gle: Whether it was hang- ing around in the quad, stud wall, or hanging out someplace during lunch . . . It didn ' t matter, because whenever students chose to hang-out, people accepted you for who you were not where you were, explained freshman, Melissa Weise. Senior Kandi Marshall commented, There was such a high population of students this year that no matter where you looked, you could find students ev- erywhere! Before school, after school, during passing period or even at lunchtime, I could spot tons of kids hanging out in all sorts of places. AUNTS STUDENTS GATHER With a group, there was a variety of attitudes and ideas. I liked to be with my friends as much as possible, and new friends were always welcome. It was nice to meet new people, replied Tim Threadgold, sopho- more. Some groups stuck to- gether all the time, while others grew continuously. Different groups of people did different things. Some groups went out to lunch or to other places while some groups stayed on campus. But wherever Arlington ' s students hung out, it gave them a good chance to spend time with their friends and socialize, that was the nice part of it. commented Jim Patterson, junior. by Stephanie Gordon ASSEMBLING, students flock to the senior quad. Although this area was labeled the senior quad , under- classmen also met friends here. PIZZA-ADDICTS, Aaron Lema and Kevin Neil frequently eat lunch at Round Table Pizza.

TUDENT STYLIST nip, snip go the scissors, as a clump of hair goes drifting to the floor . . . Just a little more off the top and some more off the sides. How much do I owe you? Just five bucks. Here ' s seven. Thanks Benjy. This a sound that is familiar to junior Benjy Loop. Benjy is an AHS student that cut the hair of his classmates and friends at prices much lower than the sa- lons. I like to go to Benjy, be- cause he doesn ' t charge me much and he cuts hair better than most professionals, com- mented junior Kim Mastain. Benjy ha s no formal training in hair styling, but does a good enough job to satisfy most of the people whose hair he cuts. Benjy cuts his friends hair the way they want it and the way he thinks it would look best on them. For the most part, they are satisfied, but not always. I remember one time I was cut- ting Don Southard ' s hair for him. I was shaving the back of his head and I fell forward and shaved off a little too much, added Benjy. Not only did Benjy cut hair for AHS students, he also cut hair for several people and their par- ents living in Hunnington Beach BENJY LOOP CUTS HAIR and thereabouts. I have some friends that live out there and cut their hair and sometimes even their parents, comment- ed Benjy. Benjy goes over to the peo- ple ' s homes whose hair is going to be cut. He usually charges five dollars, but sometimes cuts hair for free, If they give me a ride home or something like that I ' ll cut their hair for free, added Benjy. Although he sometimes cuts hair free, he has many ' clients ' . At first they come to me to see how I cut hair. They like it and keep coming back for more, concluded Benjy. SHAVING LINES in to the back of Steve Pennunuri ' s hair, Benjy ends his job. Steve has been coming to Benjy ever since he began cutting hair. I think he did a good job cutting my hair. He ' s a good friend and a great hair stylist. Kim Mastain, junior. BENJY LOOP 35 =
