TAMMY, A HAM! Timmy Perry, senior, was speechless when asked, Which is your good side? She couldn’t decide either. Hamming (Cont.) it. there are plenty of people who are secretly hams. When I'd see someone with a camera at school. I'd also notice a pack of kids trailing along behind. Some people will do about anything to get in a picture.” A ham's reaction at the sight of a Camera was an interesting phenomenon. The ham began to eye the photographer like a hungry wolf peering at a tender lamb. The way hams surrounded a camera to pose and strut was similar to the way a swarm of pirhanas attack a piece of flesh. They proceeded to act normal” — tall people standing in front of midgets, short people wrestling tall people to the ground, scuffling. kicking, soon a full scale riot would erupt. All in good fun. A smart photographer would pretend to take pictures and then slip away before the tear gas arrived. Whether it was the low-key ham with the friendly smiles and waves or the flamboyant ham jumping in front of the camera, anyone could be a ham. Whether goat-ropers, band jocks, phase-3 jocks, or jock-jocks — they shared a common quality — their addiction to hamming it up. — MARSHALL NUMBER ONE AGAIN!

Fun in the Sun Work os Well os Ploy m T o season gets as much of a reception as summer. In A honor of its appearance schools close, businesses shut their doors, and students car-jam their way to the Lake Charles beaches. It is common knowledge that all things take second priority to goofing off in the summer. The Lake Charles beaches look like they've been hit by a swarm of bathers. The only time you can catch a glimpse of the sand is before dawn and after dusk. Mark Bauer, Bethyn Dawson, and Cindy Bates, juniors, shed their Calvin Kleins and donned their Dauphins to join the pack at the beach. Summer wasn't always fun and games though, the fun was frequently interrupted with the other thing that comes with getting out of school. Chores — the parents' babysitter — was used to keep the kids from going out. The minute I got home from school on that last day, sighed Senior Paul Self, My mom had a mile-long list of things to do waiting for me. Senior Kelli Gregg grinned, Even though I had some chores to do they didn't stop me from going out and partying. From chores to loafing to fun, the summer was full of adventure and excitement. The season of relaxation and recuperation certainly lived up to its name. The word fantastic summed it up. SPI.ISH SPLASH. Senior. Bred Talc, hydroslidev on Lake Charles and makes a splash of waves.
