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.

U' X33 Q XQQ9 ' A53 My ff- ef' i t- cceptance: Relieved: Packing: P al Happy b3 Angry c3 Aggravated - correct d3 Sad eason: A student felt relieved when notified of college cceptance, and aggravated when trying to decide 'hat to pack for college. Some found that they were certain of one or two ems they were going to bring while at the same time ncertain about what else was absolutely essential. For ollege-bound seniors relied on friends' and parents' uggestions and eventually their own intuition. Here 'ere some of the recommended objects: 13 Car Coptional3: Everready access to transporta- tion to sporting events, parties, library, and home. 23 Cash card, credit card, or checking account with a national bank: When the cash runs out, no need to worry. 33 Clothes suitable to climate of college: Unless body is resistant to climate changes, from the sun of California to the snow of Massachusetts, this was a must. Plus a person would look out of place wearing shorts during winter in Massachusetts. 43 Popcorn popper: Besides being able to munch on food whenever the desire overtakes the mind and body, the scent of freshly popped corn wafting in the air will bring people asking for some, an easy way to meet people. 53 Weight scale: Protection against what is common- ly known as the Freshmen lO - the ten pounds freshmen usually gain in their first semes- ter at college. Although some seniors decided not to bring all of these items, whatever they decided upon not only served the functional purpose of making life at college easier, but also the purpose of making the homesick- ness felt at college less severe. by Gloria Tae ,, ,, , i 1, ' -. ,, , '- 7!?5'4:r:L:ii 1, .--- --,,.L..-,,::tf,:2Q'5-2-..,,Yw A211112 utting it all together.
