Ten...nine...eight...seven...six...five ...four. . .three...two...one. ..RlNG!!! Throughout the 1976-1977 school year, the bell was heard at least nineteen times on a normal school day. After the bell signaled to report from one class to another, there were four minutes to do so. What went on in those four minutes could have been as simple as iust going to your locker or as diffi- cult as making a dash all the way to the other end of school so as not to be tardy to your next class. During this between class time the halls were covered with couples meeting for a brief moment to kiss or be walked to the next class, which usually resulted in one of the two or both being tardy. Some of the students were unfortunate enough to have auto-mechanics or shop right after biology, which is half way across the school. They had no time to stop and talk. The time given between classes intended for changing classes and going to your locker became a time to socialize. After the Bell Q iq fgffe- Y alls became a maze of people after the bell. Getting to the next class teasy. Oieda chances being tardy by walking girlfriend, Lisa Dixon, to her next Karen Hewitt seems to be having trouble finding someone as she leans over the rail. The stairs created quite a traffic iam between classes. Shortcuts were often taken through the different areas. Here, Dixie Sexton avoids the halls. Student Life - 3

. fi: . nttom lockers have very many disadvantages, ch as being hit in the head by the top locker, nd backaches caused by all the bending down. s McDaniel illustrates one of the advantages of ving a top locker which is being able to see tide her locker witflout bending down. Lockers get stubborn sometimes and will not open, not even a crack. Enola Gay was having this particular problem with her locker. The bell has rung and students clutter the halls as they slowly head for their next class. Some hurry straight to class, others take a detour to a rectangle box, better known as The Locker . Many times this vicious machine will be very stubborn and make a student late, by iamming or not opening. There are peculiar times when only half of the locker aiars and the other half sticks. Boy, does it feel good when the thing opens first time! The first week of school students would lug around all their books from class to class because their lockers had a secret combination that no one knew, or they iust did not have a locker. But in a few days the locker calamity was solved. More students meant more lockers were needed. So bare walls were covered by the little rectangle boxes. Ronnie Molnoskey concentrates on which books to take to his next class. A problem many students have is picking up their English book when they desired their History. 4-18-36 5 2 if J . ga !
