Pacific held classes during the hottest time of the day, causing discomfort for both the students and the faculty as the rooms were often warm- er than the outside temperature. Below: Entering and leaving the student parking lot posed numer- ous problems such as watching for police and other obstacles. Below right: Kristi Jones, Ken Bruning and Pam Knea walk home after school as it is getting dark. This situation got worse and worse as it got later and later in the fall of the year. Above right: Football practice for the Pirates was in the morning from 9:00 to 11:00 to escape the terrific heat of the afternoon. Sizzling temperatures, traffic jams, and late dinners were the main problems that faced Pacific High School students during double sessions. The students and faculty arrived on campus at the time of day when the temperature was highest and things got worse instead of better as the after- noon progressed. Because many of San Bernardino High School ' s students and faculty were just leaving as we were arriving there was often quite a traffic jam on all the streets surrounding the campus. Another inconvenience was the fact that some students had to walk home in the dark. PAOFiCSUFFERED SILENTLY

r- Tta PVvoiu ' U vuu tgs f itcWfed V vdou Kctiuitito Having their morning hours free, Pacific High School stu- dents used the time in many various ways. Some Pirates, such as the football team and the members of leadership, had practice sessions in the a.m. that they would usually have held after school. Many students simply messed around with their friends, however some used the time constructively, doing such things as their homework or holding down a job. Although everyone did adjust to the unusual schedule, all were happy to return to 8:30 to 3:10. Far left, above: Since she was able to sleep in during her free mornings Mary MacGregor could stay up late at night and enjoy herself. Left, above: Because it was so late in the evening when school let out some stu- dents didn ' t do their homework until the next morning. Below, left: Candy Bumgardner and Greg Moloney used one of their mornings to shop at the Inland Center. Since most other people were either at work or in school, shopping areas weren ' t crowded. Directly below: The warm Sep- tember weather was conducive to such recreation as swimming, even during the morning hours. Above right: Many clubs had morning breakfast meetings as it was too late to hold meetings after school. Richies was a pop- ular place for these meetings because of its proximity to our campus. Below, right: Many Pi- rates had jobs during their free morning hours like Melodee John who was a lab assistant at the Root-Scott Medical Laboratory. PUC IN 1UB A. M- - - ' ••
