Early Morning Hours The early morning hours at PRC are filled with many activities designed simply to brace the student for a long day. The student center is a focal point of activ- ity as both dormitory and commuting stu- dents come together to prepare themselves for classes with a stiff shot of hot coffee. The showers in the dormitory are usually going full blast at this time. With a large number of young people trying to share a small number of showers, havoc is sure to reign. Dormitory showers on the Pearl River campus are the breeding grounds for most of the pranks pulled on campus.

And the Ritual Begins The day officially begins on the Pearl River campus with the opening of the cafeteria for breakfast. The morning trip from dormi- tory to cafeteria to post office and on to class has become almost a ritual at PRC. The outcome of an entire day can be deter- mined before 8:00 a.m. The breakfast menu, whether or not Mom remembered to send the weekly allowance, and the weather all decide if it will be a good day or a bad day. Although very few dormitory students rise early enough to ever see a sunrise, many students who commute must get up as early as 5:00 a.m. to catch the bus. It ' s a source of amazement to many students who stay on campus that the commuting students are always so wide awake when they get off the bus. X 1 3

NEITHER RAIN NOR SNOW NOR DARK OF NIGHT . 9? After the many preparations of the morning are over, classes finally hegin. No matter what the weather, no matter how many books you have to carry, no matter how sleepy you are, when the first period bell rings, the day has to begin. The student center always contains a few last minute stragglers. Those lucky enough not to have a first period class remain to goad the others on. Neither rain nor snow nor dark of night . . . will keep the day from beginning.
