Sophomore Do- reen lacobazzi does some last minute cramming at lunch, for a test later on in the day. Students often miss their noontime nourish- ment d ue to final preparations. With extra time on her hands before first hour, senior Annette Flores flips through the card catalogue in the library to gather information for a research paper. As the morning sun appears, seniors Christine Campbell and Patty Potosky read the newspaper on the ledge while they await the sound of the bell to first hour. 8— A.M. P.M.

Grin and bear it. Cutting the grass may not be the way to spend a perfect summer day, but Mike Anderson, sophomore, smiles as he finishes his yard work. Don ' t forget to sig- nal. Junior Scott Schoenborn uses his summer vaca- tion to travel on his moped around Griffith or any- where else that his gas money will take him. Dressed in warmer clothing, sopho- more Charlie Black - well takes his broom and starts sweeping away old summer leaves that have changed color and have started getting cluttered. Day dreaming the time away, Senior Ruth Obermeyer relaxes before she has to start thinking of school or the stresses of home- work, as she is car- ried out to sea. Back to School— 7

I I Yes, the day would be better if it started later. At least the majority of Griffith High School students think it would. Julie Sanders, senior, said “If I can avoid it, I won ' t do anything in the morning besides sleep. I like to do everything, such as homework, watch TV and party at night. Ruth Obermeyer, senior, also considers herself to be a night per- son. She comme nts “I ' m really crabby when I wake up in the morning. For the first half hour after I get up, I hate talking to any- one. Junior Amy Gonzalez reflects a similar attitude. She says, “When I wake up I am really tired. After I take a shower, though, I feel fine. There are also people at Griffith who agree with Benjamin Franklin when he said, “Early to bed and early to rise, makes a man healthy, wealthy and wise. Mr. Bob Hastings, history teach- er, said, I always get up early and go to bed early. If I slept in until 8 a.m. that would be incredibly late. I can ' t even remember the last time I did that. “When I want to relax at night, I ' ll read a book. When I want to wake up in the morning, I put my sweats on and go jogging, Joan Meny, senior, said. She added, “I ' ve always been a morning per- son, ever since I was a little baby. Dave Coil, junior, responds, “The first thing I do when I get up is to take a shower. Then I usually do homework. I ' m pretty wide awake early in the morning. Diversity in our school is not un- common. There are morning people, there are night peo- ple and there is , Dick Kretz. He j said, “I can ' t sWI’ consider myself a morning per- son because I like to sleep in. I can ' t consider myself a night person because I like to go to bed early. I need my sleep. Although many feel they operate at peak performance during a specific part of the day, we all must learn to adjust. It may not be easy for a morning person to handle Advanced Biology last hour, and the night people may have trouble making it through Calculus first thing every day. Since the school schedule is set, without much hope for any vari- ation, students and teachers alike must adapt during the school year, and return to their natural biologi- cal clocks during the summer. “I can always sleep late in the summer, said senior Lisa Black- well. Senior James Ting- ley plans his future by looking at some college catalogues in the library. Many students browse in the library before class starts instead of wandering about. School is over. Sen- ior Sami Natzke waits patiently for someone to pick her up. Many stu- dents have to find a way home because of certain after school activities. A.M. P.M.— 9 |
