Approximately an hour later they bundle up and venture out into the artic climate to fight with their cars or trudge to the bus stop and hop on the big yellow limousine.

Efficient and helpful student council members Leslie Quakenbush and Lisa Lajiness keep the line moving at the Munch Box. At 8:00 the tardy bell rings and the last stragglers hurry through the halls. Mr. Rogers can be seen stalking the halls prompting anybody remaining to get to class. Setting into the classroom atmosphere wasn't always easy, especially on Mondays and Fridays, but students managed. There were different activities to break the monotony of the classroom, and students and teachers combined to make the dull moments as few as possible. Second hour it was Mike Romick with the upcoming events and important information on the morning announcements and every Tuesday student council members came around with the homeroom reports. Lunch time could be spent in the lunchroom listening to the music, in the commons, or one could even leave for lunch, but time was the limiting factor. After lunch it was back to the classroom or over to ACDC for some students, and some were just returning from their morning at ACDC. The second half of the day usually went by pretty fast, and for many seniors 5th hour marked the conclusion of the day. Seniors could often be seen mulling around the halls or conversing in the library 6th hour. Finally at 2:30 the final bell rang, and school was out. 140 PHOTO STORY 1 Studious A.P.
