’Gosh, only two more weeks to sleep ’til 10:00 A. MS’ ”The days by the pool will soon be gone.’’ ' Tvc just got to get some new clothes!” Who do you think we ll get for English? to the top we re on our way ...” I just can ' t get that cheer off my mind. I mean I ve only practiced it about twenty times today! Really, I enjoy practices but it seems like there is so much to learn before school starts. It s only two weeks away. But I can t wait to get back because this year I ' m finally on top. Yes, finally I can walk into that auditorium and have everyone stand up and look at me. Ah, going back. The freshmen will be a trip. ’Hey, which way to room 305? Well, first you have to get on the third floor! And the sophomores, having had the experience of a year of high school life, will think they know everything. In Latin, sopho¬ more means wise fool. guess you can see why. Oh yeah, you Juniors, I know getting your class rings is exciting but do try to put some thought in the prom. No disc jockey, please. It ' s really gonna be great to be back. And it’s funny. This year, more than ever, school seems like a second home. Up at Dawn As the familiar ring of the alarm clock sounded, I turned over and moaned. Gee, it’s already 7:00 A.M.? Can’t I just pretend it’s still summer vacation and not the first day of school? But miracles don’t always happen and yes, it definitely the first day. It’s really so obvious. Everyone is scurrying around to see what homeroom they’re in and where their friends are. The freshmen look so young and lost. Super school-spirited sophomores are already making plans for their class float. The main concern of the juniors is when do we get out rings? And us seniors, well we re proud to be here. Especially when Mrs. Bailey tells the other students that they should rise when we march in because we have earned their respect. But before we can get too haughty, the Advanced Studies Center students are asked to leave the air-conditioned auditorium to face the sweltering heat and the bumpy bus ride to JFK. In boarding the bus, everyone seems anxious. I bet I ' ll get lost the first day there. How hard do you think classes will be. I wonder if we’ll know anybody there? Meanwhile, back at the household, fellow classmates managed through the morning. Up and down the steps students made their way in order to get to classes in the allotted four minutes. However, some found themselves lost or waiting in lines to change schedules at the guidance office. The traditional task of filling out emergency and information cards continued to be the call of the day. What lunch shift do you eat on? Oh no, I forgot my book money! You wouldn’t believe who I have for third period. To the rescue. Sherry Ruden teaches lifesaving techniques. 2 INTRODUCTION
