X J? 3 . Students Return To Schoolg Year Starts On Hectic Note Hello Week After a 90-day vacation of freedom and sunshine, most students found it hard to return to the authority and established ways of high school. But with little or no choice, most accepted the confinement of walls and rules with the knowledge that these are the last few years of mandatory education. The coming of September brought rain and confusion and readied students for the 190 days of the 1972-73 school year. Despite conditions of construction in the hallways and flooded counseling centers, a luckyfew pulled through without sched- uling trouble, However, the majority of -'43-'51 . t 'Yea . Q- students were not as fortunate. lVlinds were changed, and so then were the sched- ules, making long lines and mountains of paper work for the counseling centers. Tigard gridder's first loss at Sam Bar- low reflected the general picture of a hectic September New faces in the school soon became familiar as they were quickly adopted by the Tigard high veterans. The 445 incoming sophomores were also made to feel at home in their new environment by the upperclassmen who were very helpful in establishing a feeling of unity at Tigard. . X 1 t . linen . i6
