While standing at her locker. Jennifer Reitz and Pat Metzler discuss their plans for the weekend. A great combination, you and your Locker As tedious as some classes may seem, the place where we spend the most time during the school day is at our lockers. With the eight passing times plus five minutes at each end of the day, our locker time is easily the longest and most social period of the day. During these brief four minutes, some of our closest friends are made. But this isn't much of a surprise. You have to be somewhat friendly with the people around you to be willing to cram your way through a tightly packed mass of arms and legs to lean precariously over someone kneeling on the floor desparately pulling on a notebook buried beneath a foot of de- bris in the locker next to yours while attempting to recall those three magic numbers. On the other hand, as Evelyn Volza laments, Lockers this year are the worst, because they changed them around and I’m not near my friends. Which brings up the most impor- tant criteria for a good locker—its lo- cation. I wish my locker was closer to my classes. It's often difficult to get to my locker in time because they're spread all over the place,” complains Jean Brussel. And where will your locker be situated? Answers Amy McBride, Never where you want it.” Lockers tell a lot about a person— whether or not they are decorated or clean. Mine is a mess because other people throw their stuff in too,” says Penny Brotherton. Much can be told about a person by what he keeps with- in. Some people decorate their lock- ers and make sure the inside is neat. But others just leave them looking dull and throw their belongings inside like they were junk,” remarks Nicole Butera. To these latter types the most unusual surprises are given, such as Steve Russett, who found a petrified peanut butter and jelly sandwich dur- ing locker clean out last year. Oh, just in case you feel that putting up with the mob around your locker or the lock that never wants to open isn't worth the hassle, talk to Chris Fowler who still doesn't have one. 3
