Good ■ ■ ■ rustling Morning Time to eat is often hard to find while rushing to get ready for school. However, many students eat cereal for a fast breakfast BUZZ— BUZZ!!! The alarm goes off, and it’s time to get up and get ready for another school day. Many MHS students wake up hours before they have to be at school in order to look their best. “I get up at 5:30 a.m. so I can take a shower, do my hair and put on my makeup,” said Jeri Scrivnor, senior. While some students get up hours before school, others get up just minutes before their bus arrives. Pete Kachur, senior, said, ‘‘It takes me 15 minutes to get ready for school. I take a show- er, get dressed and run out the door.” Girls tend to take more time getting ready for school than boys because girls are more self-conscious about the way they look. “Guys really don’t care how they look, but most girls take it a bit too seriously,” said Dan Sell, senior. Ann Mestousis, junior, said, It’s important to look nice, but students don’t have to spend hours getting ready for school to have a nice appear- ance. All that counts is that you ' re comfortable.” Many students that over sleep and don ' t have enough time to do their normal morn- ing routine just throw on any- thing and run out of the house. Karrin Burke, sophomore, said, “When I ' m running late for school, I throw on the first thing I see and catch my ride to school.” Time to eat is often hard to find while rushing to get ready for school. However, many stu- dents eat cereal for a fast breakfast. Greg Chidsey, senior, said, “I like to eat Apple Jacks for breakfast because it allows me extra time to get ready. I also like to dig the prizes out of the cereal box!” by REAGAN PLESHA Putting on her make up before school is Michelle Drinski, junior. Applying make up is a part of almost every girl ' s routine in the morning. Ready to apply mousse to her hair is Lisa Bernstein. Many of the students wear mousse in their hair for style. 13 Good morning
