Mrs. Tester from Chester Middle is here for first peri- od only. Mrs. Barr has been teaching five years. As Mr. Rosendale ex- plains a technique to his class, he practices it himself.

Some may be from other parts of the Unit- ed States, others may be from other parts of the Word. This year we have three foreign ex- change students, one from Spain, Germany, and Holland. Freshmen, this being their first year, walk into Thomas Dale with maps in their hands and a look of panic spread across their faces. Will they make it through their first day? Sophomores, glad they are no longer the new- comers to the school, have only three more years here. This year is a big one for them, they will take Driver’s Edu- cation and hope- 8 Welcome Back fully attain their li- censes. Juniors with two years behind them and two to go, are halfway through. Class rings are a big mo- ment in a junior’s lifetime. Many Ju- niors also decide to take the SAT’s (Scholastic Apti- tude Test). And for Seniors, “We made it! ’’ are the thoughts of Diane Griz- zard and Frances Hayer. Graduation is not that far away. This is your year. Make the most of it. Seniors slaved through research papers, studying for those dreaded SAT’s and desper- ately searching for ‘‘the’’ college to attend. But, alas, the big year has finally be- come the big day. With homework on the first day, Valerie York spends time in the li- brary.
