- 1- IIUHLH lllillmllldl I - Next to the first day of school, the biggest adjustment of the school year comes the Monday after the change to Central Standard Time from Daylight Savings Time. On that Monday, the alarm goes off. It's light outside in- stead of the usual dark. They jump out of the bed at 6:00, thinking ,it's 7:00. They run around rushing to put their clothes on, choking down their half-done breakfast, knowing that the bus is com- ing in fifteen min- utes. Finally they leave, running dovm the street dropping books on the way. But the bus stop is deserted. l'lobody's there. Then it hits them. They forgot to set their clock back. At first, it was nice to get an extra .-ft hour's sleep. But the final adjustment to a new time takes a week or so. Fresh- man Traci Case said, I felt better with the extra hour of sleep that I got fro m th e tim e change. For other students it's forget- ting to set the clock back, being late for everything, and get- ting adjusted takes even longer. Changing Time 17

IiU,'Zl7Fi ll IIIIHAI ' Al' I v . - luumjgi eturning to school was full of sur- prises. On the first day of school, students went to the book- store asking for lock- er cards. They were told they'd receive an assigned locker in - another surprise - homeroom. We used to be able to have a locker by our friends, but now we have lockers 18 Lockers by people we don't know, said senior Denise Stephens. Some students complained that their lockers were on one floor, while the majority of their classes were on an- other. l wanted to choose a locker near all of my classes, said junior Robbin Home. Assigned or cho- sen lockers, the stu- dents never changed the types of locker decorations that have always existed. Wishing friends Happy Birthday with locker decora- tions and surprises was a favorite way of decorating lockers. One way around the assigned locker policy was to share a locker with a friend. The major advan- tage, of course, was that students could keep their books and PHILOSOPHY POSTERS. Senior Heather Bond's lock- er expresses her personal philosophy.

Two sets of books took up twice as much room. Add to that two people in a hurry who just throw their stuff in and run meant a messy locker. Dionne Herron, who shares a locker with Tammy Smith said, lt's hard to keep a locker neat with two people using it.
