In Your Ear Repetition breeds familiarity, and with the growing number of Seaholm males with earrings these days, this sight is becoming commonplace. Years ago, it was rare to see a male with an earring, and if you did he was considered different and out of it. Now, having an earring is widely ac- cepted. Showing that there is no age restriction to males with earrings, there are two teachers here at Seaholm with earrings. Chemistry teacher Ernie Cooper and a new teacher this year, Jerry Wardach, each have a pierced ear. Mr. Wardach decided to pierce his ear when a couple of years ago 1 saw a guy with an earring, my girl- friend thought it would be sexy, and I wanted to be a little different — so I got one. A controversy has risen about males with earrings. This con- cerns the label attached to them depending upon whether they have their left ear pierced or their right ear. Boys with their right ear pierced supposedly have ques- tionable lifestyles or morals. And no one wants to be labelled questionable, now do they? Guys with their left ear pierced are considered the cool ones. The whole issue doesn ' t phase junior Christian Thompson too much, as he asserted, There are only a small handful of guys with their right ear pierced, but it shouldn ' t matter which ear you put it in as long as it ' s cool and you know it. Bearing his symbol of coolness, Chris- tian Thompson indicates by his facial expression his indifference toward the attention aroused by his earring. photo by K.

Hall ' Monsters ' They seem to be everywhere. Up and down every hallway, in the library, in the Commons, and wandering around outside. They are the Seaholm hall monitors. Convinced the students are up to no good, the monitors watch and wait for a student out of a classroom during class to intru- sively inquire, Where is your pass? To a student a pass in no way defines the validity or impor- tance of his journey through the halls, with or without a destina- tion. But the absence of a pass requires a lengthy true sounding explanation, or invites a detention which is no problem since every hall monitor comes complete with a stack of detention forms. A flaw in the system is found when a student is in the halls without a pass, but with a legiti- mate reason. This occurs when a student forgets to get a pass, a teacher forgets to write one out, or they both decide a pass isn ' t necessary if they hurry up. Those are the times a monitor will inevitably be just around the corner. If that is the case, some may slip by without a confronta- tion. A bad reputation causes suspicion and if the suspected offender is out of speaking range, yelling works but also breaks the quiet the monitors are there to maintain. Hall monitors might describe their job as making sure every student is in the right place . This obviously creates a conflict of definition. Most students ' idea of the right place isn ' t even near a school! UNDERCLASS 107
