No matter how much some things change One thing that never changes is The Student Scene Although the trend was to do things different, many days were the Same as they always have been. As long as there are students, some things will never change. By 8:30 a.m. Students have been fil- ing into the cafeteria for about thirty minutes. The bell rings and they are off! The calm, quiet halls are filled with students often ambling to their lockers, dodging each other as they went their Way [to a first period class. From first period until lunch they take their Seats in different Class- rooms. Some classrooms will be in a State Of mass confusion while other Will be filled with students eager to get down to business or stay awake. 16 — STUDENT SCENES Later, lunch time arrives. Finally, everyone seems to be wide awake as they race to the cafeteria hoping to get a good place in line or a seat with friends. After lunch students seem more at ease with a full Stomach and dreams of 3 p.m. in their minds. At the magic hour of 3 p.m. it is time not for ambling, but for flying through the halls, grabbing books from lockers and bursting through the doors to meet the outside world. By 3:15 p.m. the halls are again quiet. An air of peace settles over the school until tomorrow when the wonderful students arrive and the place is again alive. Tina Steele and Carrie Wells found a few extra minutes in gym Class to listen to a funny story from Dawn Kirk. Chris Buchholz spent his lunch period selling tickets to a dance sponsored by the Staunton Youth Commission. The dance featuring “The Findells” was held October 22. Class time could leave a person feeling drained in need of some free time for rest. After leaving class only 5 minutes were left for Laura Mueller to make her way to the next Class.
