WAKE UP Alarms ring early after summer, shocking sleepers out of bed Mornings are a time for yawning and grumbling, Why does school have to start so early anyway? ; but a notable difference can be seen in how the time is used by different people. After getting up at 5 a.m., cheerleaders 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 (very, very few) students come to school in the mornings to receive help on math or go to the media center to make last minute changes on a report. For the average girl at Cooper, curling their hair, putting on makeup, and deciding what outfit looks in vogue requires 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 a nuisance. Pushing the sleep button on their alarm and jumping out of bed fifteen minutes before school starts occupies their mornings. Then, after taking a two-minute shower, they jump into their car and rush off to school. No matter what the morning routine consists of, the students must arrive at school by 7:30. — Jolf Molby greets the homerooms each day with the morning announcements.
