62 Crnsses The Name Says It All The Sophomore class has many unique qualities, one of which is their abundance of creative and unusual nicknames For example, Richard Tripp earned the name ‘‘Bump”’ from his early childhood. He was so bow- legged that he bumped into things all the time “‘Squeal’’ is the name John Burke received because of his high-pitched laugh. Car- los Hall is called ‘Killer’ be- cause “‘l killed every pet | ever got.”’ Bridget Smith was la- beled Frog after she took dance and was told that she jumped like one “Shrimp” is what LaFaye Ford was titled because of her height — or the lack of it. Lynette Smitherman is called Leota the Lizard, which she got from a friend; and Arthur McCray is called June Bug, because he played with one So, if a nickname shows the creativeness of a class, the sophomores’ name says it all: They’ve got MORE!

When asked why they found it so intriguing, mem- bers of the sophomore class shared some of their favorite places in the larg- est shopping office com- plex in the Southeast. Ky MacPherson named Diamond Jim’s and Taco Bell as some of his favorite spots. Betsy Weese prefers Doctor Pet. She said, 'l like to pet the cute and playful animals there.”’ ‘| love the Harliquen dolls in Kirklands’,’’ said Angie Bunn. Bill Wade mentioned the Banana Re- public as a favorite because he ‘likes the jeep in the window.”’ Wendy Booth finds The Mole Hole interesting, while Mike Swords said, ‘'l like all the food places in the Gal- leria. Melissa Payne en- joys shopping in Parisian’s. When asked why she re- plied, “My mom has a charge account there!’’ The Galleria may be just another shopping mall to some, but to the sopho- mores, the ‘fantasy has be- come a reality.” Benetta Harrison helps Mr. Ben Boak with the Homecoming pic- tures
