Standing around in the sophomore locker banks just telling jokes and laughing is Randy Akers, Nick McCrary, Amy Hunter and Vince Ble¬ vins. Juniors Jennifer Johnston and Kay Ed¬ wards wait for their favorite soap op¬ era to come back on after the com¬ mercial. Trying to concentrate, sophomore Diana Six gets her homework done so she can get to other things like talk¬ ing on the phone.

Amy Collier goes down the line of the new salad bar that was added to the commons this year just putting a little of this and a little of that on it. Mrs. Wilkinson checks passes as a part of her average day while fresh¬ men Angela Lindsey and Valerie Hall pass by her during sixth period. Wearily Kay Edwards stretches over to shut off that darn alarm clock as her day begins so very bright and ear¬ ly.

Another Day (cont’d) When it finally rang, the anxious students would gath¬ er all their books and rush outside to their cars before the buses began to depart. And again there was that long line to get out of school. That line left many students to crank up their radios with loud music and to chit-chat about what went on during the school day. After their great depar¬ ture and drive down Route 11, there were those thoughts of homework and what to do after school. Some decided to give themselves a break and make a drop-off at Hardee’s in Dublin. Perhaps it was only for an iced tea and a big cook¬ ie, but it seemed something of a great uplift after that aver¬ age day at school. The wel¬ come followed that. For some, a happy pet may have been waiting with smiling eyes and a wagging tail. Now once set¬ tled down at home, it was ei¬ ther helping out around the house, going to a job, or may¬ be working out at King’s. But from 3:18 in the afternoon the student’s day was filled with “average” activities. Perhaps after watching their usual soap opera one would help get supper ready. Then the family would sit down for dinner. That may have been the only time spent together. But after the dishes had been cleared, homework was begun. One would try to get it done quick¬ ly but thoroughly. Next was the phone. Any “average” stu¬ dent stayed on the phone to make plans for the weekend. Then getting ready for bed, the day ended looking for the next. Senior Brian Wade goofs off while standing around the IMC during lunch with Mrs. Holcomb. Her Santa hat got lots of recognition. For many students pulling out from the high school meant a rearview mirror scene such as this to remember. Student’s Average Day 17
