T?7 W ive short minutes Fitting everything in Who would think that five minutes was enough time to go to their locker, talk to friends, and still get to the next class without being tardy? Most students agreed that the five minutes provided was not long enough. There should be at least eight minutes, senior Bill Hair said. However, during the 10-minute break between first and second period students did relax a bit. I enjoy it. I relax as much as I can, junior Brad Batson said. Although break proved to be a relaxing time, the five minutes between each class were more hectic. Students rushed to their lockers, used the telephone to call home, or even dashed by the 22 X Student Life - Between Classes cafeteria for a quick snack. Also, students studied for a next period test or finished homework. There was no time to relax! sophomore james Haworth said. The halls were packed with hur- ried students getting to class on time. Some collided while others became masters at avoiding crashes and scurrying through the crowds. Even though it was rough with only five minutes, the students survived. It was not that bad once you got used to it, sophomore Suzanne Horak said. lSeeberger1 Once he has opened his locker, sophomore Sam Benigo decides what he needs to take to his math class. lBryan1 ,,, WV' ..,.,: , . ,dw

trength in numbers Togetherness provides security Roaming around the halls, peo- ple could see several clusters of students arranged in circles. Each individual group was made up of friends who shared similar in- terests and beliefs. These groups could be found in many different places. Students banded together at pep rallies and football games. At the pep rallies, classes were divided into separate sections, with the seniors occupying the prime spot in the boys' gym. Because each section tried to out-cheer the other, the gym rang with their cries of en- couragment for the home team. As the gates opened at football games, friends rushed to the bleachers in attempts to claim that area for their own. When they were not in the bleachers, friends met around the snack bar, bathroom, and telephone. just as football games provided a place to meet, clubs gave students a reason to meet. Students found new friends because of similar in- terests. The language clubs went to restaurants so they could eat with their friends. This was a way to be among fellow students away from school. The clubs all gave feelings of family to the members. Being in a club, I feel like I'm more a part of things, junior Kathy Sohl said. Most students would agree that the best part of going to school was seeing their friends. If it weren't for school, I wouldn't be able to be with my friends, sophomore Mike Struttmann said. Between classes, one could see friends gathered in the halls, discussing their weekend plans or their fifth period test. Before school and during break, students could be found grabbing a quick Coke while explaining their 1 ' I , fn: J ,, Q 25 1 ,1 I Vg I . g , yi 5 -FQ A ij ' 3, rf, g sa t 'sir problems with their current boyfriend or girlfriend. Students made many new friends or became closer friends this way. It makes you feel good talking to peo- ple and getting to know them bet- ter, sophomore Kathy Keller said. Although being with friends made some people comfortable, they sometimes liked being alone. After being around people all day, you need some time to yourself, said junior Kristin Schatz. This time was usually spent by catching up on homework or just relaxing. But no one likes to be alone for long. Most students preferred get- ting together on the weekends to go to the big party or the latest movie. Doing things together gave everyone a place to belong. IMacMorranj juniors Laura Chase, Tricia Keefe, and Rachel Hurst discuss their plans for Homecoming at the pep rally. lPellerinj Crowds-Student Life f 21
