Interstate Hallways This is metro traffic control reporting from Winna- cunnet High School at 7:40 am. If you expect to get to class on time this morning, don't, for major jams have developed throughout the campus. A sulfur bomb ex- ploded in the front foyer earlier today. That area is closed for repairs and a detour has been established through Mr. Zito's room. Two enamoured sophomores have barricaded themselves in front of the library doors, causing a bit of a tie-up in that district. Unit sixteen has reported that the stairs near the faculty lounge and room 21 are backed up both north and southbound due to a small clique of junior girls chatting over the me- dian. Finally, a clumsy freshman has slowed traffic con- siderably by littering the floor with his books between the firedoors near the Math-English wing. No problems have been reported in the gym area so those who have first period phys. ed. should have no trouble getting to class. All other routes now have clear sailing as well. This is the metro control — have a good day.”

MONDAZE Good Monday Boston! It’s 6:15, time to wake up and rock with the J. Geils Band! Everyone knows the feeling, jolted out of a deep sleep (or perhaps an appetizing dream) by an overly cheerful radio personality who obviously has never felt the Monday morning blahs. The first glimpse of yourself in the mirror that morning makes you cringe — definitely too much partying and not enough sleep this weekend. That hair, those circles — quick! Get to a shower fast! School in this condition is no treat. All you want to do is sleep through homeroom but your neighbor, who only wants to talk about the latest love in her life, and friendly E. Hawley’s voice over the inter- com makes this virtually impossible. You proceed to your first class in search of peace, which is nowhere to be found. However, after being jostled through the halls by grinners, smilers, and laughers for three straight periods, your grim exterior begins to crack. The eyes shine, a kind word escapes your lips, a giggle erupts into laughter and, suddenly, Monday isn’t so bad. Just think, only four days till Friday!
