The mad rush from school started early this year, as some seniors went home after fifth or sixth period, and lasted until the building was cleared at 3:25. Trudging up and down the many stairwells was a part of every North Sider ' s life. Since few stu- dents had consecutive classes on the same floor, much time was spent on the stairs. who missed out on congregating for daily gossip While some students roamed the quiet halls before and after classes, most became accustomed to being hurried along a crowded corridor or attempting to make their way up a down staircase between periods. Sev- eral ' Skins missed out on the snatches of conversation, ranging from the score of the most recent basketball game to gossip concerning someone ' s latest date. These homebound stu- dents spent several months away from school because of accidents or ill- nesses which made them incapable of attending classes. However, their edu- cation continued unaltered, with phone hook-ups and private tutors substituting for regular teachers. Standing in line for nearly an hour and missing lunch to get a ticket for the Elmhurst and North game wasn ' t at all a bother for these students, since only a few tickets were available.
