Weequahic’s halls arc made up of two contrasting phases. At 7:45 one can only sec the droopy-eyed yet ambitious students stumbling along to see Mr. LaPenna before the rush of fellow college-bound friends, a coma-ridden detention room, the student who came early to explain to his English teacher that he didn’t deserve the D’ and anyway, she’s keeping him off the honor-roll . . . and the scattering of teachers lining up in the office to sign the register. From 8:15 to 8:27 the majority of the still sleepy throng of adolescents files up the too narrow stairways, creating a mob of chaos and confusion. Locker combinations are spun and curses muttered when the doors refuse to open. After a few solid kicks, the doors reluctantly open and the sloppily-stacked books slide out onto the floor, creating confusion and embarrassment. Most students learn the number of their homeroom from constant repetition, from filling out forms and paper headings; but it is by pure instinct alone that they find themselves approaching the right room and enter ng it, hopefully, before the tardy bell. The drowsy student, once across the threshold, is in a literal haven — safe from the shuffling feet and unknown faces, the banging lockers, the teacher on hall patrol. He may be greeted by fellow class-mates or pass to his seat unnoticed, but slowly the homeroom atmosphere envelopes him. For ten minutes the patrol teachers dominate the halls, and although homeroom classes may be bursting with noise, the corridors are as quiet and inactive as in the pre-8:00 stillness. 4

The temptation to turn over and escape back into unconsciousness is all but overwhelming, and sometimes the student succumbs. But, once he has wrenched himself awake and is, somewhat dizzily, out of bed, the daily routine has commenced. Go to bathroom, brush teeth, wash face, comb hair, get dressed, drink some orange juice, grab books, gulp some coffee, find coat, and then, get out! Lonely-looking students standing on street corners are joined by their comrades for the ritualized trudge to school; every day they follow the same route. As the various groups near Weequahic, they converge into a steady flow of groggy humanity and enter the building. Somewhat later, after the flow has abated, stragglers may be seen as they sprint that last block to school. Then all is quiet. The school day has begun.
