STUIDENT IJIFE Spirit Week. Homecoming. Pep assemblies. Par- ties. Break. Open lunch. Follies. The list is end- less. But what would school be like without all these extras ? Slow? Boring? A drag? The pits? Probably so. That's why someone, someplace, a long time ago decided that school needed something more. lt needed life. Student life. And we kept it alive. Singing down the halls, screaming our lungs out for our team, wearing ridiculous clothes, hamming it up for the camera, pulling pranks, and just being ourselves.. All these things put smiles on our faces and added life to an otherwise drag of a day. We may have been a little crazy. But, after all, who likes the pits? if 15,5 gzizbq L - Laura Reese, sr., grins as Andrea Duncan, sr., looks on. .Bernie Wolf and Gayla Rapp, jrs., thumb through the yearbook.

ll 77 I What a drag Ho hum, just another school day lm E ti W 12 f Daily Grind 8:30 a.m. First hour begins. Listen to another boring lecture. Yawn. Fight to stay awake 'till end of class. 9:25 a.m. Break. Yahoo! At last an intermission from the monotony of an already boring first hour, which is sure to be followed by a tedious second hour. nl 9:35 a.m. Second hour, just like you figured, studying the same 'ole things, revised just enough that they seem different. 10:35 a.m. Test of thirty pages begins, of which you 've only studied about half. Sweat like mad' as test becomes increasingly more difficult. Hand test in knowing it still has many unanswered questions. Bell rings, indicating end of period. 11:35 a.m. Fourth hour. Still thinking about the test last hour that you botched, but becoming more concerned about your hunger pangs as lunchtime approaches. The day continues to drag onf as the teacher hands out another study guide. Bell rings. Race for the lunchline! 1:15 p.m. Time again to start the study process. Another day in sixth hour Journalism. I was supposed to be looking at the finer points of the Wichita Eagle and Beacon, but l was probably making doodles on the front page pictures or writ- ing a note to Peggy , . . Probably writing a note to Peggy. -Pam Gasper, jr. The daily grind has obviously caught up with Neal Carlson, sr., as he takes a nap in his second hour College Bound English class. Brenda Wesierski, sr., has her nose to the grind- stone while she writes another paper for English. Homework, projects, reports and tests are all a part of the daily grind, sometimes resulting in Thinking to yourself that the teachers must be in cahoots against the students in school because this test looks worse than the one third hour. 2:15 p.m. Glorious sixth hour! Summarizing the end of a perfectly routine day. Now, although this is just a brief glimpse at a farcical day, it does have a few moments which can surely be reflected upon by MHSers who've exper- ienced the Daily Grind. MG i .sl L
