Big changes and even Bigger plans in store for little folk As Rusty McDonald was walking up the steps, a cluster of sev- enth graders watched him in awe. Hey, look! There's Rusty McDonald! Do you think he'd say 'Hi!' to us? You bet! We're gonna be the best! The thought of coming from sixth grade, where they were the big shots in the school, to going into the seventh grade and be- ing the little guys again, can be scary. Maybe we should say 'Hi!' first, one offered. Let’s do it! Hi, Rusty! They chor- used Hey, Rusty said. Do you think we'll ever be as great as all those seniors? One asked as they drew back into their huddle. Jerald Baker's biggest fear was what the older kids thought about us. The upper classmen don't think much of the seventh graders. The seventh grad- ers get pushed around, stuffed in lockers, and run over for no reason. Some- times they get picked on for just being seventh graders. There are certain big changes that occur when students move from grade school to junior high. You are more independent. You have to go to class by your- self instead of one big group, said Tina Siddons. Out of all the problems, the biggest one is lockers. Seventh graders have trou- ble remembering their combination and wind up being late for class because they can't get their locker open. Heather Harris was convinced that someone really had it in for her. My locker was the only one that got stuck. I had trouble with it for weeks.

Welcome to University of Arkansas course, Lockers 101. I am your professor, Dr. Lockemup. There are basically three types of lockers: (1) the neat locker (Lockerus boringus); (2) the messy locker (Lockerus commonus); (3) the shocker locker (Lockerus shock- erus). The neat locker is charac- terized by an orderly stack- ing of books on their ends from left to right, in the same order as the classes of the day, with very little loose paper or other dis- tractions. Neat lockers are owned mainly by boring people — the 'brains' are typical owners. These lock- ers are the safest.'' The messy lockers can be organized as efficiently as the neat locker, but it has lots of loose papers, pic- tures, or stickers decorat- ing the inside. Lockerus commonus is the most commonly found of the species, and crosses all cliques in the normal school. Although they can occasionally spill a paper or two, they are fairly safe beasts.'' This brings us to our final locker type: the shocker. The shocker lacks internal organization. Books are piled, with loose papers, stickers, pictures, mirrors, and notebooks inter- spersed among them. The shocker is typically owned by either an athlete, ban- die, or yearbook staffer — although anyone can own one. There are dangers associ- ated with shockers, espe- cially if the owner has a top locker. The haphazardly stuffed box dumps its con- tents ruthlessly on those below — usually someone about a foot taller and fifty pounds heavier. In our next session we will go on a field trip to a local high school, to see each type first-hand. The books you will need for my class are ... Is your locker a shocker 113
