Braving The Bus by Cindy Vanderbrug As the final bell of the school day sounds, students scurry fran- tically thorugh the maze of faces, hoping to run into a friend before they disappear out of the building. Others hurry to meetings, team practices or other school-related activities. Yet, there is still anoth- er group of students who make routine stops at their lockers and head out to the school bus for the trip home. How do these Seaholm students cope with this daily ritual of taking the bus? Many endure the journey by becoming engulfed in the streams of gossip that flow carelessly through the rear of the bus. All I did was sit down in front of two girls and I learned all about their weekend plans, revealed junior Patty Kowalski. While some find relaxation through conversation, others choose to ponder the day ' s intel- lectual high points by reflecting on their mental notes, or simply studying their algebra. The bus gives me the chance to restore my state of mind, confessed sopho- more Charlie Leto. Having ridden the bus for a year, freshman Matt Newton said he would never board the bus without his faithful walkman. 1 think the bus is sort of boring, but all 1 have to do is kick back and crank some tunes and it takes me home.

That ' s easy, remarked soph- omore Debbie Evangelista. Prison is in-school suspension. Regardless of some students ' dislike of in-school suspensions, they became the newest form of punishment designed to hopefully curtail students ' abuses of school policies. This disciplinary action was served in room E-109. During the day, students had at least two bathroom breaks and a short time to eat their lunches. I just forgot about a detention . . . stated Aimee Cote, after a long day in the suspension room. There were different punish- ments for each case of suspen- sion. If the violations were consid- ered severe, more days were added. 1 think in-school suspension was a good deterrment, because who wants to sit in a room all day and do nothing? stated Mike Rafferty. Despite its controversy among students, the in-school suspension gave offenders plenty of time to ponder the reasons for being sentenced to their place of confinement.
