7:52 Talking on the telephone is a regular after school activity for sophomore Cheri Jeter, until I got my privileges taken away,” she said. Pholo by Rob Jones The bell rang and Jeter headed for the tennis courts, where her friends were waiting. It was off season and track members were getting out early. The day's events were the topic of discussion until Jeter glanced at her watch and the girls separated at 2:45. Then Jeter began the long trudge from her locker back across 50th. “After socializing a bit after school, I head to Dairy Queen for a cherry lime Sprite,' she said. And after her D.Q. detour, Jeter headed home. Once home, the immediate problem at hand was finding something to eat. The lunchtime trip to Burger King wasn’t enough to tide her over. A quick search through the freezer pro- duced Jeter’s favorite: chocolate ice cream. Satisfied, she kicked off her shoes and plopped down on the couch with her big bowl and the TV remote control. Settling with Three’s Company , Jeter considered the evening's possibilities. “Evenings as a sophomore girl are filled with Young Life, Campus Break, Tri-Hi-Y, and choir rehearsal,” she said. And then, of course, there was the telephone. Jeter already knew who she would have to call to catch up on the latest gossip. “I spend at least three hours on the phone every night,” she said. With gossip as her chosen activity, Jeter went back to her program, looking forward to long conversations with good friends. “I always talk until my mom comes in and tells me to get off,” she said. “Then I get back on it later.” is stomach growled as he threw his books on the couch. Glancing at the clock, junior Mike Henry pulled a box from the freezer and removed the food from the silver tray. Putting it on a plate, he threw it in the microwave. Henry did not need to read the instruc- tions on the box; he was well practiced in cooking TV dinners. “I work at United in the afternoons usually: so I eat TV dinners and my parents eat later,” Henry said. Between bites of Salisbury steak he scribbled his homework on a battered sheet of notebook paper so he wouldn’t have to worry about it later. Minutes later, Henry grabbed his smock and headed for the door, flipping off the TV on the way. There was no time for yard work today. Yard work sometimes took three hours of Henry’s day. Working until 10:30 was routine for Henry who put in 20 to 25 hours a week. At 10:30 Henry pulled up in front of his house. Falling on his bed, he was glad he had finished his homework earlier. With school the next day, all he wanted to do was go to bed. A look back indicated that a day in the life of Monterey was not a day in the life of any other school. Unique people with unique habits and unique lives made up the typical scene on campus. In that sense, one day at Monterey meant something different to each person. It was a matter of interpretation. by Renee Duncan 25 NIGHT
