Late Class Being late to class was one headache that just wouldn't go away RRRRRING! Hurry up! yelled all of your friends as you began to sprint toward your classroom seat. But it was too late. You walked in the door and the teacher said, Sign inf' As you looked at the sheet and noticed this was your third tardy, you thought to yourself, Detention! The hardest part about filling out the sign-in sheet usually was filling out the EXCUSES column. Some people were more creative than others in ex- plaining their reasons for being late.- I was attacked by flying squirrels, was an excuse used by freshman Joel DeLaVegaL Or, My hemorrhoids were acting up, was written by fresh- man Justin Frank. Though these ex- cuses might have been humorous to the students, the result was almost al- ways the same in the teacher's grade- book: Unexcused. Some people proved to be really sincere in their excuses though. I ran all the way from the other building and still didn't get here on time, freshman John Turner pleaded. Or more simply phrased by freshman Jeff Huhtanen, PLEASE But after your third tardy, it didnlt matter how good your excuse was, 52 academics you still got a detention. I don't think detentions are fair, said sophomore Stephen Greer. If you can't get to class on time, a deten- tion is not going to make you run fas- ter. To make matters worse, teachers often called parents to advise them of your tardies. 'gMy mother was not happy with me when my English teacher called and told her that one of my reasons' for being late was that I was helping the needy, said' sophomore Courtney Joyner. Many times excuses on the sign-in sheet read, There's not enough time between classes. I think seven minutes should be given in between classes, said sopho- more Cody Mix. Five minutes isn't enough time to get between buildings and make a stop at your locker or the restroomf' In the end, your excuse didn't really make that much difference - you usually had to serve your time and look forward to next semester when the tally started over and you got two more chances to be late.
