Starting the year off meant getting back into old habits and ■forming new ones. Getting adjusted to new routines and| experiences was all a part of the first day. o pening up T he first time was sup- posed to be the best. Some people looked forward to it with eager anticipation. Others dreaded it. The thing they all knew about it was the fact that everyone had to do it. It was the first day of school and it held different experiences in store for everyone. Facing high school for the first time was a frighten- ing experience for freshman Tim King. “Being here is like being in a big city and not knowing where you are go- ing. It's hard coming from a small junior high school to a large high school.'’ King said. Other people viewed the first day of school with ease. There’s not much difference in the first day this year and last year. You come back to school with the same people. There are a few new faces, but not many.’’ junior Keshia Wedgeworth said. Memories of last year haunted a small number of people. I'm still on the not clear list so that has made it hard for me.” senior Brett Spivey said. After an undesired de- luge sent students scurrying to find cover, rain damage had to be repaired. The rain made me wear shabby clothes when I had bought all new clothes. junior Kevin Edwards said. Mishaps also plagued students as the rain poured. 1 nearly wrecked my brother’s car.” junior Ken Dobbs said. Homeroom bored nearly everyone, stretching for nearly the first half of the day. Homeroom lasted two hours and that’s too long. It only took 10 minutes to do all the things we had to. senior Thomas Wilson said. Following the first time, many more days would fol- low. Once the anxiety was over and the routine began, school was as it had always been—maybe off to a boring and wet start—but as it had always been. -Aimcc Roebuck Same as always.

 )-U-M-B? Is this what describes those who take an active role in high school ac- tivities, those who make sure you have sideline spirit, halftime performances, wild pep assemblies and winning scores in all athletic games? D is for drill team. The male drill team who started practice in early August. These guys drilled and dril- led and drilled. It’s good for us because we got so much practice in. It’s hard to learn the maneuv- ers we do in three or four days in order to be ready for pep assemblies football games and competition,” Drill Team Commander Troy As- berry said. U is for unnecessary. It all depends on how one looks at it. If he thinks it requires too much time then he’s not fully into it. Since it’s tiring—even boring at times, those involved must realize they have to pay a price for everything. Varsity volley ball player Shelley Washington said. The re- ward for all of it is the ’thrill of victory,’ as they say. M is for meticulous. We go over everything again and again. We do it over and over until we get it in our heads such that our bodies automat- ically react in that manner,” Flag corps member Tracy Malone said. “It gets very monotonous and tempers do flare, but somehow you’ve got to weed out all the .un- necessary movements and get in the quick snaps and motions which accentuate your routine.” B stands for ball—as in football. ‘“Practice makes perfect,’ I always say. It has to be done if we want to win and have a good year.” junior Bryan Phillips said. Every athlete’s goal is to go to state and try his hand against the best, the very best, so it must be done.” Personally, 1 like the human contact, the exercise, the hit- ting of one man to another.” said Desmond Luster. “The band, cheerlead- ers, Silhouettes, football players, have to be nuts. 1 think, but then I guess it just depends on the type of per- son you are and what you deem important,’ said junior Anthony Dickerson -Tanisa effers You’re the one Silhouette member practiced mu) hour dur- ing the rummer month at chool and at their annual camp at Texas Women' I'nlnnit) durtnmg the month of |uly.
