-A ,W , l A f- -f 'VV Y -XY fvU,hY,----- , A DAY IN THE November BY CARRIE BARTLETT My alarm rang so loud at 5:30 p.m. that it practically blasted me out of bed. As I staggered into the shower I got that old familiar feeling--I was heading back to school again. You have to understand me when I say again. You see, I was at school yesterday all day, just like a normal person. It wasn't until after school that the crazy stuff started. I don't think I'll ever forget the haunting words I heard at 12:04 a. m.. While working on the computer at our Pioneer deadline, JeffMeesey Iseniorj yelled from across the room, Happy day in the month of Carrie! My mouth simply dropped in awe. I had completely forgotten that I was to cover the day. Well, the first four minutes of my day were great. The staff was still lively and only slightly slap- happy. As I glanced around the room I noticed what a horrendous mess we had made. Every table top was completely covered with books, clothes, cups, and attempts at finalizing pages. Trashcans overflowed, and various secret pal presents were strewn about the floor. Along one side distinct pleasure in hollering Change the magic number! at the top of their lungs, meaning another set of pages had come in Suddenly I looked at the clock, and much to my surprise it was 3:30 a.m.. We then voted to stay for three more hours. It was weird stepping out of the North building at 6:30 a.m., just in time to see the sunrise. As you may have guessed I slept for most of Nov. 13, but I did talk to a lot of people about their day It was Friday, but there was no school because of parent! teacher conferences the previous night. For a lot of people it wasn't a day away from school. Student Council ISCJ members worked on their Turkey Day hall for three hours. Eric lsophomorel and Mark Vogl Iseniorl, who had been the deadline, fell asleep while decorating for SC. They woke up to laughter because Tim Vogl fsophomorel had painted big crosses on their faces. Some seniors used their day off to visit college campuses. Tricia Malkemus lseniorj flew to Texas to visit Texas Christian University and Baylor. It was fun to go to Texas. I did a lot of comparing between the schools, but I still don't know where I'm going, she said. I was envious of her as I headed back to school to finish the last couple of spreads. I felt like I had of the room, staff members frantically worked on the Computers. Wing to CONQUCV the Pflgemakef Software staj' has to be crazy. but that night as I drifted off to never left.
