x'Typical mmm. WhaT an inTeresTing person you say. You mighT Think he is The school brain wiTh all Those books. AfTer all, how many people ThaT make A's carry much less Than ThaT? ThaT looks really sfudious. BuT he's noT. His pencil lacks a lead poinT necessary for making Those A's. And The TrusTy calculaTor'? The lasT Time iT was used he make a hundred on his Algebra ll TesT and ThaT was because he 'idouble-checked his answers. The school jock you say? He could fiT The descripfion wiTh The T-shirT and Converse Tennis shoes. And look aT Those musclesl lf everyone sprinTed To The door aT The sound of The bell every class period like he does, The word faT would be abolished from The English language. He runs so many errands a day he can'T even keep his shoes Tiedl ThaT obviously keeps him in shape. BuT he's lacking a numbered jersey, a Nike duffel bag, and somehow he's carrying Too many books To look aThleTic. ForgeT The school jock idea. lvlr. School SpiriT'? lT's possible. The Garinger painTer's cap, The WildcaT shirT, and an array of pins. The one on The kneecap, ThaT's original. You should see him aT The gamesl Tacky Takes on a new meaning when This guy shows up. lT's like he never knew colors besides blue and gray exisTed. His face isn'T blue because iT's sad. lT's because of his school spiriT so we can'T really rule ThaT one ouT. BuT whaT abouT all These oTher-TraiTs? Who is This guy? Well, wheTher you know iT or noT, you could probably be lisTed wiThin his ranks. He's none oTher Than The Typical sTudenT. There are oTher imporTanT TraiTs of his makeup also. Take The porTable headseT. lT's a necessary parT of his day, puTTing him To sleep during classes noT needed To pass for graduaTion. Along wiTh ThaT you'll find darkly TinTed shades To keep The flourescenT lighT ouT of his eyes and comforTable cloThing. Whose pajamas could be any more comforTable Than This? When waTching his Timex, his eyes Take more of a licking Than The waTch ever would because They sTay glued To iT for abouT The lasT 45 minuTes of class. He jusT can'T waiT To sprinTl LasT buT hardly leasT, ThaT ever imporTanT seT of car keys. He siays prepared To igniTe The car in case of emergencies such as second period hunger pangs or The NCAA championship playoffs. The Typical sTudenT is noT hard To spoT. BuT each is definiTely an original. 42fCampus Life STudenT Thanks To Todd Webber

es, that's rightl She told you it was due todayl And with a pointed finger she's going to tell you so. The typical teacher isn't going to pass you either. YOU are going to pass yourself. She's just going to make it easier or harder for you. A stack of books and graded papers smother her desk daily and she is the only human being alive able to make heads or tails of it. Sometimes even she is unable to do so. Nevertheless she is well prepared and organized whether it looks like it or not. Pencils are kept handy at all times and with the mess on that desk, how could she have left a thing at home? Chalk stains are prominent on her clothing but that is the least of her worries. In her cheery attire she greets you with a twinkling eye ready to get under way with her teachings. She may be at her wits end but oh, is she ever so good at hiding it. That is if you're not in her seventh period class. If she's going to get it out of her system, that seems to be her favorite time of day and only the lucky have an early release schedule. Her fangs and horns grow every period and by the end of the day she appears not quite as organized. Don't be fooled! She's already planned tomorrow's assignmentsl The only thing you might guess that would top her off as totally and absolutely typical appears to be missing. But again - don't be fooledl A shiny red apple brought in daily by the class pet just might be somewhere beneath that mass of intellectual rubbish. Campus Lifef13
