cnjn CLI iu 1 Lockers: A Place for Your “Stuff People who run high schools are smart enough to know that every stu- dent needs a designated space to put his or her stuff. Stuff” includes just about everything a person can man-handle into the small confines of a locker. Imete American Studies students angrily proc- laim that John Garrity’s The American Nation” is not to be classified as stuff. ” Don't tell the slobs that only a limited amount of stuff can be crammed into a locker. Slobs start putting stuff in their lockers on the first day of school. Stuff keeps going in until Christmas vacation, but stuff is never taken out. One day a slob must take a test during his lunch mod. so he doesn't eat. Quickly a bunch of old Physics labs cover the forgotten lunch bag in his locker. The banana within begins it's decomposition and soon the locker has a faint odor. Unfortunately the forgotten lunch also contained an egg-salad sandwich. When the slob must clean out his locker he realizes why his gym clothes smell funny and his papers are all sticky. He is also happy to find that pair of socks that he played basketball in after school in some months ago. Fortunately not all the lockers are in- habited by slobs. Some people actually make an attempt to keep their lockers clean. These are people who can’t afford to lose important tests and notes. They try to regulate only paper products to their lockers.

After a disappointing loss the locker's job is to make loud crashing noises as the jock kicks or slams it. Because of this, a jock's locker is usually in bad shape. Burn-outs have distinctive lockers too. These are void of all texts, note- books. and papers. Only the tools of the trade are contained. At first, a locker seemed an exciting and very intimate possession. But after two calculators are stolen from it and an arsonist victimizes all the pictures you've taped on it, you will probably change your mind. It is about this time that you start dreaming about the next space to put your stuff”; a college dorm. Next to a whole room, a locker looks sort of puny in comparison. shampoo, broken shoelaces, and adhe- sive tape stolen from the coach's first aid kit. A jock's locker’s main function is not to contain his clothing but to act as 10 Lockers Upper Left — Neat but stuffy Upper Right — Suspicious looking characters.
