nn msiDE look Throughout the school year, the weeks progressed in endless mediocrity, melt- ing into a blur which, in decades to come, will fondly be remembered as the good old days . Each day, the span of time between the first and last bells could have been complete agony without a little reminder that there was life outside of Algebra. Many stu- dents discovered a place to regain their sanity amidst the bustling of an end- less school day. Upon opening the locker, pictures of rock and roll groups, sex symbols, comics, and ath- letes jumped out at and revitalized the weary student. Why did a girl plaster her locker from top to bottom with photos of gorgeous men or a guy spice up his locker with beer slogans and athletic pictures? Anything to add a little color to the lifeless metal in the basement or add some life to the grey wood on the sec- ond floor. Pin-ups were not the only adornment for a locker. Memo boards were used to write notes to friends or quickly jot down homework assignments between classes. The most memorable morning of the school year had to be the day when students dragged themselves to school with their key clutched between their fingers only to find a little round ob- ject obstructing the passage to the nec- essary supplies for the day. After a trip to the office and arriving late to first period, the problem of mastering the silver padlock was soon solved. From the very first day, students felt a need to make their locker into a work of art. And on the very last day when it was time to clean out the locker, students relived the fine memories that their oblong crate of the past year se- curely harbored for them. The great pastimes of students include skiing and cute guys. Suzanne Solomon also finds room to display advertisements for beverages. Photo by M. Bennett.
