What's in a name? lt's a few minutes before eight on a typical morning at Washington-Lee. Groups of students stand around gos- siping. Looking down the hallways, one can see streamers and signs decorating the athletes' lockers. The lockers close with a bang as students rush to get to class, Student A: Better hurry up or you'll be late for class. Student B: Who cares if l'm late for homeroom? My homeroom teacher won't notice. Student A: Maybe not since you're not going to homeroom. Student B: l'm not going to homeroom, huh? Student A: Of course not. If this were last year you'd be going to ho- meroom, but it's this year so you're not. Student B: l'm not? Student A: No. Student B: lfrustratedl Then where am l going? Student A: Right now you're going to first period but if you want to know what happened to homeroom, you go there after first period but it's not homeroom. Student B: lt's not homeroom? Student A: No. Student B: Then what is it? Student A: lt's advisory period. l il t il Student B: What's an advisory period ? Student A: The same thing as homeroom but it doesnt happen as often. Student B: But you just said it wasn't homeroom. Student A: Well, it's just that you're not allowed to call it homeroom anymore 'cause it's called advisory period and you don't have a homeroom teacher, you have an ad- visor. But basically it's the same thing. lt's where you go to take care of all your business and stuff. As the two students talk, the hall is getting quiet and people are drifting into the rooms of their first period classes. Student B: Okay, so I have to go to first period. Oh, my God, that's at the other end of the school! See ya! The sound of clomping footsteps echoes down the hall. The bell rings as a rushing figure turns the corner. l l -pw Top: Steve Lane and Tom Estabrook have a rising discussion on the stairs before class. Bottom: It seems like Sharon Williams would like to go home but her overpowering subcon- scious suggests that she stay in school. 12 f
