The First Day of the Rest of the Week Waking up is only half the problem “Ring, ring — just five more minutes,” you exclaim as your alarm clock goes off in the morning! Waking up is only half the problem; how you’re going to get to school is the other. Many juniors and seniors drive to school in the morning which is just so convenient. “I take my ’66 Mustang, it’s my baby, my paradise,” exclaims Laura Catanzariti, a senior who is privileged with having a car to drive to school each day. Some students are not as privileged as Laura and therefore must walk to school. As senior Vinny Drew would say, “When I can’t get a ride, I hate walking in a foot of snow.” Walking to school is a very popular means of transportation for many high school students. When asked how she got to school, junior Giokazta Molina replied “Daddy”. Many students get driven to school and they “love the door to door service” exclaimed junior Glen Garbus. Transportation to school everyday is just one of the minor problems we face. Getting through the school day however, is another story! -Vivian Ibrahim Fi Monday Mornings

Red Eyes Prevail Although most students do all types of different and flashy things over the weekend, homework is usual- ly left until late Sunday night. This means that many red eyes, groggy thoughts, and an overall dull feeling prevails on Monday mornings. The general feeling of students early Mon- day, is to just crawl back into bed and sleep. On Monday mornings most peo- ple dread the upcoming week with exams, conflicts, and failing tests. On Fridays’ after school, however, there is a whole new feeling. Students are wide awake! No more grogginess, no more down spirits, “The weekend’s here!” said Tina Martello. The home- work is once again left until Sunday nights and the cycle starts all over again. -Vicky Cullen Tim Ryan and Mike Brigandi do their best to start the day right as they cross the Monday morning threshold. Juniors Chris Tanck and Dave Holland make their way through morning traffic while building upper leg strength. Mr Healy and Mrs. Silverberg arrive and gradually slide into their Mon- day morning routines at the start of the day. Monday Mornings
