The 20 By Elena Moore All is silent throughout the empty halls of Saddleback High School. Students are di- ligently working in their classrooms while an aura of serenity permeates the cam- pus. The security guards are silently walking their beat awaiting the bell which sig- nals them to begin work. R-iii-nnn-gg!, the bell rings and, like a bolt of lightning, students of all species and grade levels pour out of classrooms in a huge stam- pede for their lockers! Sen- iors, being the animals that th ey are, push their way through the crowd knocking innocent freshmen as they go. Juniors, following the seniors ' example, knock down any of the remaining freshmen. Sophomores, having one year of exper- ience under their belts, man- age to escape the deadly de- molitions in time. Couples become separat- ed. Friends are lost. Thou- sands of conversations clus- ter in the air, disturbing the halls ' once peaceful solitude. Hold your breath only four more minutes to go. Bang! A bell rings. Doors slam. A few tardies race down the hall. Footsteps fade into the re- turning calm. Ah! The halls let out a sigh of relief. The lockers recover their uni- formity and shape. Thus, ends a typical passing period here at Saddleback High School. R-iii-nnn-gg!

Test tomorrow, says the teacher. I hear the same two words from my first and sec- ond period teachers. In third period, my one hundred points project is due. In addi- tion to that, I have to prepare a speech. How will I get all my homework done and still be able to get up tomorrow at 5:30 for ' 0 ' period? I seem to be getting nowhere. I start to run and then . . . I hear Mom ' s voice saying, Get up! Already?, I moan. For many students, get- ting up in the morning is the worst part of the day. Setting the alarm is a futile effort to awaken your body. When the alarm rings, everyone in the household is shocked by the blaring noise except you. Your mind simply refuses to acknowledge such an annoy- ance. If you are involved in ♦ A Conquering the A.M. syn- drome, senior Tony Brock hurriedly finishes his homework before class. Every morning, sleepy-eyed stu- dents can be found in the library studying. Julia Hollins would rather catch some sleep that she missed the night before than do strenuous ex- ercise.

I wake up at 5:00 every morning because I go to an early morning seminar that starts at 6:00 before I come to school for zero period English, says Kristen Cook, junior. I usually get to bed late, she added, and it be- comes hard to wake up in the morning. The task of getting your body in motion and your brain functioning properly is faced by all students who can relate to the early morn- ing dilema. V 22 A.M. means Almost Moving
