But Those dingy lockers are so uglyi To solve this problem, many students Turned to decora- tions. The administrators said decorations were OK as long as they were remo- veable. Why was decorat- ing Their locker a must? Gina Shultz, sophmore, stated, l felt l needed to spice it up with some 'l-lot Bods'l Many students chose To put up pictures of their idea of The perfect man or woman, their fa- vorite group. or cute little furry Things, The most pop- ular choice of decoration was the mirror. Mark Kranzer, senior. finds his Cliffs Notes for Canterbury Tales easier reading than the actual book. A mirror was a necessity because ofthe five minute passing periods. One could put on make-up, splash on some cologne, comb Their hair, or just make sure everything was in place. Because a locker was The closest Thing to private space at school, it was af- ten shared with a sibling. Sharing a locker with my younger brother was just like being aT home -- he was even a slob aT home, stated Joe Mosele on his brother, Andy. T'Locker hopping was a problem administrators ex- perienced. Even Though students were assigned to specific lockers, The temp- tation To move-in with a friend was too great. With all of school's con- fusions, a locker was a place where one could wallow for tive minutes amist their own personal- ized space. s Us C5242 Nofdl ma: we ofa Au6Ai'Z117ZZ.

Cliffs Notes are summaries and explanations of almost any book a high school stu- dent would have to read. Nearly five million copies of Cliffs Notes are sold a year. The Scarlet Letter, Mac- beth, and Huckleberry Finn each sold around 'l00,000 copies in 4984. Other best sellers include The Great Gatsby, 1984, Odyssey, and Julius Caesar. Teachers had different A2 Nlni lvlag ideas about Cliffs Notes. lvlr. Dave Konkol, English teach- er, explained, Cliffs Notes are a tool that all students ought to use. Since they are available to everyone, all students ought to use Them to get a better understand- ing of the books. As a stu- dent l used them, and they helped me get a clearer un- derstanding of some of the tougher books. Furthermore, Miss Jean Craig, English teacher, ex- plained, 'll don'T mind if a student uses Them to rein- force their knowledge, but if they use them as a substi- tute I find they are usually incomplete. The big problem with the Cliffs Notes was many stu- dents used them not as an aid but as an actual substi- tute for the book. The edi- tors at Cliffs Notes have been making it more difficult for students To use them as crutches, according to The May T985 issue of News- week on Campus. Now we assume that students have read the novel, said chief editor Gary Carey. lvlost students admit to us- ing Cliffs Notes as a substi- tute. Allison Goranson, soph- omore, stated, Sometimes it just takes too long To read those boring books, and Cliffs Notes have often been a great solution. On the other hand. Tammy Tyler, senior, used them as a help- er. Because l like English, l enjoyed reading the books so I didn'T use them as a sub- stitute but rather an aid. Such was the case when l had to read Grapes of Wrath, she said. Although there has been controversy on The issue of Cliffs Notes, they could be a helpful tool, as long as they were used correctly. After all, no matter how much they were forbidden they would always be used.
