Bzzzz, another day as begun; the musical medley signaling homeroom . . classes ... LUNCH .. . more classes ... clubs .. sports . . . detentions ... dinner . . . homework . . bed time . Definitely NOT a typical day in the life of a high schooler!!!! Beginning with the early morning, the life of a NiWeHi stu¬ dent is off and running. Whether it be the task of catching the bus or waiting for a friend’s ride, everyone is op their toes. The school day proceeds, but never without excitement. Whether it be escaping from study hall, to the cafeteria, lounging on the front lawn to get that “summer tan,” or picking up a new spot to indulge an afternoon lunch, students find new and different ways to spend their day. The after school scene provides even more excitement. Club meetings, detentions, and practices do not encompass the major¬ ity of the day. Many students find themselves shopping, going out with friends, or working part time. However, as the sun begins to set, students head for home. They grab a bite to eat, turn on the television, call a friend, and finally tend to some homework before heading to bed. Freshmen are learning the NiWeHi ways as sophomores and juniors continue to practice this ritual, and seniors have master- end to DO IT ALL!!!! Parveen Najiullah Freshmen find the cafeteria to be the ideal place for gather ing before school. Afterwards students must rush off to home¬ room and begin their day. School plays provide fun and entertainment for the audience as well as the actors. SPIRIT — and an attempt to roll the Raiders off the board. Indians parade on Oakton.
