Action In The Halls The Motion Never Dies Out Suddenly, the talking, gossiping, and exchanging of jokes ceased, and shuffling feet were heard throughout the hallways. We hurried to our awaiting classes, as the final seconds were counted down. Five minutes seemed to be enough time between classes to have a lot of action take place in the halls. Popular sayings between classmates as they went rush- ing to their classes were iiwrite me a note? itmeet me at my locker? or iicall me tonight. Have you ever heard your name whispered by a group of friends as you passed by them in the hall? Gossip was a popular topic of conversation between classes. Lockers were also a part of the hallway scene. Personali- ties were shown by the way the insides of the lockers were decorated. Why did students decorate their lockers? Freshman, Lori Hennessey quoted, uTo give it pizazz and to show personality. Along with gossip, practical jokes were often planned and many of them were actually carried out. A slip of the foot and you were on your way down with your books close behind. Students were always on the go in the halls, whether it was between classes, during classes, or after school. Sometimes the five minutes between classes were a big hassel but most of the time it was used for friendly dis- cussions or just goofing around with close friends. Wait! Freshman Marcus Manz, motions to his friends, as they laugh at Mr. Gray's colorful hall pass. Hurry up . . .

Popular After School Action Flips, jumps and handstands held spectators in awe as t they watched their friends perform daring tricks on skate- i boards. Racing, jumping, or just cruising on three and four wheelers was also an important after school activity. Some people, such as freshman Corey Dolinar, raced ATCs in competition. Others road them just for pleasure. I really like to take my four wheeler out after a lot of rain and blast through the mud, stated Guy Cooper, a ninth grader. Billy Daniels said, ttl love racing my four wheeler in winter on the ice because you slide around. Between these two sports, there was plenty of fun and fast paced action. Whether your wheels were spinning on the sidewalk, or crashing through the mud, they kept the memories mov- mg. Go for it! Freshman, Corey Dolinar, spends his spare time racing three wheelers at Milan Race Track. 11
