The Halls Jim VanDuser and Chris Baney are happy to be on their way home after a long day. there’s the couple plastered onto your locker, making out. When you say ex- cuse me, they are so involved with oth- er things, you go onto class trying to figure out what excuse you’ll use this time for not having your homework. Another good time is when you find yourself face to face with someone go- ing in the opposite direction. You each try moving to either side, but it doesn’t work. You finally find yourself being pushed to one side and your books an- other. I’m sure I’m forgetting all kinds of things that happen in the hall. But these are the common incidents that occur in the hall. At his locker, Mike Houck finds a pleasent suprise, the camera. Student Life 23

L Hanging Out in . In the morning, the worst place to find yourself when the homeroon bell rings is the hallways. It seems that ev- eryone waits until the last minute to get to homeroom, and you are no ex- ception. Usually your homeroom’s on the third floor and you are downstairs trying to get up. You find yourself be- hind a real slow poke, and no matter how much you step on his heels, he never goes any faster. By the time you’re almost to the room, the final bell rings and you start praying you have a sub that doesn’t know what the heck s going on. If this happens to you, you’re not alone. The worst problem Baker has got, besides smelly lockerrooms, is the hall- ways. Unless there is an epidemic, or Senior Skip Day the halls are usually very crowded. Maybe someday they could possibly widen the halls. Crowdedness in the halls does not a!- ways happen just because of the overpopulation, sometimes it happens .Im'.b'Lnf,dav’ ,hese Juniors walk because a group of friends decided to when you knock stop and talk in front of some stairs knock back anH , aside’ H and you’re trying to get from room the floor The ! u“ fmd yours«'f «1 206 to your locker then back to a cake is the CftP’?ble“ that kes fl study hall.

The Versitile Room W. Our Cafeteria hen you step into the cafe- teria during the first three periods you might find yourself checking to see if you’re in the right room. In- stead of seeing a room quietly wait- ing for lunch to begin, you see (and hear) the loudest site of, you guessed it, a study hall! It’s quite interesting to walk through the cafeteria during a so- called study hall. So-called because out of every fifty kids, four are studying. And those four are study- ing only because they spent their first study hall talking and they have a test the next period. The things the other forty-six kids are doing is also quite interesting. Ten kids are sitting at a table trying to hide their card game from the teacher. They’re ones who have no books, aren t talking, but are staring at each other and are sitting on their hands. Personally 1 think the teacher must be dumb not to realize what they are doing.
