Lockers hold hidden treasures use of Lockers and surprises varies greatly i t ' s old, brown and it always sticks. It ' s kind of ugly— like my locker neigh- bor! sophomore Roni Dimitrioff. What is she talking about? Her locker, of course. Some students overlook and sometimes forget about this home- away-from-home. But others treat their lockers with a little T.L.C. and try to improve it in any way they can. My locker features pictures of the latest babes in heavy metal, junior Ju- lie Davids. Her locker is one that stands out in many peoples minds whenever the thought of lockers or metal music comes to mind. Like some others Julie ' s locker is lavished with pictures of guys, mirrors and other paraphenalia. Where is this famous locker? Just walk down the hall and when you see a crowd of girls drooling over Jon Bon Jovi, Ratt and many others, you ' ll know. I have to abuse my locker. Half of the time the lock doesn ' t open. So I get mad and kick the locker, also the top won ' t close without slamming it about ten times! junior Jenny Schutz. Locker abuse seems to be a com- mon way to express one ' s anxieties For example, you can always tell when your friend has just had a fight with their current lover . It ' s usually a combina- tion of trying the combination at least five or six times, swearing, kicking the dent at the bottom in worse, swearing, throwing their books and finally slam- ming it shut. All of this combination can also characterize a test of any sort. That you forgot about being late for a class, insanity or vengeance. Your locker after it has closed upon your fin- ger, scratched your arm or given you some other locker injury. But, lockers can serve other purposes besides an anxiety reliever or a place to keep your stuff. Lockers also serve as a place of rest as you ' re talking to friends the first thing you do when there ' s an open spot is to lean against them or hang on the doors. I don ' t keep anything in my locker. It ' s all in my boyfriend Ray ' s! said junior Jennifer Atkinson. Not unlike many peo- ple, Jenny abandons her locker to be closer with her boyfriend. Many stu- dents also share lockers with a close friend if their locker is nearer to classes. This leaves more passing time to gossip in between classes. But the majority of the students seem to feel the same way senior Amy Schmidt does, My locker really doesn ' t excite me— ya know— a lock- er is a locker! Surrounding by heavy metal mania, junior Julie Davids gets her books for her next class. Many students enjoy adding a little life to their lockers by putting pictures and posters up. Does anyone want to claim this locker? With Bon Jovi. Ratt, and David Lee Roth hanging up, most girls probably would in a minute. This is one of the various ways people make their school life more exciting. — Lockers
