The front spaces fill up quickly with late arrivals having to make a long distance run from the back.

Getting here hardest part Getting here is half the battle. But it is one that must be fought five days a week. Students arrive on campus by several different means of transpor- tation. Those who have a license and their own vehicle seem to have it better. Many of them are courteous to their friends by giving them a lift. Others ride the school bus, better known as the yellow dog, or catch a ride with their parents. However, there are always those who just couldn't get it together in time to make the 8:25 tardy bell. Those line up in the office for a tardy slip. Two tardy slips equal one pink slip (disciplinary referral form.) Most students manage to scramble to class after telling everyone bye as the clock reads 8:24. One more minute and another school day is underway. EVEN THOUGH IT SNOWED, students still had to come to school, slowly but surely. The buses had some difficulties, but finally managed to arrive safely. SHERRI POOL AND Suzanne Morris discuss the weekend's activities as they walk from the parking lot to the school building. 24 Student Life WAITING IN LINE in the attendance office is a common occurrence since students must get their admits before they are allowed into first period class. Kevin Cashion and Scoft Snelgrove wait their turns. WHEN THE FIRST BELL rings, students reluctant- ly start to class. Four minutes later, the clock shows 8:24 which means one more minute and either the day begins or somebody is late to class.
