Givo us a smilo. Ronnie Brooks and Albert Denys go to the stage to got a moment away from the crowded food center. The two sen- iors transferred from Mt. Pleasant. “We needed a change, said Denys. Photo by Andrea Hillis. People 160 Wh, ien two seniors from Mt. Pleasant transferred here just because they wanted to, people were puzzled. The question everyone asked was . . . us? enior year — the year students graduate with the friends they have grown up with. Some were met in elementary school, others in junior high, and most are known by the time the long await- ed for year arrives. But what about those unlucky students who change school with only one year left in their high school career? Most people would not do that. But two seniors from Mt. Pleasant actually wanted to transfer. “I was bored,” stated Ronnie Brooks, when talking of life at his former school. Albert Denys said, I wanted to meet new people. So they decided to do something about their problems. Through a little gentle persuasion between their parents and administrators. Brooks and Denys made their way into Santa Teresa because It was the farthest school in the district.” They did not pick ST for any of its merits, but when asked if they were glad they transferred, both answered in an emphatic, Yes! The people have been very friendly. They don't care what you are, said Denya. Brooks agreed and said it is Bigger, friendlier, and the peo- ple are just better to be around.” There are problems involved with changing schools. Denys said, We didn't know anyone, but we've met new people every- day.” It was also a pain to learn where things are and how the ad- ministration runs things. Commut- ing is another hassle. It takes about thirty minutes for them to get to school. When the two compare ST to their former school, they both agreed that we have Better school colors. They also said that ST is more spirited and has more rallies. Another plus is the teach- ers are cool,'' according to Brooks. So, for two new senior students, life turned out pretty well. When asked if they regretted the change, Denys said, Never!” By Andrea Hillis.
