The Homeroom Challenge: What can one do Each day students join a very familiar group of classmates from 8:40 to 8:50 in a class called homeroom. But can this even be called a class? Students certainly spend enough time there throughout the years — 114 hours or two trimester classes. Considering all the time spent there one would think that many earth-shattering events transpire. Each day attendance is taken and announcements are made. for just ten r Not very earth shattering. Now a challenge arises to students; what then, is homeroom? Many students find this time ideal for catching up on unfinished homework. Others find it ideal for catching up on sleep after doing homework late into the previous night. Socializing is also a common way to pass the daily ten minute lull. Often creativity plays a role in how the time is spent — how many excuses for tardiness can be concocted before a teacher discov- linutes? ers that students are only attempting to avoid dreaded 8th mods? The topic of homeroom has always baffled students. Why does it really exist? Do the teachers just need a break after getting through their first mod? Does the administration just want to see if students can handle being with the same people for four years? The answer is one that may never be known.

Twins emerge for Sadie Hawkins dance Many girls came out of the closets in November and asked that special guy for a date to the Sadie Hawkins Dance held on December 6th. The theme of the dance was Twins and that is exactly what most students dressed like. Some dressed as doctors, hockey players, or prisoners. The hardest part was figuring out a way to look exactly like your date, said Beth Krepela (12). It must have worked because one had to look twice to see the difference. At the dance, students had the chance to exchange vows and get married. Some unlucky fellows were dragged off to a jail cell where their only bail was a kiss from their date. Others stood in line to have their pictures taken by a photographer. Spirit Unlimited supplied the music and the twins supplied the fun. It was great seeing everyone having so much fun with each other, said Christine Hendrickson (10). Whether it be slow dancing with their dates or jamming with everyone, the best of times was here again.
