 ft r hate the morning pep assemblies being held in the vj, morning this year, I don’t feel like yelling that early and besides, my bus doesn’t get here that early. -Beverly Powell , J tmc[ bhcmb upm vlCt tu. IRlflOClQ UGQ f Reality of tougher school year hits students early Hot days passed by quicker than xpected and soon the morning of Aug. 7 rolled around. Yet. when the doors pened to begin another school year, the »eling inside was different. During the summer, while most 'ere enjoying their vacations. Ross erot and a committee reviewing the exas school systems were hard at work nding fault with the educational sys- ;m. “1 hate the pep assemblies being eld in the morning this year. 1 don’t feel ke yelling my head off that early and besides, my bus doesn't get here that early.” commented sophomore Beverly Powell. Other changes involved a grading system that outlined 70 percent as fail- ing and an attendance policy that made five days, excused or unexcused, grounds for failure. Yet. the excitement of a new year in general still existed. Freshman Orienta- tion was held to allow incoming stu- dents a glimpse of their new school. On Sept. 8. the Senate sponsored the Mixer in the lunchroom. This was an annual dance that gave all classifications a chance to mix together and become well acquainted. Some things such as greet- ings. welcoming smiles and talk of summer would never change as a vital part of school reopening. As the excitement and activities of the beginning of the year passed, the tough standards and pressures stayed. Students realized that this year would be different. •Linda Villarreal mm m m m
