5 Hillary Orcutt Blanm Pelayo -J , N t was bummin'! was Eric Schmidt's reac- tion when he realized that he too would join 30 to 40 students for lunch in room 134 f 1' A f i with Mr. Snickles. An apathy for attending classes, too many detours between periods, misbehav- ior in the classrooms, or the adventure of leaving cam- pus without a lunch permit gave students the chance to taste the bittersweet boredom of dreaded detention. Llpon reporting at 12:27, the students serving time utilized the period by studying, reading, or completing unfinished homework. Even though students were sup- posed to do something productive, some claimed to catch up on sleep, the latest gossip, or overdue letters to friends. Diana Avalos, a senior, smiled sheepishly and alleged that she just sat there and talked. Detention was established as a penalty for disobey- ing school rules, but students were able to reduce their sentence in varying ways. lf they diligently attended detention for two consecutive days, the third day was dropped. Or, it was worked off with voluntary service to the school. Lief Boone said he worked it lDetentionl off at cross country and track meets. On the other hand, misbehavior in detention led to 3 additional time spent with Mr. Snickles. Failure to at- tend detention resulted in additional detention, Satur- day Alternate to Suspension, or early morning ATS. Stacy Fasano smirked and commented that When l didn't go l just got more. lf ATS was not completed, suspension was assigned. After returning to school those skipped days of detention still had to be made up. Detention was looked upon with distaste, but in some cases it proved beneficial. After 28 days in deten- tion, Peter Trist, a senior, confessed, Nl learned not to forge notes for a truancyf' Mrs. Rothschild, Dean of Students, commented that she had seen a marked improvement in a few stu- dents. Adding later that not many students return year after year for extended periods of time. Although most students dreaded detention, some like Nick Cowaiter, a freshman, found it addicting. He decided, Although it keeps me from going out with my friends, it's pretty fun, so I think l want to get it again. by Heather McCormick .mini l Full House.
