The Frosting on the Cake Very embar- rassed, was Ju- nior Heather Reilly ' s response when asked how she felt. On her birthday, she had arrived at Mrs. Olson ' s first period English class clad in robe and slippers. A typical birthday kidnap- ping followed a traditional pat- tern. The celebration started at 6 a.m., when the kidnappee was yanked out of a warm bed by his or her friends. With unbrushed hair and teeth, dressed only in sleeping attire: pajamas, long underwear, sweats, etc., the birthday per- son was taken to breakfast. Af- ter stuffing themselves with coffeecake, hot chocolate and waffles, the celebrants arrived at school, releasing their victim with a happy birthday wish to the ridicule of first period class- mates.

Earlier that morning, Julie and Theresa had draped the area around Alicia ' s locker with crepe paper and balloons. pened frequently, prospective victims went to bed early the night before their birthdays, setting their alarms for 5 a.m. so they could fix their hair and get dressed before the festivi- ties began. I warned my friends that I would be sleep- ing in my clothes and told them not to bother kidnapping me, said Amy Van Galder. They T.P. ' d my locker and put up a Happy Birthday sign instead. Others, such as Junior Curt Schoelkopf, escaped the kid- napping routine and spent their birthdays rather quietly. They experienced uneventful days at school and celebrated with their families or special friends later that evening. My girlfriend took me to Ondine ' s, a restaurant in Sausalito, and paid for everything, said Curt. From early morning kidnap- pings to locker-decorating, birthdays turned average, mild-mannered school days into very special occasion s.

Should you roll out of bed and hit the books, or grab fif- teen heavenly minutes of sleep? Most likely you haven ' t tuned into that class since last Thursday and you are proba- bly doomed to fail anyway, so you might as well take a snooze . . . Although this situation may sound familiar, most students did find more efficient ways to study. I got all my studying done during my free seventh period, commented John Dearborn. Greg Ponomeroff agreed. I did a little home- work in my free period. That way, I could do whatever I wanted after school. Others found studying to music the best way to learn. I would lie on the floor and turn on my stereo, explained Les- lie Wood. It was hard to con- centrate if it was too quiet. Janet Burris contradicted her. The music distracted me if I was really trying to under- stand something, she said. A couple of people found unique modes of studying. Sarah Linke mentioned, When we swam laps during practice, there wasn ' t much to think about except for the things I ' d been learning in school. That was when I ' d see if I had certain things memor- ized. I would lie on my wa- terbed when I did my homework; said Georgia Ha- ber, I hardly ever got sea- sick! Hiring a tutor remained a popular way to better under- stand difficult subjects. I had Susan Daane help me with my pre-algebra, said Stephanie Latuka. She explained things clearly. It really helped. So what, you might ask. You still have to face that chemistry test. There ' s only one thing to do. Before your next big exam rolls around, take the advice of one of these people, and find some way to study that works for you! Green pastures. Warm weather encourages Terry Mattox to study on Sophomore Lawn during his free sixth period. When the sun was shining, people found the outdoors preferable to the more confining atmosphere of the library. Writer ' s cramp. Susan Daane begins her homework for Norma Alsterlind ' s third period American History class. Assignments in required courses such as American History were usually more numerous and time consuming than those in elective classes. Bookmobile. Buried in his book, Michael Hesse walks to school along Reliez Valley Road. Many students used every spare moment to catch up on their studies. 161 LOWER CLASS
