Fire drills, pep rallies, substitute teachers give A break in the routine nlike Garfield, whose Mon- days are always to be dread- ed. Students here have Mon- days to provide a break in the daily rou- tine. A student prayer and the Pledge of Allegience knocks students into the reality that there is a new school week before them. During most of the week, students find themselves keeping the same routine. Lunch and concession breaks even con- tribute to the routine as they provide a time for students to relax and visit with friends. Following the opening weeks of school when reports and forms had to be com- pleted daily, students and teachers alike 14lRoutines seemed to settle into standard approach- es to their tasks. For those involved in preparing for upcoming events, staying after school for rehearsals and drills be- came a second-nature. Many teachers tried to escape the mo- notony of observing the same rituals in the same manner daily. However, some routines such as checking roll prior to beginning class. Lesson plans created well in advance often give sufficient time to prepare for an out of the ordin- ary classroom experience. Routines are not always followed, how- ever, sometimes to the delight and other times to the dismav of students. Exams contribute to the dismay, while speakers from colleges and universities are wel- come interruptions. Ending the week during the fall gives a break in routine as both lunch shifts combine so that students may attend the pep rally and then visit with friends. The on-again, off-again silence and low roaring of the air conditioning and heat- ing blowers form another familiar rou- tine as students are stunned by the lack of the constant sounds to muffle those they create. A fire drill, an unexpected assembly, a scheduled visit to the library, or a substitute teacher may not be all that exciting, but they definitely are not the normal routine.
