Brighten up Munchkins! Being short isn’t all bad Attention Munchkins! Are you constantly harassed by the taller world just because you happen to stand closer to the ground? Do you grit your teeth and smile a tight smile when someone pats you on the head and calls you Shorty'? Have you ever daydreamed of getting revenge on these people who insist that short people aren't good for anything? Wouldn't you just love the satis- faction of getting back at those who always have something cute to say? For instance, have you ever heard Mr. Hocott comment, No one ever asks a short person to change a light bulb! Fortunately, Brandon Barnard has discovered an advantage shorter people have, I can get through the halls faster because I fit through all the gaps. Lisa Lippard agreed with Brandon, but when she tried to think of more advantages, she finally gave up and replied, I don't think there are anymore! Al- though Lisa seemed to think there were no more advantages, Leith Blake, 5'0 , grinned and said, I never have to worry about being taller than my date! Sorry fellas, but that won't al- ways apply to you. An individual who wished to remain anonymous revealed, If I sit behind a taller person, it makes it easier to cheat because the teacher can't see me. But sometimes the person's so tall I can't see over his shoulder! So, Munchkins, brighten up! Maybe having the disadvantage of being short isn't such a disad- vantage after all. 32 Brighten up munchkins

Early morning perfection To get up and get ready for school in the mornings is no easy task. It would be easier if we could just jump out of bed and into our clothes and ever- ything fall into place, but to achieve the look we want takes time. Some students get up at the crack of dawn to allow them time to get ready. Bobbi Temple- man starts her day at 5:30. This allows her to listen to the radio before coming to school. It kinda eases my mind, she said. Maurie Gray doesn't need that much time. Setting her alarm for 6:40, Maurie has plenty of time to shower, dry her hair, put on make-up, then eat. To catch a few more ZZ's, some students think of ingenious ti- mesaving devices in their early morning routines. Bill Gifford dries his hair in front of the heater vent. It beats going to the trouble of plugging in the hair dryer, he said. Not to mention putting the hair dry- er back in its storage place, huh Bill? Sleep is so important to Stacey Kennedy that she waits until Kelly McCoy arrives to even get up. But that's not the usual. Most of us go through a lot of trouble to achieve early morning perfection because, as Tina Gar- rett said, I want to look good in front of my friends. Brigitte Oliver stares absently into the mirror and thinks Gosh, another day at BHS! Second period Geometry and Todd Tucker has yet to fully awaken from a hard night’s sleep.
