,, .. :zz ' Ever wondered why there are only 24 hours in a day? Gr why lockers aren't made a few in- ches wider? Whether it be time to catch a favorite television pro- gram or squeezing an extra book into a locker, many students seem to have a problem fitting it all in. For examtple, working students o ten have a difficult time getting all of their homework completed before the start of class. During any lunch or before any tar- dy bell, students can be found frantically rushing to finish up their assignments in order to avoid a zero daily rade. Making those dread- ful trips to the library to do research for a term Eaper is another pro- lem fitting into their busy schedules. Bet- ween extra-curricular activities, homework and part-time jobs, term papers may end up be- ing avoided because there is so little time.

Educationally related work outs include day to day homework such as math -and English. But they are most prominently seen midway through and at the end of the school year. For term papers, students occasionally give up their weekends to complete andfor cram for their exams. The most frequent way of working unplea- sant things out is the always full Detention Hall. As the end of the grading period draws near the detention halls steadily become more crowded as students try to clear their records so that they can leave on the last day of school not to return for three months for in the case of seniors - never to returnj and to begin the only thing that makes school seem worth- lace to ark.
