Hanging out may take various forms — from finding a quiet
nook to prepare for an AP European History test, to playing
chess at the desks by the gym, to having a short conversation
in front of the guidance office. This of course applies only to
those lucky enough to be upperclassmen. Freshmen and Soph­
omores must content themselves with occupying as best as
they are able — passing time.
While passing time is supposed to get the student from one
room to the next, it is frequently used to plan the weekend,
who’s going to the basketball game, or to discuss the latest
news from North Syracuse.
When the weather turns warm, however, the halls empty out
in favor of several outside activities. Primary among these are
handball and sunbathing. Other important outdoor activities
include basketball in the parking lot and frisbee.
Hanging out declines in importance after January as the
Seniors leave after their last class. Yet the social aspect of
hanging out continues as students seek to make the time be­
tween classes move quickly. This time honored tradition helps
make the school day a bit less painful.
Tom Sommers does his imper­ sonation of E.T. and phones home.
Junior Shannon Coleman
takes time out to refuel after the morning's classes.
Dave Shanahan traps Mrs. Borning in the halls to get his Math questions answrered.
