With only six minutes between classes, you found time to run to your locker, meet your best friend or share a moment with that special someone. The halls were decorated during special occasions. For instance, during Homecoming Hallways Week, the 200 South building was selected as best decorated hall for its colorful streamers, bright lights, and confetti. Then the week before Christmas break, all the fourth period classes took time out to participate in the school- wide door decorating contest. On December 17, Ms. Barbara SurIoff's Theatre 1-2 classroom door was chosen as most decorative because of its blinking lights, musical bell, and imaginative paper presents that hung from the door. On a typical day of school you'd find sophomore Donnie Tellefsen playing hackysack with his friend Joe Berardi, sophomore, in the 200 North hall or hear Gary Foster, junior, talk about girls as he goes to lunch with his friends. And if you're really observant, you might just have the opportunity to watch senior Chris Gaddis struggle to open up her top locker in the 200 North hall. t'Oh I always get my locker open and if I don't , Chris smiled, 'fl just go get Tim Hawkins, senior, to help me!
