grade administrator and Mrs. Green the sixth grade guidance counselor had all transferred to different schools. Students were in- troduced to Mr. Linder who came to us from Tarpon Middle as the sev- enth grade admin- istrator. Mr. Cox is the new eighth grade administra- tor who was previ- ously administrator at Bay Point Middle. Mrs. Akram is from Boston, and is the new sixth grade counselor. These new administrators and counselors are work- ing closely with students to make 1987-88 a perfect year. Opening l 5

Yearbook staff members Maggie McCul- lar, Kristen Smith, Whitney Duncan, Shannon Kinane, Becky Rider, Ierusha Azel and Matt Crist rest their weary bo- dies after returning home from four gru- eling days at the Taylor Summer Seminar at USF. Busy time, lazy time, SUMMERTIME Even if you like school, around the middle of May a feeling starts to develop that is similar to the one that you get before you go to bed on Christmas Eve. You know something good is going to hap- pen: Summer Vacation. Many students have their sum- mer activities planned well be- fore June 3. If they arenit taking a vacation with their families, they are having sleep overs, parties, getting that deep golden tan at the beach or whiling away the hours being what is popularly known as Mall Rats! What a great feeling it is to be free from pressure, books, homework and 8:30 bells. Camps provided an abundance of week-filled activities, as well as affording students the oppor- tunity to meet others outside their neighborhood and the SHMS hallways. The Reflections yearbook staff attended camp at University of South Florida from July 19-21. Staff members attend- ed classes that taught them every aspect of producing a yearbook. In addition to the classes students were invited to socials, dances and they spent a day at Busch Gardens. Although the staff came home exhausted, they were ready to begin producing another outstanding yearbook. The cheerleaders won many awards in the junior hightmiddle school division. Their spirit out shined all others as they retired for the evening with their uspirit stick which is awarded to the squad with the most school spirit. The volleyball teams benefitted from their camp as was evidenced by their winning sea- son. N o matter what you chose to do this summer, good friends and lazy days produced good times. Summer T 7
