I know what you are thinking. You are saying to yourself nothing special is happening here. Well never question my journalistic intuition. The first thing which was decided was we will dig into all the students lifestyles and decide what we came up with. Now capturing 986 students and reporting what they do when they weren’t hitting the books was pretty hard. But after watching students and snapping pictures, when you weren’t watching, we felt that the activities we chose described Wilson pretty well. The first group of activities were the ones which weren’t school oriented. Some of those were telling where the students hung out and had fun, we told about the newest fashion rage that hit Wilson, and told who’s dating whom and what party they went to. We didn’t forget all the school activities like Prom, the J.V. Show, and Graduation.

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. Although there was a wider selection of ad- 7 TEL FE Mark Smiley and Mrs. Weekley review the many forms, which were given out the first day. 6 Back to School TARTIN OVER vanced placement courses and a tougher attendance policy, some things remained the same such as the ‘‘welcome back’’ assembly and the usual stack of forms including the yellow emergency card. As the week passed, the students fell into the groove of the regular school workday and fears of a new beginning sub- sided. Eighth graders were no longer overcome by the masses of people and discovered they had plenty of time between classes without being late. Everyone in the school, having adapted to the early hours of work, were prepared for a tough but rewarding school year. [Bill Nash] duct, are Troy Fitzgerald, J.W. Seay, and Rhonda Lewis.
