) enovation affected student life in a variety of difficult, yet comical ways. Students sat through classes as dust, hammering, and verbal no-nos filtered through vents. When the bottom floor was boarded, students were forced to move into new lockers, often needing to wait in line to gather books and personal belongings. The halls and lunchrooms became overcrowded, and it sometimes seemed strange to have to enter the building on 119th Street, with no choice but to proceed up the staircase to the main floor. The facelift established patterns and barriers for students, but these students did not become disillusioned as they weeded through roadblocks in excited anticipation. Laugh Lines ... Laugh Lines ...

Interest in Trigonometry and Computers brought Suellen Szarmach and Terry Franklin to a one week I.U. Math Workshop. Boys ' and Girls ' Staters-Front row: Sharon Heslin, Vince Catania, Donna Quigley. Back row-Mark Sciacero, |im Radloff, Damon Homco. »- Wa+m dotted dDii ds s- Time was the most important thing to all workshoppers. There just never seemed to be enough of it. Whether selected for their scholastic ability as Marylynn Samek, Linda Navta, and Boys and Girls staters or if they just wanted to improve themselves or learn new techniques to better our school ' s institutions, workshoppers agreed they still didn ' t have the time they needed to do everything. For some, the day began with a knock on the door by floor counselors or an alarm set for 6:00 a.m. From then on it was a race against the clock; running to classes, applying new techniques in assignments, meeting new people, taking breaks, finishing the afternoon with supper, listening to lectures, attending the last class of the day. Most workshoppers agree this is when the fun began. Confined to their respective halls around 10:00 p.m., workshoppers found ways to amuse themselves until lights out; whether it was by having pillow fights, or more often than that doing homework. A room check concluded the evenings activities for some workshoppers. But others lingered on in dimly lit rooms, under beds, and in closets, cramming to finish that one last all-day assignment, probably all night, too. Returning home, exhausted workshoppers all agreed that there just was not enough time. The Cologne Cathedral was one of the many places Marylynn Samek visited during an eight week stay in Germany. 11
