Puzz e Pieces Lisa Berry a kditor The cycle seems endless: getting up early, going to school, going to work or play, finally getting home, then going to bed late, knowing it would all begin again too soon! Some adults think teenagers have boundless ener- gy that keeps them going. Sometimes organization is the key to a busy schedule. My mind is so jumbled up that I have to write ev- erything down. If l don't have a list, l'd just sit and watch T.V. all night. My incentive is getting all the things on the list marked off, Shannon Warner said. Even the lists of the most organized people could not include everything. It is impossible to schedule those sudden inspirations and the temporary fits of in- sanity that result from burnout or lack of sleep. But those are the moment that piece together the events of a typical day. The Mini-Magazine section is devoted to captur- ing those bits and pieces of high school life that will long be remember because the ordinary moments of today are the 'fl remember when statements of to- morrow. 96 Mini Mag

Return of the Nomad Laura Miller Staff Trying to get through the halls to get to your locker can be a feat in it- self. A suit of armor would be helpful just to get through the crowds around your locker. Some people have re- sorted to carrying their life on their backs. Living like nomads does not seem to bother most of these peo- ple. They say it's a lot sim- pler than being a barbarian just to get to their lockers. It really doesn't bother me to carry my backpack. It is a lot easier and faster than using a locker, Mar- nie Davison said. Some even go as far as carrying actual suitcases to school. Whether they re- ally carry clothing or just have a lot of work is still an unanswered question. I saw this guy dragging a suitcase down the hall by the luggage handle one day. I didn't know wheth- er he was moving out or if he was in AP English, , 'tefef it Kriston Milligan said. By carrying all your things around with you in a bag, you never have to worry about getting the wrong book or forgetting to bring your folder. Since I started carrying a backpack, I've decreased my tardies and raised my grades by always having my materials, Mike Lang- ford said. Perhaps this is a new kind of nomadic people.

For seven days students all across Little Rock were faced with these words. For the first few days, many were pleased to sleep in or go out and play in the snow, but then, boredom set in. The time had come when students were ready to go back to school before the school board allowed. At first I really enjoyed being out of school but then the days began to get longer and longer and for the first time in my life I was more than ready to go back to school, Gary Thompson said. SX Lang Kirshberger looks for a book dur- ' ing A.P. English. With so many books, he finds this easier than 25 trips to a locker. FSVGI' Others realized that summer vacation was the real reason people go to school. When we were out for l the snow it made me real-I ize that I was more than ready for summer vaca-j tion, Kasonia Browning said. The snow caused a lot of . problems for relation-I ships. Parents getting on kid's nerves jand possibly vice versaj were common situations, but many par- ents were concernedl about letting their kids I out in the freezing weath-l er. In so many houses - over my dead body was the popular response to questions of Can I go . .? . Most people definite- ly caught cabin fever.
