Never Too Short pair of eyes — peering, unblinking, curious. As you look down, unmoving. You stand up, but you see nothing. Suddenly, a tiny voice calls out, “Could you please put this up there for me? You have just encountered a Short Person. Short People. You know who they are. That poor student who has to jump to reach their locker. That girl in French who is always being teased. Don't they have problems! When you have a top locker and can't see the lock, you can get pretty ticked off! admitted Don Seymour. I'm not short anymore, though! STANDING TALL. Mike Breiux. sophomore, towers over Colleen Kingcry, senior, at the Homecoming dance. What about being kidded? How many people who are short have ever heard things like “Hey, why don't you stand up or you make a great armrest. I’m not that short, but they still bug me! com-plained Kim Perry. Freshman, Tim Ory even received several offers to be put into girls' purses and taken home. Short people arc constantly subjected to all those people who think they are short because they can't dunk a basketball into a ICY goal. They aren't short! A true short person can't dunk a shot into a trashcan. Short people are those lucky few who can't replace lab equipment and wear size 2 shoes. I'm short and proud of it! proclaimed Rosemary Emery. — CHOZEN Freshmen — 163

THE BOBSEY TWINS. Vic and Vince Salvador, juniors, arc hard to cell apart when they arc together. Family Ties 4 i - hilc not an enviable situa-I .1 tion, some students had the IrV' privilege of going to the same school as their mothers. No. these women weren't students, but teachers. Having become high school age. they now attended Mom's place of employment in pursuit of higher education. The mom tcachers saw obvious advantages to this. I know that my daughter. Kim. is receiving a good education, expressed Mrs. Donna Bell. 1 know all of her teachers. While she's here. I can also keep an eye on her. Agreed Kim Lewis, daughter. It's nice to have Mom around when 1 need her.” Others weren't in close contact with their family members, but were aware of their presence. I don't see my son. Jay. much during the day. explained Mrs. Arnold. but I know he is around. I also know that while he's here, he'll receive a good education. There were some disadvantages to having your mother at the same school. For one. she always knew when report cards came out. If you were trying to hide a D in Home F.c. until after the holidays, good luck. And as for misbehaving, it would be easier to smuggle refugees out of Cuba. There was no wild partying at school dances, or heated arguments with teachers, mom is watching. These weren't the only family ties in the school. There were many sets of brothers and sisters avoiding each other around school. These people, the lucky few. were fortunate enough to have a family member around. This proved the importance of family ties.—CHOZEN Freshmen — 1 65
