2 uZoc£ei Ztfc Many changes occurred in the 1987-88 year, but the one that had everyone talking was the new rule that students could not sit on the floor in front of their lockers any- more. Senior Tracey Boldridge stated, I feel that it’s a stupid rule, because it was nice to be able to relax, and you can’t do that in a chair.” The rule itself was not hard to enforce, but many of the students disliked it. The rule does not solve anything anyway because the people just stand there instead of sitting,” stated senior Vicky Fitzpatrick. Seniors were not the only students with a view on the new locker policy. Kerry Rice, junior, said I hate it be- cause the people are in my way more standing up than they were sitting down.” Some of the sophomores agreed. Stacey Andre said, It’s stupid because sometimes you’re tired and you need to sit down, and you have been sitting in those chairs all day.” But many of the students view the rule in the same way as senior Janell Bey, ”1 think it is a good idea because before a great deal of problems were created because of people lying around on the floors and sitting in front of others’ lockers. A person was lucky if he didn’t have to jump over two or three bodies just to get to his locker, and after Finally reaching his locker he was lucky if someone wasn’t sitting in front of it, usually causing him to be late for class. It was also a good idea because someone could get hurt in the process. Upper left-Seniors Chipp Boldridge and Paul Kane wait patiently for their turn at their lockers.
