S The first day of the school year was a new experience for the eighth graders, it was also a ‘fresh’? experience for the whole school. The new state law went into effect, opening school after Labor Day, allowing students to have an extra few days of summer which every- one loved!! As the summer dwindled away, and September 2 rolled into view, the students came to school, renewed old friend- ships, and exchanged compli- ments over their clothes. In addition to the old classes, there was also an advanced place- ment chemistry class for twelve students, which started at 8:30 in the morning.
