A typical student's day started with getting up, figuring out the late t fads and fashions-- who knows, it may have been Spirit Week- -then off to catch a ride to school. Once at school, the typical student might have gone to a locker, at in the cafeteria, or in the words of sophomore, Kimberly Bloink, "Walk around the Idiot Circle" until the bell rang at 7:42 am, when everyone rushed around to get to first hour. Then there was the blur that mo t people called a chool day-- which could al o have been a cia trip or a senior activity-- this usually lasted for six hours with a 30 minute break for lunch. During the lunch period most students, like junior, Christopher Piotter, "Ate as much as possible!" and ophomore Debra Kimmel said, "Talk, talk, talk!" until the bell rang. When the last bell rang at 2:50 pm, the student may have gone home and played with their Giga pet or talked with friend and family, or they may have gone to some after-school activity like the Homecoming game or dance or Prom or maybe on a date to a school play like Annie. o matter what they did, it was a definite fact that students were making lots of track and leaving their traces all across the hool.
