 We're rushed . . . to make up for lost time. There seems to be less and less time for any kind of a social life. Some teachers seem to think if you go one hour in their class you should have an equal hour at home. Multiply that by six and you're up all night. Liz Rutherford Going through the motions seems to be the popular thing at Sunset. Class after class, day after day, counting the days until vacation! This year, we've calmed down on the stereotyping pastime. We're finally accepting jocks. heads, and sosh's as people doing their own thing. Last year anyone who dared do what they pleased was really putting themselves in deep water. Sunset has finally mellowed out in my opinion. We're starting to realize it's not a big party but something we all have to go through. We might as well make the best of it and try to get along as long as we're here. Nanci Olson School as a whole hasn't really changed radically in the people who make it up. It's only where a person is— sophomore, junior or senior which is of importance. School spirit for me, though, has dwindled to an all time low, because of its relative unimportance in the years ahead! We're rushed, as if in a last minute barrage to make up for lost time. The real world, outside, takes on a new look. When you hear about it. you know that in a few months YOU WILL be on the outside. Most people look forward to the traditional challenge of life,” and all the worthless competing it entails. I guess it could be challenging to a field mouse. At any rate, the only real change in this school year besides a different schedule, routine, and a few different friends, is that I'm closer to the edge. John Logan 5

. . people just don't stay after school anymore. As soon as 2:30 p.m. rolls around the halls give no indication the human beings had ever existed there. People just don't stay after school anymore. Melanie Closs I mean, there was apathy back at junior high, but the apathy here was incredible. Walk down a hall and do you hear the footsteps of happy, eager students? Nope, You hear shuffle, scrape, shuffle, scrape. Gerry Mohr Freedom seems to be the big difference. Last year you needed hall passes, library passes, and when you were caught in the halls during a period you were considered a skipper until proven otherwise. All in all, I guess I like Sunset better because of the freedom and variety of school events. Greg Mull People are about the same, soshes. jocks, etc. The seniors and juniors don't act stuck up toward the sophomores like I expected. To me school is fairly boring. Mostly school is just about the same. It is not really what I expected. Gordon Brown
