BUFH outs It happens all the time. Ideas are suggested that sound ingenious but when finally put to the test they fade like the dying embers ofa fire. P.A. had a few of its own burn outs in l983. Take the picnic tables for example. You know, the seniors' favorite Tinker Toys. At one time fashion trends were the only motivation for changing wardrobes. But in 1983, the dress code dictated our outfits. The boys kept their feet warm with required socks while we all- had to dig in our closets to find belts, shoestrings or ribbons to keep our pants up. Detention hall was abolished, but instead minor offenses were doled out like candy. Some of us like senior Paul Crow got them for everything from asking a teacher if she was in the Miss America Pageant to chewing gum. We also got them for bringing food into the building, yet a teacher's supply of coffee seemed unlimited. Besides coffee, we noticed some other very personalized aromas. The chemistry room produced a stench like rotten eggs, and Mrs. Phyllis Cordon's English classes suffered through the smells of dead rats and other U.S.O.'s funidentified smelly objectsl. Meanwhile, the smoke from the teachers' lounge wafted into room 21, and sophomores staged a sit in strike to protest. 1983 had its share of ups, downs and burn outs. The day started with a struggle to wake up, dress properly and start the car. It ended with trying to keep our eyes open in seventh period because we were up late studying the night before. But with the bad came the good. What senior would deny that stacking the picnic tables was fun? And chances are, when we reminisced about 1983 we would all smile instead of frown.

Students found themselves occupied during homeroom as they ransacked their lockers searching for something long and skinny that would substitute for a belt. XR
