Much to Mooch C o you have a black pen I can | borrow? Can I use some of m your graph paper? Let me have some gum. That was the standard rcportoire of the moochcr. Moochcrs. They were usually good, close friends who didn't hesitate to take advantage of another friend's generosity or good fortune. If I need anything from anyone I just ask,” Eric Tompson explained his fool-proof technique. And a smile gets a long way. And if even that doesn't work — I grab and run. The most notorious moochers who roamed the hallways in search of goods and services included the likes of Eric Thompson. Matt Beniot, Andre Abadie, Craig Richardson, Jeff Hamic, Kim Martin, Jan Gwatney, Kcri Forbcss, Denise Bridges. Bethyn Dawson, Bart Ezell. Gillis Morin, and Matt Wallace. They were the most famous, but anyone could plead guilty to an act of mooching at one time or another. Whether it was begging for a french fry or 25c or having a pencil sharpened, the ability to be a First-class moocher was in anyone's power. Hunger, it seemed, was a trait common to. and endured by all moochers. The sight of gum before lunch could spark off a small-scale riot in a previously tranquil classroom. Most people could afford to be generous to the starv-ing moocher. I don't mind lending things,” commented Bobby Bullard. I like to get what I lent back, but not when it comes to food. Then I just want to get a favor at a later time usually the next day. Steve Hooter had his own method of dealing with moochers. If someone wants something from me and I'm in a good mood, I'll say 'OK.' But. if I'm in a bad mood. I'll go. 'Here take it! Take it!'” No one loses either way. Breaux. David Breaux, Kevin Breaux.

Out of the Cocoon and Into a Butterfly three ... two ... one ... r zero. Blast off! Like a cork out of a shaken bottle, eightccn-ycar-olds everywhere leap head first into adulthood. With a skip in their step, the legals march with heads held high into long-forbidden places. But always keeping in mind that a little-discretion goes a long way. Getting a license at fifteen and R-rated movies at seventeen, it seems to take some of the punch away from the big 1-8. Even though, saying those two magical words I'm eighteen will get you farther than any license. Those words will also add more responsibility to your life. Boys become men as they register for the draft and girls mature into women as puppy love turns into a commitment. And all eighteen-year-olds get the right to use or abuse their voting privileges as they sec fit. After all the panics, turning eighteen turned out to be more than a big Celebration, explained Mike Gabbert. As the big day comes closer the hype builds and builds until it shadows the actual event. Larry Duchman confirms, Since the celebrating begins a week in advance of the birthday, it may pass without hardly a notice. Coming of age in today's society may be one of the hardest things we do in our lives. Maturity comes hard and fast for the young caterpillars of today. Watch out for dragonflies, . . . somebody's watching you. — CART EVERY BREATH YOU TAKE. Yearbook class gave Rhonda Gauihrcaux a surprise cake (o help celebrate her eighteenth birthday. Clarke.
