ou knew it by heart. The Daily Routine. Five days a week, everyday, you'd wake up, take a shower, get dressed, eat breakfast, leave for school at 7:59. Speeding down the final stretch isome called it Hinson Roadl at 90 mph,you thought that if you lived through this it would never happen again. When you pulled into the parking lot at 50 mph, losing the bottom half of your car on the speedbreaker , you had to swerve sharply to the left to avoid the spaceless sopho- mores and freshmen who had lined the entrance and exit. Slowing down to 30 mph, you proceeded through the lot, dodging bumpers and fenders or mothers who were in a rush to get home. Running through the courtyard, you vaulted over picnic tables and tried to avoid Carter Brown, who wouldn't move for anyone. It was almost like playing Frogger, except you were the frog. Once in the building you had to avoid stepping on Miss Hamilton in the crowd. Considering all of this, it was a miracle if you made it on time. Homeroom was always a panic as youtried to cramfor first period. Sophomore Chris Franzetti said, We should have a longer homeroom so we could do our homework. You either had to fill out surveys, vote on obscure topics or find a substitute for a belt. Da Breaks 12.Student Life

nce in the grind of seven periods, you turned your thoughts not to chemistry, algebra or history but how you could get out of class. Sometimes bathroom emergencies worked, and other times you had to resort to faking hiccups. Freshmen Marci Smith and Curt Holton, invented excuses ranging from l've got a headache, can I please go get an aspirin? to My pet rock died, can I call my mom? Throughout the year, planned activities saved you brainwork. Things such as homeroom basketball, the Miss P.A. Pageant, Career and College Days, and Slave Day provided much- needed breaks. Sometimes unplanned things like Big Mac Meetings helped out too. ,Whatever the break, it was a welcome change. The 5-minute breaks between periods always seemed to be a second or two shorter than you needed. Mike jones, junior, said, I got tired of crawling under seniors to get to my locker. Because top lockers were a senior privilege, most of the juniors did some kneebending. Sometimes the safari to class was perilous, especially for you guys. Purses semmed to be a weapon as they swung unexpectedly from every girl's shoulder. Day Breaks 140smaem Life WW V jf' if' - D ' .4
