M- Students are faced with morning battles he roar of the alarm clock, T sunlight peeking through the window shade, the moaning of a sleepy Oakie not so ready for another day of school. Most Oak Park students would have liked to stay asleep on the weekday mornings. But everybody knew they had to be at Oak Park by 8 A.M. When my alarm went off, l felt like 'Oh great, another day of school,' said senior Kevin Campbell. I just wanted to go back to sleep. My alarm clock frustrated me, said Cindy Call, senior. lt reminded me of all of the things I had to do at school that day. I felt like rolling back in bed and not worrying if I was there before the 8:00 lights went off, said Andrea Ciccio, senior. Most Oakies did find the willpower to roll out of bed. But that did not necessarily mean they were quite awake by the time they left for school. I was always still half-asleep when I got into my car, said Kevin. So, I usually hit Quik Trip. I needed a coke in the morning to wake me up. Junior, Suzie Rastorfer sometimes went to McDonalds for a coke before school. I needed some caffeine to open my eyes a little, she said. When Cindy arrived at Oak Park around 7:30, the student parking lot was deserted When junior Dan Konecny arrived at 7:45, the lot usually had only a few cars. But, by five minutes til 8:00, the parking lot scene changed. It was a mad house, said Suzie. You ended up taking the last parking spaces at the end of the lot. Everybody in cars zoomed around looking for a space while people darted in front of them. They were all rushing to get in the building by 8:0O. By the time I got there, there were always about three parking spaces left, said Kevin. The halls were similar to the parking lot when the five-minute warning lights went off. Just like the parking lot, you had to dodge around so many people to get to your locker, get your books, and get to first hour on time, Suzie said. The halls before 8:00 were really loud, everybody running around and hurrying to get to their classes, said An- drea. After, the 8:00 lights went off, though, it was a different story. The only peo- ple in the halls were those who did not make it to class on time and had to sign in late down- stairs. Oakies tried to be wide awake by 8:00, but they did not always succeed. Since I was a T.A. first Ilya., hour, sometimes I ended up catching up on my sleep, said Andrea. First hour was tough for me. I had to be awake by then because it was a hard cIass, Dan said. Even though some Oakies moaned in the morning I don't want to go to school, most of them made it to Oak Park on time. And starting at 8 a.m., the school day was off and running. by Jennifer Sell . - . , , , J ., , 7 ,J 4 .h V5- .jfj A ff f I f A I i a I I 1- .Q 'f 1' ,- ' 2 4 , ' 1 5 L .
