After a while, school days become long and monotonous. MHS students find many ways of escaping the days’ hectic schedule. Be it talking with friends or sit- ting alone in a “‘quiet’’ place, everyone needs a little time to unwind and relax. The four minutes between classes may seem like a short time to break into a locker, dig through the rubble, finally find the necessary books, then make a mad dash to the next class, but it gives stu- dents a short reprieve to do what they want. Although four minutes is barely enough time in which to do the necessary things, it does allow a short chat with friends or a stop by the Coke machine for a Caffeine fix. Many MHS’ers gaze longingly at the clock waiting for the little hand to reach the 12 and the big hand to reach the 1. School’s problems often disappear at the magical moment of 12:05 when the long awaited BREAK begins! As the bell rings, students stampede the halls, attack their lockers, and dash outside to soak up the sun, lie in the grass, or play a traditional game of frisbee. This ten minutes passes more quickly than does any one minute of any other class of the day. Before anyone realizes break is even half over, it is 12:15 and time to venture off for another excit- ing fifth period. Junior Meg Perkins com- ments, “The bell ending break is my least favorite one of the day.” Tracey McElroy, Karen McPherson, Glenda Pamela Creel and Jan Edwards take Scott Swann and Dean Alexander Lawley, and Tracy Duren discuss the frisbee a breather at break discuss the upcoming band show. throwing at break - — See 4 STUDENT LIFE
