A Day in the Life’ 1 3 The harsh ringing of the alarm clock started off another school day. That scene was repeated with countless variations by the students of Lapeer East for 120 days. After morning preparations for the day ahead, students trudged to their awaiting vehicle or bus stop, to wind their way to the school building never quite awake for the surprises ahead. Pulling into the parking lot revived their senses as they or the bus driver dodged students, other buses, vehicles, and the occasional bicyclist or dog. In the school students checked out their lockers and from there three directions were possible: 1. Into the hall to migrate first west, then east while talking with friends. This often served two purposes, conversation and a method to wake up; 2. Some students rushed to catch the bus to vo-tech; and 3. Some students were tempted by the lure of the parking lot, where they found Mr. Warner to keep them in line. With another ring at 8:00, that 1st class began by 4th hour, lunch usually was welcome. Besides eating the 20 minutes was used for cramming for fifth hour’s test, or even a friendly food fight in the cafeteria. Too soon over for everyone, the grind began again for the remaining hours. Slowly, sixth hour crawled by, until that magic bell at 2:30 released the hordes of students. The chaos in the parking lots again occurred, except in reverse, until the building was abandoned to athletes practicing and a slowly dwindling amount of faculty and administration.
