Jeannie Rathz Julie Ray Nancy Reder Mike Redmon Where Were You For 32,400 Minutes? Yes stated 88% of the senior doss to the question, Is homeroom o Waste? During the seniors four years, 45 minutes a day were set aside for homeroom. One senior stated It adds up to 32,400 minutes, 540 hours, 221 2 days which were wasted since we were freshmen. Many of the students stat- ed that it should be optional at the end of the day, or maybe just one day a week. Seniors felt Why not go home earlier? If you are going to use the time why not use it at home? It defeats its own purpose be- cause no one wants it any- way. The other 12% felt they needed the time to talk to counselors, do homework, go to club meetings, or just a chance to talk to their friends. Comments were made that it was boring, but good , or needed to break up the monotony of the day . The main reason sighted for not eliminating home- room was that another time would have to be alloted for activities and club meet- ings. Seniors made it through four long years of home- room, while hoping for it to be finally abolished. Jim B ennie and Lance Wittrey battle out a game of ctiess during honneroom. Kim Rees Seniors 171
