Sophomores Piper Bunnell and Jennifer Vinson eat pizza and drink Coke at the New Addition, pre-foothall game party aimed to help new students make friends. 1 Its all behind you. It's the first day of school. No more sand, sun or surf. Parking problems, schedule cona flicts and locker confusion prevail. And what about all those serious, pressing matters.7 What if you donlt get the same lunch as your friends? What if they messed up your schedule and youlre signed up for Macrame Ill all day long? Back'tO'SChOOl, with all its hassles, marked the renewal of friendships and expectations of unknown things to come. UI am excited about starting my senior year, with all the rewards, and even the hard work, it will bring,,' junior Shannon Legg anv ticipated about the first day next year. Katie Sprugt another junior, agreed that returning next year as a senior elicited expectations about uruling the school. uGoing back to school in the fall as a senior is going to be more ex- citing than any other year.

Then there are those congenial souls who relish the idea of meeting all the incoming students. The first day of school has always been CXe citing for me, junior Kristi Wilson said, because I love seeing my friends and meeting all the new peOe ple, and making them feel welcome. In an afterthought, Kristi said, uIlll be very excited until my sentimental nature intervenes and I'll be sad to think that it will be my last lfirst' day of high schoolf' On the other side of the fence are those who are decidedly depressed by the idea of returning each September. ul could think of a number of four letter words to describe the first day of school, junior Dan Gillcrist said, unone of which are printable.H There are also those who really don't give it much thought. Hl couldn't care less sophomore Alex' ander Barr said, Hschool, holiday - it's all the same to me. A t Amara? '
