Something’s B irdwells, skateboards, hot paper¬ backs. Notebooks, new text books, lock combinations. A difTerent kind of summer, new faces, and some changes in school policy proved that each time one started school was just like the first time. It took a little effort to put one’s self back into the swing of things after the short, but carefree va¬ cation. Hot summer days were filled with much activity as students enthu¬ siastically enjoyed their “three months of freedom.” Some got their old sum¬ mer jobs back, and hoped to pick up a few extra dollars. A few lucky ones traveled to England, Switzerland, and Hawaii, while the rest headed for the glaring sands and refreshing waves of Nags Head, Sandbridge, or Virginia Beach. Lazy weekends were spent cruising around town in the family car, playing a neighboring game of sohball, or doing whatever came natural. But then came September and back to school again ... Seniors were really looking forward to the start of school because, finally, they would be the ones looked up to. Of course, many looked forward to graduation. Glen Bell put that “senioritis” feeling into words: “I’m glad school started ’cause I can’t wait to get out. Forever!” Underclass¬ man, like Robin Moore, looked forward to seeing old friends: “On August 27 you saw all the kids you hadn’t seen since June 7 and you told them about the great summer you had—the same stories your other friends were sick of hearing.” No matter how gloomy another school year sounded, almost everyone looked forward to something. John Stevens exclaimed, “Just starting again, seeing friends, getting older, being able to do more things—that’s what starting another year is all about.” 4 INTRODUCTION

Look Inside I wcnty-one steps reflected sha- dows of students streaming to start another day. Friends smiled and everyone thought what a great day it was. Locks opened on the first try and the history test was surprisingly easy. The day moved quickly and echoed enjoyment. Some days were like that; others were far from it. In any case, school offered the chance to experience new things and to be crea¬ tive. Some students finally learned to rhyme a sonnet, discovered a hidden talent in art, or matured from partici¬ pating in the Student Government or a club like Future Homemakers of America. Although the new term brought many changes, everyone learned to ad¬ just to different methods and ideas. The Assistant Principle of Instruction was Mrs. Lynn Eberwine. who diligent¬ ly worked with much enthusiasm throughout her first year in the admini¬ stration. New teachers added to the change and brought with them many different ideas and teaching methods. Picnic tables beside the school perked up the campus, offering students an al¬ ternative to the cafeteria. A structural change of school regulations was re¬ flected in the initiation of in-school suspension. Complaints and approving remarks came from the students, yet the challenge was met to cope with the changes. On the good days, something per¬ suaded everyone to look on the bright side. And when they did, school didn’t seem so bad. A sunnv day renders a shining Suffolk High School Hooking a rug is a fun art assign¬ ment for Susan Dillard.
