Lines Help Move Students Through Year Students formed many lines this '85-'86 school year. They swayed as seniors sang the alma mater and the drill team per- formed. And lines of students clasped hands in silence as they joined in mourning America's Space Shuttle Challenger crew. Pep rallies provided laugh lines on Fridays. Teachers performed skits while the chorus and band provided the music. Freshmen lined up on the front row of their new classes on the first day of school. Their upper- class peers were content to take a back row seat. At the front office, students lined up along the stairs as the flu bug took heavy tolls each day. Frequent bomb threats forced students to line the campus for sometimes an hour or more. Although computers have tak- en over much of the load of reg- istration each quarter, lines still formed in the gym as students searched for electives. Before school started players, managers, cheerleaders, and coaches took their place in line as photographers recorded Pic- ture Day at Cleveland Field. Clubs and organizations filled the school calendar with a line- up of dances, car washes, and bake sales. Poinsettias lined the front office in a colorful seasonal display before the Key Club de- livered them to area nursing homes. Signs announcing such events as homecoming, wrestling matches, yearbook sales, the talent show, and sweetheart dance lined the hallway each week as students moved through the year.
