“A DAYGIN THE tines A high shrill pierces the air. “‘No! It can’t be ... It is!’ @¢ %$ Ah yes, and so it begins another day in the life of the average high school teenager. Yes, we rise with sun, but we just wipe the sleep from our eyes and drudge through the routine. We turn on the radio to our favorite station and we’re ready to roll. We’re out the door, hopefully before 7:30 a.m. (by the way, school does start at 7:30) and greet the world with a happy smile (well, sometimes). What’s nice about Poquoson High School is that when we arrive in the morning we see the same faces. Who needs the shock of diversity at 7:30? — not us. A quick dose of gossip and off to first hour is the usual norm. “‘ heard you had a good weekend (scoff-scoff)!” “Did you hear about so-and-so?” “‘It can’t be Monday already.”’ Exciting, hmm? But seriously, PHS is not a bad place. The teachers and faculty are great. So we make it through the day, hang out by the drink machines until say 2:30, or we go to sporting practices, and head on home. We relax, kick up the feet, watch a soap or two, hit the books and soon enough ... a high shrill pierces the air. “‘No, it can’t be.” John Vaughan will do anything for a little attention, (far right); Martha Wiggs de- monstrates her ability ... to melt butter? (right). 16 Student Life
