Students in Their Habitat It all began at 8:05 a.m. and ended at 3:00 p.m. Technically it was termed the school day, and we all experienced it at one time or another. At 8:05 a.m., the first bell rang. This warned students who had flocked to the school store for a morning bite that they had five minutes to report to homeroom. The second bell, at 8:10 a.m., signaled the beginning of homeroom. Grades were divided and placed into homerooms alpha- betically. At 8:25 another bell rang, and the halls became jam packed with approximately 2,000 students going in about 2,000 dif- ferent directions. Lockers opened and slammed closed, and students rushed to their first class. The school day con- sisted of six fifty-five minute classes, with fourth hour being divided into three lunch periods. Port Huron High School has an open campus and students can choose their favorite lunch area. Many stay in the cafeteria and eat hot lunches or sack lunches while others prefer to eat at the various nearby fast food restaurants. For thirty hours a week, this is how the average student spent his time. High school became a way of life and all students adjusted quickly to their habitat — Port Huron High School. -23 Student Life Waiting for a paaa to be signed.
