LIGHTS OUT ‘Hey Mom, why are you get- ting me up so early? You’re kid- ding — it couldn’t possibly be the first day of school!”’ Everything seemed different on the first day of school. There were new faces, new teachers, a new principal, — even the paint looked new. Confusion ac- companied students as a power outage made it harder, if not im- possible, to find the right classes. After all, how easy was it to know when to change Classes in a pitch-black class- room without the basic benefits of lights or bells? After the lights came back and the electric clocks were cor- rected, students were able to get back to the grind of the day. Some discovered that they would have to sit through the same class again, as they had misread their schedule and ar- rived one period early for class. Others didn’t make such mis- takes, but were tardy to fifth pe- riod after being caught in the post-lunch ‘“‘rush-hour’’ traffic jam. Finally, after the end of sixth period, students were able to unjam their lockers, throw some books in, take some out, and ‘head for home. This presented another problem, namely finding the right bus in the line that stretched the whole length of the parking lot. The halls become crowded be- tween classes as the day gets under way. 12 First Day of School Lunch is a busy place on the first day of school. | OKAY, LISTEN UP FOR me, A FEW LUNCHROOM ANNOUNCEMENTS--
