Y f- . lassroom boredom: the epitome of all fms- tration. Now that the clock was looked at for the fifth time in two minutes, it was time to consider desktime entertainment. The issue was classroom boredom and what could be done to keep from falling asleep. Because the polls were in and there were about 154 holes in one tileon the ceiling, and four pieces of gum under each desktop, it was time to begin another worthwhile project. Like most students, sophomore Lainy Dickson wrote a letter or drew pictures. I usually just kind of sit there. However, sitting there ended in a rolling eye motion, a dropping of the head, and finally, a sudden jerk to prop the head back again. Most students agreed that anything was more inter- esting than paying attention. Gary Buck, a freshman, said, I like to talk to my friends and read anything that is not required. Senior Chris Beeny would take out a piece of paper and draw pictures of the teachers. lt was a great way to get back at them for all those terrible test scores and homework. Passing the time was not an easy taskg in some cases students had to resort to actually learning something, but that happened only in extreme cases. Freshman Josh Elson always had stimulating ideas to keep him' self entertained. I sing to myself aloud. I doodle on my book. I shoot spitwads at the blackboard to see if they will stick. It was all in a day's work. by Stephanie Bente V u 5. YNY .f . -, f H? Seniors ii ' hi! If f If , , N I. ...ft I I I Q mite if - s A tl-i I . , iv 1. 1 Mfg 2,1 ,,, W irror, mirror on the wall . . .

a '77Zafze .f othing was more of a turn-off to some stu- dents than the thought of education after high school. Just the thought of more school often brought forth long agonizing moans of Nooo way! Many headed for technical schools and the armed forces instead of college. Senior Mike Parker comment- ed, Not only do l not like school at all, even the army's food is a whole lot better! These people believed that college would not offer what they wanted, which was to immediately begin their career doing whatever they loved doing most. Freshman Nicole Johnson commented, l'm going to be a beautician - something with hair. Some people were unsure of their future plans. Freshman Eric Collins remarked, I like to draw, so l'll first try the cartooning business, comic strips and fun- nies. lf that doesn't work, then l'll go to college. On the other hand, the confident ones knew exactly where they were headed. Senior David Hagopian, for instance, described his future as: l am looking toward a very successful career as a car salesman, preferably for Porsche! But ultimately, l hope to become a 560,000 yearly income man by owning a custom car shop. The idea of college seemed to dampen some people's dreams. Some prospective goals were like those of senior Matt Hollander who said, l'm just going get some money and travel. While some people labored for their finances, stu- dents like junior Liz Marrero had a head start. My grandparents have a lot of money. With some of that, l can see all of Europe. Another option for non-collegiate students was to form rock bands. Sophomore Ricky Orcutt remarked, I want to start my own rock band - not so much as for money than just to be good! With initiative and determination, these and others could succeed in life. To their relief, there were many possibilities for one to experience the good life without college and any further loss of sleep, cerebral fluid, andfor the critical years as a teen. Freshman Brian Rouse who found school a headache, best summed up college as a big hassle and that after high school he would rather just, go to the beach! by Shwan Kim Ani Daraledjian Kimherbf Darnell Kelly Darrow Holly Darwicle Alexander Davzzl Mirlaelle De Soto Shawna DeCl9ar1Z Matthew Delaney Maral Demirjian Mireille Derznu 2 Seniors
