We’ve Got It? Sure we've got it, but if you blink you could miss it. You know ... summer — that one week every year when it’s not snowing? When you can actually walk outside without having icicles form on your nose? I mean, snow's fine and everyone knows we've got “The Greatest Snow on Earth — but all year long? With school out as well as the sun, many of us found ourselves in a frenzy trying to have fun during that one week. Sophomores fulfilled their long time dreams and went to Disneyland with their “.Mommies and Dad- dies. They especially enjoyed Mickey and Donald, but their favorite part of their trip was seeing their idol, Michael Jackson, in Captain Eo. Those that were unable to per- suade their parents to take them sat home all summer whining and playing with their Cab- bage Patch Kids. Juniors spent their summers waiting to be asked out and cruising malls in search of their dream dates. Most of them never found them, of course, but at least they had something to do other than sit home and watch Days of our Lives or G.E Joe.

I could hardly believe it cost that much for just a folder, pencils, paper, pens, and a looseleaf. What a waste of money! Most of the students getting ready for school found the prices had doubled since last year. But isn't it worth it? The add and drop card system wasn't that easy to get used to for the sophomores. Some even got mixed up and dropped the same class twice, not to mention how many times they tried to sign up for senior English. For most juniors it was easy to get back into the swing of things. They were happy to quit their summer jobs as bag boys and babysitters. But come the second or third week of school and they were ready to go back to minimum wage. As for seniors ... Well, let's just say at least they came back. It was all routine for them now. The teachers got a real kick out of registration. By the end of the day, which was full of whimpering, sarcastic, pathetic, trendy, eye rolling, frustrated students, the faculty were having their doubts about making it through another year. A mass confusion of students filled the cafeteria. It was definitely a long day, filled with a lot of “adds and drops. “Now let me see. all I need to do is get 97 add and drop cards and I’ll be set.
