. Ai' II , 'X K HX l N5 W 0 Cul I E Seniors hy can't you be a little more respon- sible? Where have you been all night? This hurts me more than it hurts you but. . . Anyone who has lived with a parent has probably heard these expres- sions countless numbers of times. These are none other than the infamous sayings which parents have come to use in their daily vocabulary. Long hours on the phone, late returns home or even unconscious slips of the tongue often triggered these dreaded responses. l always knew when 'l told you so' was coming because my mom would get really quiet and call me by my first name, commented senior Kristy Kim. Besides being called by the first name, there were many other signs of an oncoming lecture. My mom would ask me real dumb and obvious questions. lt was like she wanted me to confess something, so I alway knew when to expect a lecture, stated senior Blanc Pelayo. These dreaded responses could be expected once week or whenever l did something wrong, as stated b junior Jin Park. However, sophomore Brian Kim added, My parent just say these things to help us so l guess I shouldn complain. Overall, these dreaded sayings are, according t sophomore Laura Dellacort, a real pain in the neck t hear but tolerable since they were supposedly for oi. own good. by Angela Le il ' shew ,E gt - 'Q 1 -f '2'f.3.gxg,' S' hm., W f .f.-,,, gain, Dad?

gy Me s the exhausted pupil pulled into the drive- way, he saw the mailman once again hav- ing great difficulty attempting to close the mailbox. Relieved to see him drive up, the mailman waved and continued his route up the street, Disappointed that he didn't beat the mail home, the student trudged to the box and began to tug at the many letters crammed into the small cubicle. Of course he didn't open any of the letters. He passed that stage months ago, when the loads were lighter. He simply abandoned the mass of envelopes in the living room until he regained the energy to carry them up the stairs into his room. There it sat with the other four stacks of unopened viewbooks, applications, and cata- logs from what he assumed was every college, universi- ty, and educational institution in the Western Hemi- sphere. How did he get to this stage? What events created the fortress in his room that his mother declared a fire hazard? As he reflected, he vaguely recalled the PSAT he took as a junior, and the box he filled in that said Student Search . lt started out innocently enough, just one or two envelopes a week, then some time passed, and he stopped receiving information. Worried that they were no longer interested, he sent a few of the business reply cards in, and after a couple weeks passed, the steady flow resumed. This interesting phenomenon occurred in the lives of many juniors and most seniors. They just came in by the cartful, stated Brian Zachary, of all the mail he faced. For the few who read the many brochures, mixed reactions surfaced. Fabian Kralian said, They try to be as personal as possible. They use your name in the letters, and try to appeal to your interests. lt's hard, though, because there's something good about each one, it's so tempting! However, Lina Melconian felt differently, I hate it! They're all the same thing, very impersonal. Regardless of students' attitude toward the mass piles of information they received, they couldn't deny the feeling of flattery they experienced with the first few letters. Besides, paper was always recyclable! by Elizabeth Ahten 2 Seniors Franz Leforextier Gordon Lenezrtla jezmer Lewzr Steven Lawn Bzeplyen Lzgbllaourne Heather Lindrtrom Steven Linkfloorrl Scott Lzprcomb Tbomaf Lzpton P1911 Lzomgrton
