WAKE UP Alarms ring early after summer, shocking sleepers out of bed ornings are a time for yawn- ing and grumbling, Why does school have to start so early anyway? ; but Ct notable differ- ence can be seen in how the time is used by different people. After getting up at 5 a.m., cheer- leaders arrive at school at 6:30 to practice cheers for games and pepfests. The music from the gym, where the danceline and silks practice their routines from tapes made by the band, echoes through the hallways. A few tvery, very fewt students come to school in the mornings to re- ceive help on math or go to the media center to make last minute changes on a report. For the average girl at Cooper, curl- ing their hair, putting on makeup, and deciding what outfit looks in vogue re- quires them to get up two hours before school starts; but for the average guy, getting ready for school doesn't mean a big ordeal. Senior Jason Scherschligt said, I get up at 6:30, take a shower, eat breakfast, read the comics, and leave at 7:05 for my bus. For some people, mornings seem to be more of a nightmare than just c1 nuisance. Pushing the sleep button on their alarm and jumping out of bed fifteen minutes before school starts oc- cupies their mornings. Then, after tak- ing a two-minute shower, they jump into their car and rush off to school. No matter What the morning routine con- sists of, the students must arrive at school by 7:30. .- Ieff Melby greets the homerooms each day with the morning announcements. Jeff is head PA. announcer.
