Against instinct and common sense, students faced Mornings At 7:30 The alarm Clock rang, shattering the silence of the room. He rolled over and read the clock e 5:30 a.m. Slamming his hand on the snooze button, he kept thinking .,. just five more minutes. He felt like he needed five more hours, not just minutes. He couldn't think of anything worse than getting up in the morning. This was the first year that Rogers opened at the crack of dawn, and many students had a difficult time adjusting. In order to be in class by 7:30 each morning, many students had to get up as early as 5:30 just to get ready. Many tactics were used to get up, and stay awake in these wee hours of the morning. For some, the clock radio on volume 10 did the trick; others needed a couple of cups of coffee. Those who really had trouble getting out of bed in the morning had to resort to a cold shower and breaking out the Coast deodorant soap, the eye opener. Many mothers and fathers had to get up to scream at the kids. These tactics were successful. After completely convincing themselves that they were awake, students went on with serious business. After a nice long shower, the hair had to be dried. After a nice long shower, the hair had to be dried. After this, girls still had to apply make-up and curl what to wear. After this was all completed, it was time to do the rest of the homework, while concentrating on the gourmet breakfast consisting of cold pizza and a glass of Coke. Many students didn't have time for breakfast, which benefited the French Club donut sales. Eventually, some students and teachers got use to driving into school at sunrise. In the long run, all deserved a pat on the back for facing those dreaded mornings at 7:30. -Janelle Jones 5 U '2 ClHYCourls : Following Coach Fischer's orders, Justo Samalio, with tennis shoe at hand, is ready for an early morning jog.
