•t It’s just like any other day. — A typical VHS student Closing W hat doy is this?” I don ' t know — it ' s just like any other day.” This was o common conversa- tion. But this was the lost year for these typical days”, with next year ' s half-hour- per-day extension and a proposed addi- tional hour. Usually around 7:30 a.m., the majority of students began trickling in, unless they had early-morning athletic practice. Many students spent extra time before class studying in the Learning Center or the cafeteria, or talking with friends. I some- times study if I have to, or talk with peo- ple, said senior Julie Henderson. Although , six hours of classes claimed most of the day, students did relax during the five-minute passing periods and lunch. During the three 30 minute lunch breaks, students not only ate but socialized in the commons or bought items at the bookstore In a day’s life in on 2:30 or at bake sales. Students could not wan- der the halls because of increased class disruption. For the first time, hall monitors were stationed at the end of the commons. Finally, the bell! Students jammed the hallways as they struggled to get to their cars or catch the scholastic transit”. Except for homework, school was forgotten until the next day. For many students, however, the day didn ' t end at 2:30. Make-up work and class projects frequently kept students after school because technically the school day wasn ' t over until 3:30. Club meetings and sports practices often extended the day at least an hour. After school I go to Quiz Bowl practice or tennis practice during the tennis season, explained junior Titus Tan. While 177 of these any other days make up the year, they were unique in that they ' d never be the same. 16 Typical Day Feature SCHOOL IS OVER as junior Fred Schlundt, sophomore Heidi Zierz, and senior Peter Zierz prepare to leave — Pom Judson by a popular means of transportation.
