Lockers A Special Combination Totally Trashed or Squeaky Clean What do schoolpapers, old notes, and squished lunches have in common? They can all be found in lockers. This was the second year that we were able to use “real live lockers”, and for some it was a “real live horror!” Jennifer Smith could be seen kneeling at her bottom locker or- ganizing her paraphernalia, while dodging falling Algebra and History books from above. On some mornings, the sounds of frantic students could be heard, when everyone’s locker Taking advantage of their senior privilege of staying in their homeroom during break, Ed Hinson and Billy Blilch wait until the halls are less crowded to get their books. After lunch, Daniel Mitchell gets an early start on getting his books, to avoid being tardy for fifth period. was locked, and no one knew their combination. Some thought that it was a waste of time to even lock their locks, “who would want to steal schoolbooks?” There were a wide variety of locker personalities. Kathy Dowling kept hers decorated with “the hunk of the week”, while others stuck their’s with “smiley faces.” Still others had football helmets,basketballs, or cheerleading megaphones taped to the fronts. There were some packrats who never cleaned their lock- ers. Drake Flournoy’s, Kevin Reynold’s, and Trey Fletcher’s each took on a life of its own. Papers could be seen slowly creeping out. There were a few exceptions who did keep their lockers look- ing very tidy. Ben Lindquist kept his spotless, while Rachel Romeiko organized hers accord- ing to classes. It didn’t matter what your lock- er looked like. What mattered was whether Mrs. Bassett found “stuff” on top of, or on the side of, the gray monster. Recovering items was always met with a lec- ture. One thing was certain ,it was yours for the year, and that was that! Lockers 25

When School is Out Summer Spells .. . adventure For most students and teachers alike the word “summer” con- jured up pictures of days loung- ing in the sun at the beach, free nights without homework or pa- pers to grade, and a chance to earn some money with a summer job. But for others it meant that a dream would become a reality. Mrs. Bassett’s dream came true when she and her daughter went to Hawaii on their dream vaca- tion. She took hula lessons, picked “boxes’’ of pineapple, found a pearl in an oyster, went on a dinner cruise, and even tried some raw fish. What she enjoyed the most however was the danc- ing and the music. With so many races and cultures Hawaii “truly is a melting pot.” Coach Wilder dreamed of the adventures the Appala- chian Trail offered. He hiked one hundred and ten miles of the trail “because of the chal- lenge.” His original goal was two hundred miles but he says, I got lonely. It was like going back in time to the frontier.” While Coach Wilder enjoyed the adventures of the outdoors, several students enjoyed the adventures of traveling abroad in Europe with Mrs. Lasseter and Mrs. Woodward. They vis- ited Paris, Amsterdam, Swit- zerland, and Germany. While eating European food was a treat, Me Donald’s still re- mained the all time favorite. “We were so sick of bread and rolls after the trip; every day we ate bread!” The American girls made a big impression on the Frenchmen while taking a boat ride through France. But, no va- cation is complete without some- thing going wrong; like the time they were almost left on the train, and in an effort to get off quickly, threw their luggage out the win- dows, using the excuse that someone was hurt to stop the train. Each vacation fulfilled a fan- tasy as well as educating each person. By experiencing other lifestyles and learning things about themselves students and teachers make the special blend that makes Munroe so unique.
