The first day of school, Aug. 16, signified for many the beginning of the end.
Back to school means back to the books. Senior Ryan
Coleman stashes hi s new books in hi s locker until later when For seniors, that sunny August Monday morning meant they would no longer have
he can take them home to cover them. (Alex Herr) another first day of school. "It was a day I didn't want to miss because I knew I would always
remember my last first day of school," said Senior Patti Domanski. Aug. 16 was also the
beginning of their last year in high school, where they would have senior superiority, and this
was the last time they would have to face coming back to school after an eventful summer.
Freshmen, on the other hand, had a totally different approach to that day. That
Monday afternoon marked the beginning of their high school career. High school had finally
arrived; they were no longer little kids. However, there was a slight pro b I em.
When they got to high school, they were little kids. High school was no longer a
dream but a reality. "It's bigger and better than middle school," said one
freshman. On that point sophomores, jun- iors and s e n i or s
tended to agree.
"Being a sophomore was cool be- cause you
could drive to school and around, but you couldn't park
in the lot," said Sophomore Erin Huffman. "Park- ing in the lot"
was the sophomore cause for eternity. A new group of sophomores
picked up the torch. Every year the sophomore com-
plaint was the same, "Why can't we park in the lot?
We go to school here too," or something •
• along those lines. Only this year, the
complaint was even bigger since sopho-
mores could no longer park in the lot
between Amoco and Quik Pik.
Juniors who carried the "park-
ing in the lot" torch last year were now
against having sophomores park in
the lot. "There wasn't even enough
parking for juniors and seniors. Why
should sophomores be able to park in
the lot?" said Junior Olivia Brown.
This new class of juniors began to pre-
pare themselves for college and surviv-
ing in the world. ACT, PSAT, and SAT
tests became a part of a junior' s curricu-
lum. "It seems like there are too many things
and not enough time to do them," said Junior
Feelhaver.
Although Aug 16 was a new beginning , students
• found themselves once again in the role of their prede- cessors. Fresh-
men were new and inexperienced, sophomores were the complainers about parking, and
juniors were upperclassmen at last looking forward to seniorhood. Seniors acted superior, and
looked forward toward college where they would be the freshmen all over again!e
