5 5 LOCKER STALKERS From books to day-old p.e. clothes, to shiny mirrors and big, small or life-sized photos, numerous and varied items were bound to be found in the lockers of MDN students. The most popular of these items were photos, ranging from big to small in size, and featuring friends, family, or rock artists, from the hard rocking Me- tallica to a soft-rocking Phil Collins. In addition to a storage place for books and a display for art-work, lockers be- came a meeting place, a place where stu- dents could hang out and wait for friends or maybe just hang out. Either way, the lockers were a significant place that stu- dents could call their own at least for a year.

Getting to School Getting to school. Everyone has to do it, but their methods of doing so greatly dif- fer with students' ages and grades. For example, the majority of freshman and sophomores either skateboarded, biked, walked, or hitched a ride from parents or friends who drove. As students entered the end of their sophomore or the start of their junior years, driving permits and licenses were acquired which meant a new or used car, depending upon generosity of one's par- ents or the students' ability to get a job. When the students finally did get a car, it opened a whole new world of freedom. Because of the variety of ages, distances from home to school, economic status and other variables, students approach- ing school were seen walking, biking, skateboarding, emerging from buses or trying to find a parking place. But no mat- ter how students arrived at school, most ended up running to their classes. Above: Healther Gentry and Amy Savillina walk home after a long day at school.
