Along with the good came the bad o no, there went by books, they just fell on the floor. this is the kind of catastrophe a person can ' t ignore. there goes that door again: it always slams on things. and i have to get to my locker before the first bell rings. what a way to start the morning i just broke my pencil lead. the way this day is heading, i should have stayed in bed. already it is lunchtime — school lunches for us all, and now we all are heading for the lines in heartburn hall. i forgot about the exam that we ' re having in business ed. so i am really cramming for it while wishing i were dead. the last bell has finally rung through the bustle and the fuss. by the time i reached the front door, i ' ll be told i missed the bus. so when another day had ended and when i kneel to pray, i will pray tomorrow ' s sunrise begins a better day. — Gemma Lindsley Used by permission, POWER, Personal Reflections by Youth for Youth Box 8032, St. Louis, MO 63156

Some days were just great but A good day could be many things to many people. Little things made days special, and one important event could really made a day terrific. It could be a good day just because you got through it. ■ Early dismissal days, and Homecoming and Christmas weeks helped make the days fly by and added some variety. Finishing with a project before a deadline, passing a hard test, having an unexpected movie or substitute teacher, not getting caught on your third tardy, being called out of class for a guidance appointment when you ' re supposed to take a test you didn ' t study for, hearing a good devotion, having a friend share a secret, or being noticed by somebody special could make the day a great one. But ... 14 16 good day

Lounge: The great escape The student lounge was a place to escape from the hum-drum of each school day. Cadets often used the gathering place before and after school to work on as- signments or just to sit and talk with friends. The lounge was also a hiding place for students skipping class or a haven for people kicked out of the library. Bringing with them smuggled ra- dios and forbidden frisbees, Cadets went to the lounge for a release from daily pressures. It ' s the at- mosphere that I liked, comment- ed senior Lee Essex. During Home- coming Week, the lounge was filled It ' s the atmosphere that I liked. with dead hawks and streamers, while a Christmas tree decorated the lounge at Christmas time. Sophomore Darryl Calloway stat- ed, I think there was more free- dom in the lounge than anywhere else in the school. 1) Junior Dave Daggett models his cheerlead- ing outfit for the powder puff game. 2) During study halls, the student lounge was a popular hangout for the Cadets. 3) Junior Tom Ack- mann demonstrates his great talent in bal- ancing chairs.
