The inevitability of registration day descended while family trips, days at Palo Duro Canyon, mid-week parties with friends, and hours of basking' in the warm Texas sun began to slip away. The vision of lazy days of August vanished with the start of two-a- days, marching band, cheerleading practice, volleyball workouts and the annual whirring of the custodians waxing the floors of Tascosa. Students found themselves driven to cram into those last few weeks everything they had intended to do at summer's start. .X It seemed as if there was a party or gathering every weekend to provide a comfortable place to see some .familiar faces and forgotten names. Relationships began to take root and mature and conversations eventually led to the impending school year. Visions of school, including class- room lectures, taking notes, reading too many textbooks and sweating through tests one never felt ade- quately prepared for, invaded the minds of students. The pressure of constantly being tested permeated the air. Tests involved a lot more than just what the report card revealed about one's study habits, though. Students found that there were tests of representation even stronger than those of the classroom. -Shannon Parr
