Big not only in square feet, but also in people and events. Some of the happenings were planned, others spontaneous, some had an air of dignity while many were frivolous. Some of the dumbest things happen at school, like people drag racing, wearing curlers, guys painting their fingernails and girls cutting their hair, said Barbara Santos. Fridays were usually the busiest days of the week, especially during football season. All the learning, fun and excitement began around five- thirty on school mornings. Custodians arrived at various times to clean up and open school. 'lWe pick up trash and try to keep the building clean. I work mostly outside in the yard, so l get here about seven o'clock, said Mr. Daniel Evans, yard worker.

Mr. Randy Stano, publications adviser, was often forced to stay as late as three o'clock in the morning working on the newspaper and yearbook. After being up so late, sometimes Mr. Stano turned his alarm off and went back to sleep the next morning. Sometimes someone who was in my first period class calls and wakes me up by 7:45 a.m. complained Mr, Stano. Early vocational classes were offered for juniors and seniors. Teachers were willing to meet with students every morning around seven-thirty, Students took the early morning vocational cooperative class so they could check out at noon and go to work.
