Home Away From Home Open, shut, tall, or short, lockers surrounded us. Homes away from homes, friends in time of need, and pains when we were rushed, lockers were a necessary part of our daily school lives. “What is that combination?” ‘‘Do you turn from right to left, or left to right, or neither?’’ “‘Help! I’m going to be late again.’ ‘‘Excuse me, but could you help me?” Taking a short trip down the halls, you may have heard these comments and many more. Lockers were a real pain at times, but when it came down to it, they were a big help. It was a place to keep your personel things, to stash your books so you didn’t have to carry them, and of course, most important, a place to meet your girlfriend or boyfriend! Or any friend! Like any other home, we decorated our lockers to suit our tastes.

Often students found little sur- prises such as balloons, banners, and streamers awaiting them in their lockers in celebration of their special day. Some organizations even had ‘‘secret pals.’’ What a nice addition to Monday (or any other day) to find a bag of candy, a small gift (they loved tiny stuffed animals) or other remembrance in your locker. Lunch time found students gathered around lockers to talk, some quietly, some loudly, to study, or just to take a “‘lazy break.”’ Sure, lockers were used for storing books and personal belongings, but they also proved to be ‘‘a home away from home.”’ Students like Christy Wray decorate their locker. | with posters of rock and TV stars to make them mor : homey. | = Sao SHOES SRA aeRO RORES

Students Billy Hoffman and Jade Perdue help each other with homework during class. What are friends for? By his locker, Jeff Hall glances over his notes before going to class. No embarrassment of unknown or wrong answers for him today! In the hall, Tyson Hamberick works diligently to finish his homework, so that he may have time to socialize, cruise, or loaf after school. Studiously intent, Tonya Ellis looks on while Sarah Dudley explains homework that is unusually tough. 26 Homework
