,aww 3' Spirit Fills The Parking Lot lt was surprising how much time students spent in the parking lots around school. They arrived early in the morn- ing to get a parking place and to finish last-minute homework and talk. At fourth period, activity once again filled the lots as students went to and from lunch or sat out- side, eating and gossiping. After school, kids horsed around, sharing their last bits of news before they headed home for the day. The parking lot was also filled after every football game as students went over the game with their friends while waiting to cheer for the exhausted foot- ball players. At a glance, the students' cars could almost be linked to their personlities. Everything from pick-ups to old classics to sporty MG's to Daddy's Mercedes or Mom's station wagon filled the school lots. Each car became a part of the driver's life.

24 f STUDENT LIFE School Activity Begins Earlg Long before the morning bell rang, the school bustled with activity. Some students had arrived early for such classes as EA or driver's ed. Others sat in the library to finish homework, study, or read. The majority had made the sacrifice of getting out of bed in the pitch black morning in order to socialize before the start of school. The most congested areas were the halls and front foyer where friends gathered to share their plans for the day, their fears for upcoming tests, and their news about who called last night. In secluded spots, couples tried to find some time alone before separating for an entire dayr This early morn- ing time made up a major part of school life.

Lunch Bunch ls Varied Lunch was usually a time to eat, but it didn't always turn out that way. Mr. Hamilton was giving a test fifth period and some students had to stay in the library to study. Sit- ting there, they could see friends milling around, gossiping, and looking at their Pickwick pictures from the homecom- ing dance. Other students decided cramming their faces at Dairy Queen would be more fun than cramming for the test. They rationalized that they spent more time at Dairy Queen than at home and so their home lunch passes were valid. Nevertheless, they carefully avoided Coach Crowder, their world history teacher and hall patrolman, and darted off campus. As the bell rang, they swallowed one last bite, took one last quick glance at their notes, and made a mad dash for class. David Brumley reads outside of school. l'Il take all of these.
