Regele A I-tome Away from ome Why is it that some people manage to contently spend large portions of their life at Central, both during and after school hours, while others daily count the minutes until the 3:17 bell? Perhaps it is because some students have found their own refuge within the building, a place where they can relax, shut themselves off from the school atmosphere, and just plain think. The school is full of places such ,as these, each offering a special haven for the harried student. Mark Nelson's second home is the Drama Club office. Whenever l'm in there, I can sit back and relax, he explains. It has an environment all its own, customized to the cIub's taste. The room contains, among other things, patchwork carpeting, a mirror ball, and a mooses's head. Another personalized room is Mrs. DoerfIer's office, which is popular with independent study students. Cathy Dupar says, I guess I like it because it's different and original, not just blank walls and tiling. Once you shut the door, it's almost like you're not even at school anymore. John Puchner claims, The Language Lab is one of the most relaxing places in school. It has a homey atmosphere: ll carpeting is the color that psychologi say is the most conducive to Iearnlj and the table and chair system help stimulate the mind.

I like spending study hall in the ceramics roo because it gives me a chance to re and enhance my creative ability, co ments Sue Skony. And of course, there is always tl small brown room in the middle of 1 math wing where, in the words of Sei Smullen, I am able to relax in an in Iectual atmosphere and work with rl individualists. U!
