Waiting can seem like an eternity, especial- ly when one is just about the last person on campus. Many students who had afternoon school activities, had to wait for parents to pick them up after work. Sometimes, it seemed like the waiting would never end. I really don ' t like waiting, said Scott Goebel, sophomore. I get bored and there ' s nothing to do. I don ' t have to wait often, but when I do, it ' s not fun, he said. Most students agree that waiting is both boring and uninteresting. Very few have patience with waiting. The most common things people hate waiting for Include parents, brothers and sisters, phone calls, dates and waiting in line. I really hate waiting for a telephone call, said Genevieve Huerta, junior. I hate to wait in line and I also hate for people to be late, said Vanessa Chacon, sophomore. I hate waiting for anything, said Zandra Buitron, junior.

Rene Munez, Molly Hoffman and Carol Hilscher take the advantage of the op- portunity to catch up on daily happenings. Waiting for the 8:20 a.m. bell to signal students that they may enter the buildings are Susie Flores and Frank Pulido.
