The campus actually showed life. Students in football, cheerleading, band and drill team attended summer camps. A student mixer was held, and year- books were handed out. Then it was time to pick up schedules and to be assigned lockers. Finally on the morning of the first day, the alarm went off. Each person had to begin the routine that prepared him for the day ahead, whether it took 15 minutes or two hours. By 7:30 a.m., school started the pro- cess of waking up. Seniors and teachers taking zero hour had already arrived. At 8:30 a.m. school was into full swing. Students were greeted by old friends and new surroundings. The students then tackled the maze of classes complicated by the new tem- poraries and the new wing. Juniors at- tended history and health classes in the temporaries. After a year of construction, the jour- nalism rooms and the senior skills wing were opened. Mentally handicapped students became a part of the school when the new wing was added. To officially Hgreetu the students and explain the rules, assemblies were held by Vice-Principals Kent Bower- mon and Juli Mayfield.

I just can't wait till I become a junior to get those new sophomoresf, Howdy Day should be made so more people enjoy it better. It should be an all day thing.
