HOME AWAY FROM HOME On rhe firsr doy of school, ortempring ro open your locker Is one of rhe mosr difficult tosks you will en- counter. Ninety percent of the time you get stuck with o locker thot has o bod lock or o door that sticks. If your first doy of school srorted out this woy. rest assured; you were not olone. Since we must live with these lockers through the entire school yeor, we try to moke the inside o sec- ond home. Many place pictures of celebrities on the doors of their lockers, while others hove candid snap- shots of loved ones (or hoped-for loved ones). There ore vorying degrees of neatness concerning lockers. Some students, who must keep their rooms near ot home, let their lockers look like rhe aftermath of on explosion. Others, who con't find ony woy to keep their bedroom orderly, seem ro keep their lockers free of ony books or papers. Since if is nearly impossible ro survive the school yeor without o locker, we must learn to live with these monsters. In order to moke the opening of rhe locker less painful ond time consuming, we learn little secrets to open them. These may include o swift kick in the right ploce or o Fonzie” punch next to the lock. A locker becomes more rhon just o ploce to store books, lunch, jacket, ond other possesions. A locker becomes the student's little port of o big school, therefore becoming rhe lost bastion of soniry for those of us tripping near the edge Firsr Doy ot School 17
