Suwiyqal 0, t e ITTSST First and second periods usually dragged along monotonously while the upper and lower lids of your eyes slowly parted to let in visions of English, math or social studies. On rare ocassions the early morning classes were interupted by the low-toned squeal of the fire alarm. The fire alarm helped us cheat on tests, said David Leavitt. We would huddle up outside and ask each other what we had on a certain question and compare answers. Because of the late hour at which the upper grades ate, a I5-minute break was installed between second and third periods. It was designed to give you a chance to eat and relax. You definitely ate but had little relaxation. There was always an impossible line at the four Coke machines, and it was survival of the fittest when it came to getting a candy bar or chips from the Junior Student Council's candy cart. lt was like human bumper cars, commented senior Lorrie Tabor. The short people always got shoved to the back. Third and fourth periods brought about churning stomachs as you anxiously waited for the lunch bell. You felt like Pavlov's dogs as you listened to the bells calling the middle school to and from lunch. Finally the lunch bell rang and there was a mad rush to the Munch Box line. If you lacked the foresight to order a week ahead for lunch you were reduced to a savage beast as you fought for a choice position in the extra line. The actual eating of lunch was made less desirable by the atmospheric conditions of the gym as you struggled with the ever increasing rat population for the choice morsals of food. One senior guy said, lfl compared the gym to my bathroom at home, as a place to eat, l think I would choose my bathroom. You never quite got to finish your balony-sandwich and Fritos for the make- shift prison guards who would herd you out of the gym so the selected few could play janitor and clean up the potpouri of smelly garbage. l2l Student Life Kid napped.

Su ' al cgflulie 11TGSt Then lunch would be over and you were off to sixth period. Sixth and seventh periods would usually drag by and about this time many of you found an urgent need to go to the bathroom or water fountain. Whether the plea was legitimate or not, most teachers reluctantly signed another hall pass and reminded you to hurry back. Meanwhile, those of you still in class amused yourselves by seeing just how many pieces of illegal gum you could shove into your mouth or how far across the room you could pass a note or how many baskets you could make with a wad of paper while the teacher's back was turned. And if she turned around too quickly, you suffered with indigestion from the lumps of gum in your stomach that supposedly took seven years to pass through. Slowly the last two periods passed and the 3 p.m. bell would ring. A quick trip to your locker and you were off to see if life really did exist after school. Stacked up. Jennifer Schucck tries to balance her books as she waits patiently for the 8 a.m. bell to ring. 4. ph ny as k it X z a LR , .
