——— Angela Eaton and Raymond Davis will remember CHS fondly for the friendships shared. Growing pains can be physical as well as mental; just ask Kacy McCrary, she knows as she receives some pep talk from Chris Dunn and Johnny Burrel before Physics class. Kimberly Randall, April Woolfolk, and Mia Andrews take some time to chat.

GROWING PAINS art Teenage years appear most painful s time passes and Av: reflect upon our high school years, we smile and remember all of our good times. But as with anything else, we never stay the same. In our forty years at Central High School, we watch friends grow and friend- ships change; some become stronger while others simply fall apart. Sometimes we change so much that, at moments, we forget who we really are. So many things happen to us we wonder if we’re growing up too fast — or maybe if we're growing up at all. It's so hard for us be- cause we don’t know just how to act. Our parents want to coddle us, pro- tecting their children for- ever, but we’re dying to jump out on our own, standing on our own two feet and independent. Sometimes we wonder if there will ever be a day without the typical par- ent-teenage argument. We feel alone and de- pressed considering how much our parents care. Then, we all have our moments when we could just kill our best friends, or maybe even our boy- friend girlfriend. The pain can seem Over- whelming. We hate our friends for hurting us and our loved ones for be- traying our trust. Let’s not for- get about school. The Striving for good grades, making a cer- tain team, or pleasing our parents’ with achievements can be so frus- trating that we stop and think, ‘‘What’s life really all about?”’ When our years are completed and high school times are gone, we look back smiling re- alizing our pain is all about of growing up. Shawna Clendening and Sarah Hiscox prepare for fourth period’s quiz du ring their lunch break. Reviewing for 5th period’s quiz, Shawna Clendening and Sarah Hiscox compare notes.

BEHIND THE WHEEL = Chuck Isenburg and Chris Strain stroll through the parking lot. One can't help but notice Paul Knight's car, as he found a way to personalize his Beetle. Students take responsibilities of driving o drive or not to T sive: that is the question most teen- agers ask their parents when school begins. Driv- ing and having an automo- bile is a ‘“‘must’’ for most students at Central. This year the most popular auto- mobiles are Mustangs, Jeeps, trucks, and many dif- ferent small cars. Derick Maddox's car is quite odd. He owns a little red Subaru. Looking at the outside of his car it’s just another car, but it’s quite different when you look inside. The whole interior consists of rubber skulls and fake cobwebs. He says, ‘There’s no other car at Central that’s as unique as mine!” For the first six weeks of school, our parking lots are completely full. Once those progress reports go out, it seems as if the parking lots thin out. The ones who lose their car for six weeks are given a choice; they may ei- ther ride the bus, walk to school, or catch a ride with a friend. Most of them would rather ride with a friend! One thing is for sure; stu- dents at Central have good taste in cars, ranging from ‘75 Mavericks to ‘86 Honda Preludes. Needless to say, even our cars have ap ‘peel”’.
