Sophomores missed the highlight of high school life— study hall, room 208. Mr. Chil¬ dress announced its end at the beginning of the 1972-73 school year. Study hall became a free hour, and students could do as they pleased, except of course, the ultimate no-no’s” like leaving campus and wan¬ dering through the halls. Some violated these rules which kept our principal busy making warnings now and again as to the resumption of those dull, drab hours spent in room 208. The lucky ones, those having study hall either 4th or 5th hour, could leave campus and no one really knew the dif¬ ference. Thus, the path to the pool hall was well worn, and the race to get a booth was even more competitive. A few brave souls raced out to Burger King or the Lure instead. Those daring to violate this supreme school policy usually received their just desert by ending up in detention for days, some¬ times weeks on end. As always, the cafeteria, or pit was packed for either snacking, lunching, or studying. Lunch hours and study hall were as un-entertaining as in past years, either for sleeping, eating, listening to music, roaming the halls, sipping a coke from the now defunct coke machine, or just getting away from it all for one or two hours of the day. FREE TIME BECOMES LURING ABOVE—The sometimes muddy path uptown was trod, as always, in the great race to get anywhere first. BELOW— Karen Mikulich, Kathy Navarro, Dawn Steuer, and Renee Samano eat their lunch away from school in the always packed, favorite hangout of high school¬ ers, the Pool Hall.’’ RIGHT—This chair, idle in a state of suspended ani¬ mation, represents many minds and bodies in the long, lost study hall hours.
