ENCOUNTER Mr Robert Denoquoio « not pleased with Junior Tom Rufo who is late GIVE ME TEN: Gerrard Thurrott, Mr Charles Deschaine. and Scott De Ruiter observe Kurt Fauerbach paying the penalty for being late to class STAY OUT Senior Janet Goodkm is kept out of class by Miss Sedlack It happens seven times every school day. It requires athletic finesse, superior timing and the skilled use of blockers. You get a scant four minutes to move from one class to another and. the way you manage your social life, that four minutes becomes a grueling test of your drive and determination. Even before one class is over you poise yourself at the line of scrimmage (the doorway), waiting for the snap of the bell. Ring! You dash into the halls but fumble the ball (your books) as your opposition (the rest of the school) and you collide head on. With three minutes remaining you retrieve the ball and go with the crowd heading in your direction. Bodies crunch against bodies. You plunge through a hole and make it down to the first floor. Red Rover Right, on three” manages to get you half way to class. You pause at your locker with two minutes and 15 seconds remaining Precious seconds tick as you spin your combination and open the locker door. Books slam against metal; you grab new ones while telling your neighbor the joke about the JAP and the computer, and again you’re off. 1:04 remaining. LOVE ON THE RUN Sprinting in the direction of biology. you notice the girl you like this week, and actually manage a meaningful conversation for seven seconds. (Hi Sue. what's up?” “Not much. See you later.”) 0:32 reamining. you cut left, hugging the sideline (a row of green lockers) toward the end-zone (Mr. Anderson’s room). The clock shows three seconds remaining as you cross the goal line. As you take your seat, the bell is ringing and you’re getting the glares from you know who. Are there alternatives to this dash for class, an exercise which requires more energy than The Curley Shuffle” played allegro et presto? Senior Barbara Gold’s attitude might be the healthiest one: It doesn’t bother me. I walk into class whenver I want. If that’s not your style, perhaps we could get the administration to legislate a five minute passing period resulting in dismissal at 2:30. Would students buy it? I’m indifferent.” revealed Eileen Kozonasky. Actually. I like to get out of this place as soon as possible.” Steve Kleinberg on the other hand thinks It would be a good idea, but they (the administration) would never pass it It would be too much paper work. An alternative is to accept the fact that lateness comes with the territory and. if you are late, gracefully accept a detention, a zero or the penalty Mr. Bill Stearns likes to inflict: 25 pushups. — Mike Kaplan Student Life 27
