ACADEMICS I though Mrs. Ken- ealy meant next Tues- day was when the sci- ence projects were due! , 'T was sick the day she assigned them! , and I got my facts mixed up! , are all the excuses every- one used when sud- denly, two days before the projects wee due, the students realized they hadn't even start- ed their science pro- jects for the science fair. Staying up until midnight pasting to- gether atoms, and writing the paper on their topics at 3 o'clock, was what people ended up do- ing the night before the projects were due. ”1 dissected my frog for the science fair the night before it was due. It was really fun because I did it right after eating my din- ner. , said Sophomore Melanie Perales. Not only in Science was procrastination a problem though. When the Juniors and Seniors had to turn in a re- search paper in English, there were quite a few who waited till the last minute. If there was ever a place that putting off was prevalent it was at school. For years kids have waited until the last minute on assignments. But that's just one of the facts of life in school.

The first assembly brings many eager and amazed students such as Seniors Jeffrey Brummett and Brad Connelly. Everyone comes back from the blistering summer months to begin the routine of school once again Freshman Randy Pollen looks with uncer- tainty and asks. Where do I go next?” Finding the right place at the right time is often a hard task to accomplish in the beginning Senior Rodney Alexander starts the year off with a bang — and a good laugh. It is often easy to find him with a smile on his face, especially in Mrs. Kenealy's Chemis- try class. Once again, the hall clutters with students carrying new books and searching for new lockers. The Beginning” always brings excitement — olong with just a little bit of confusion. BEGINNING 3

Sophomore Mark Phelan makes the final touches on Ns science project. The sci- ence projects were dis- played at Open House in the gymnasium. Catching a few winks is all Senior Charlotte Turner Igwe is concerned about as she “rests her eyes in her Gov- ernment class WE'RE ALL IN IT TOGETHER IT'S CHILD'S PLAY The thought of re- cess excites the soul in almost every elemen- tary student. Without playground equipment though, it can be a lit- tle boring. The Trenton kids were faced with this dilemma at the be- ginning of the year, be- cause to build the new high school, they had to tear down their playground. The par- ents of the children de- cided they would help out the administration by forming a PTO to raise the money for the equipment. The PTO sponsored pizza and chili suppers, dances, cake sales, and even a World Class Wrestling night to raise money. I could have died when Vince Apollo (the wrestler) picked me and Jennifer (Trusty) out of the crowd and hugged us! , ex- claimed eighth grader Kristi Moore about the wrestling night. Every- one enjoyed the fund- raisers of the PTO and the elementary has en- joyed their new equip- ment. ACADEMICS DIVISION 5
