Why Cn Tuesday? An unusual thing happened on the day after Labor Day. lt was the first day of school, on a Tuesday. Tues- day? Why not Thursday like normal first days of school? Students, still tired from only 10 hours of sleep, lumbered into their morning announcement locations. Most of the people looked familiar, more tanned perhaps, but still the good old friends. Suddenly the fatigue disappeared, and everyone started chattering. They were full of stories to tell, Bob Mckelvey of his trip to Ger- many, David Nalesnik of his summer in Music Camp, or Phil Senturia of his visit to Israel. Some were comparing their schedules to see if they got Mr. Potter for Biology or Mr. Hinrichs, others were trying to find out who the new teachers were. Everyone was try- ing to say everything in less than fif- During a free period, Junior John Pruellage took a short nap in the library to recover from the first day's tiring classes. teen minutes. The rooms that were quiet a few hours before were filled with voices and laughter. It was the post-vacation high. After calming down, they began to notice the new chapel and the music being played on the organ as they en- tered. As usual, the first period class was an assembly in which Dr. Johnson told everyone about the seven new teachers. Everyone gave them a warm welcome as they each stood up when introduced. Dr. Johnson explained the privi- leges of being able to attend an institu- tion so well respected for its academic, athletic and extracurricular achieve- ments, but many students were think- ing of their own privileges: Seniors could leave campus and could eat out, juniors could drive to school, class sixers could spend their first week at camp. After Dr. Johnson's address, the new student council president, Willie Epps, explained his plans for the up- coming year. These included more events with Mary Institute, such as pic- nics and other social events, more charity drives, and other commit- ments. He and the student council were ready to make the school year a fun and learning year. As the students piled out of the Chapel, they were ready to face a new year, well at least until the end of the day. Books in hand, they went to the last ten minutes of first period class. 'Tm sorta glad we're back, com- mented a student as he and his friends filed out of the Chapel. by Arthur Weise, '89
