LUhot strange things lurk InSIde lo ckers The Charleston High School lockers - those tiny, drab green, dented tin boxes - served as a ticloset away from home for many students' books, clothes, old lunches, tennis shoes, and dirty socks this school year. While many students kept their lockers spotless and clean, many more students opted to go for the cluttered look by tossing books and gym clothes into them. But some students tried for an even messier look which entailed having books fall out onto their heads as soon as their locker was opened! Decorations for lockers came in many different forms this year. A popular choice for males and females was taping posters to the inside of the locker door. Several posters became conversa- tion pieces as throngs of students Student Life 20 gathered around the open locker door to gape at the posters of famous actors, actresses, athletes, and models. Junior Debbie Brannon insis- ted that her pictures of Sylvester Stallone and Arnold Schwartzene- ger should top the list of possible locker door candidates. However, junior Tony Watts disagreed. tiChristy Brinkley makes for a much better locker partner, he said. With their dented shelves, bro- ken hooks, unworkable combina- tions, and graffiti-covered walls, the CH8 lockers, whether occu- pied by one person or twenty, remained the one place at CHS where students could easily ex- press themselves and their per- sonalities. MOHAMMED MESLEH AND Sasan Maymendi laugh over a joke as they gather their books for their next class.

I During fourth period at Charleston High School a thun- derous growl could be heard throughout the building as the students and their stomachs anx- iously awaited the ringing of the lunch bell at 11:45. When that glorious sound was heard, stu- dents rushed down the hallways, threw their books into their lock- ers, and ran off to a multitude of places including the cafeteria, Tudor's, Ginois, and Burger King. As students have discovered, lunch time was not just a time for eating. Some students could be found in the library studying for an upcoming test, while others x, A RELAXED NICKY Miller finishes her drink shortly before the end of the lunch period. TIME OUT Fon LUNCH may have been attending an important meeting for a club or organization. Most did not like to give up their lunch time but sometimes felt it was necessary. For most CHS students, lunch was a time to enjoy their freedom. They were found Itpigging out on pizza or Whoppers. Some students pre- ferred to bring their lunch to school and sit by their lockers on the floor. There they could finish homework or watch a favorite guy or girl pass by. Lunch time was for being with friends and enjoying a half hour of freedom in the middle of a busy day.
