Juniors have discovered a unique method of doing homework without the aid of a pen, pencil or brain. The object of the Homework Game was to make the grade without doing the work. As the deadlines for homework grew nearer, students began seeing images of the merciless teachers' greedy hands, grabbling for the homework assignments. After mental pictures like these, students began playing musical notebooks to get the work completed. Some even paid to let their fingers do the walking through unfamiliar notebooks. ln urgent cases, when no field trips or assemblies provided 38 f Juniors: F. Smith - Walker reasons to avoid homework, some juniors actu- ally attempted the work themselves during lunch. After waking up on deadline day with only a blank sheet of paper, juniors had to trick their teachers into giving them extra time by means of the EXCUSE. 'tl ran out of notebook paper and all the stores were closed because the city was in a blackout. My brother and I were fight- ing onthe way to school today and he threw my homework out the car window. My mother ran out of diapers for my baby sister, and my home- work and a roll of tape were lying nearby . . Although the end result was still a zero, teachers enjoyed the various stories and usu- ally stayed a move ahead in the game Jason Plummer. ln some classes, students are allowed time to work on homework.

Wake Upl I know it's fourth period and you've just had lunchg it's warm and your desk top begins to look as if it was a big beige pillow. You see your teacher and try your hardest to listen but the more you listen the farther away the voice goes. Boom! Your face crashed on top of your desk and you finally wake up only to be met by the disappointed staring eyes of your teacher. Ask any junior in a fourth period class right after lunch how hard it is to stay awake and they'Il tell you that it is definitely a hard job! lt must be natural for the body to sleep after its need for food has been filled. Some fourth period teachers understand how hard it is to stay awake but only a very small percentage will let this pass. But be- ware not to sleep too often for everyone knows if you snooze, you lose. James Sloan Juniors: M. Koontz - Mink X 37
