7 ' fe Jime Ji 3.05. . . 70c ' ne ( tau t ' OcUf The time is 7:55 a.m. The place is Fulton. Or, it could be Tupelo. Bumper-to-bumper cars with drivers who will not become fully conscious until mid-morning, if then. They move as if in a trance — in slow motion, gathering books and groping toward class. Each movement is an effort. Parking spaces are at a premium. High school students and faculty arrive first, claiming choice spots. Then, instructors fill the few reserv- ed slots. The remainder of the park- ing area is up for grabs as students and faculty vie for the spaces. Or, persons who aren ' t lucky enough to claim the early spots circle endlessly in search of a legal space. If none are available, with the risk of a ticket foremost, but a ticking clock show- ing seconds before class intervening, drivers make new parking areas. Students who ride the bus don ' t have that problem. One by one, the buses arrive, depositing the passengers who have ridden for as long as an hour — rising early and cutting short their sleep. The time is 3:04 p.m. Buses stand single file — a row of white in front of the gym, engines throbbing, drivers waiting anxiously. Riders pause to visit with friends as they board. Excited laughter almost equals the high-pitched sound of the bell as passengers entertain each other with stories about the events of the day. Some settle down for a nap as students pour from classrooms. One by one, the buses roll on. Cars join the convoy. Drivers jockey for position as parking spaces empty and students and faculty end another day. We ' re CUTTIN ' OUT! 16 Beglnningi
