Classes Take Shape After Chaos of First Few Weeks just as the summer-worn landscape assumed a fresh new facade when the cool autumn days approached, so life did at Sumter High. The adjustment period passed, with its confused, com- puterized schedules and lost students, and SHSers found' themselves com- pletely immersed in a flood of text- books. The void spaces began rapidly filling with facts and figures, and the creaky, old memory machine was oiled and rehauled for use in the year ahead.

'51 . V School's Daily Routines Replace 5ummer's Vagrant Freedoms On August 28, Sumter High swung open its doors to 2300. To the delight of some, and the dismay of many, the long, luxurious days of summer were over, and books and vacant classrooms beckoned like an old crooked finger to empty minds. It wasn't long however, before students grasped the idea that school had really begun - and reacted accordingly. The long-forgotten bumpy bus rides, the struggles for a parking place, the noisy lunch lines, the library passes, and the pop quizzes were all made familiar again and became incorporated into each students individual pattern of daily routines. C11 First period fire drills, few and far between, are always a welcome interruption. C25 Robert Meyers gulps down his midday meal with something new this year, chocolate milk. C33 With her pass in one hand, and student LD. in the other, Susan Moczydlowski makes library work proceed a little more smoothly for Bobbie lean Wells and Debra Smith. Student Life 'I3
