--: II. 1.1- u -. First And Last U Eenie. meenie, minie. moe. Mr. Lightfoot and Coach Carden go over the new schedule for the 1987-88 school year. Is There Ever A Fine Medium? Ask a stu- dent what the norm is for a day of school, then ask them for a day that i s n ' t t h e norm and you are sure to get one'of two answers. Either the first or last day of school always catches the eyes of the student. These days are hectic and excit- ing. not the average day of school. Fresh. Devon Bengtson said, 'The first day of school was 'an exper- ience'! It was my first day of high school. The first day of school is one that is often anticipated but not often admitted to.

Sr. Mike Morgner said, I bet I am the only person in school that keeps balloons and bubbles in their locker. By the end of summer ev- eryone is ready for school to start. By the end of the school year everyone is ready for summer. It is a vi- cious circle. Yes, there is a medium, although it is not what one would call fine. These are the days that fall between the first and last days of school. These days are the norm. Or are they? a School Days 17 j
