For Students

Lockers Can

Be A Hassle I

School was frustrating enough with
demanding teachers, deadlines, and a
never-ending pile of homework. Having
lockers just added to the general cha-
os and confusion of the day. The con-
cept behind having lockers was good
in theory, but there were a few prob-
lems.
It all started the first day of school
when teachers handed out schedules
and locker cards. It took a day to find
the locker that matched the number
on the card and the rest of the week
to get it open with the help of the jani-
tor.
Things seemed fine until a week
later with a few seconds left to the tar-
dy bell. After trying the combination six
different times. alternating kicking and
punching the orange metal between
tries, students usually realized they
were trying to open the one next to
theirs. Was this a stupid mistake? After
all, lockers were the same color, shape,
size. and make.
Many people wondered who the
genius was that designeo corner lock-
ers . These were for those who longed
for adventure. It was a challenge get-
ting both to and from the corner locker
between each class . The majority of
students that had corner lockers gave
up before second semester and shared
with a friend.
Although lockers didn't open all
the time, it would have been even
more difficult without them at all . Lock-
ers served a purpose and they did
work the majority of time. _/
