Evanitsky-Golden Parties keep people together Stick-pins, laundry detergent, knives hazardous to wasted Everyone likes to party especially me, Bill Strong, junior, said. To party meant to have a good time, no matter how many people were around or where they were. I like to go to a party, just to watch the other people make fools out of themselves, Veronica Kennedy, junior, said. Parties are the only thing going right now, Keith Patterson, junior, said. There was no lack of parties. Casino Beach and Marshall Creek were well known to fre- quent partiers, not to mention private parties. According to Bill, Haltom is noted for all the great partiers that go here. Students could tell any number of incidents, some funny, most otherwise. One junior partied for a whole weekend while his parents were gone. Friends helped clean the house, but missed one filled glass sit- ting in the cabinet with the clean ones. He's about the only person I know who was really and truly grounded for a whole month, Veronica said. A stick pin was used at one party to pierce a guy's ear. At another party, laundry detergent put lby uninvited guestsl in a bottle the host was drinking out of made two people sick. I didn't drink any so I thought it was fun- ny, said a senior party-goer. Parties are what keep people our age together, Miller Glanton, senior, said. Rain tried to stop a party at Casino Beach but failed. We all got under a picnic shelter and lit candles to see by, said a senior, it was a bor- ing party 'cause there weren't many people there. What's funny is when you get home just as your dad is leaving for work at 5:30 in the mor- ning. I got bruises from jumping in the win- dow, said one senior. Although fun, parties sometimes got too rowdy. Trinity, a live band, played at a ten keg par- ty at Alta Vista. It was a good party but turned into a disaster when a guy got stabbed 15 times. A Marshall Creek party ended with peo- ple getting run over and gutted, like fish, said a senior. On the way home some students were being chased by a white truck that was trying to run them off the road. It did a flip off the road, said a senior, Anyway, that's what I heard. I Only pride was injured at the journalism banquet as Kim Allen, senior, presents Joanna Hooker, junior, with the Cleverest Copywriter Award, despite the fact that other people wrote most of her copy.

Now, read irner Forbes' Furniture essay, pages 100- O. There was a moan and a few cries of mtest, but in all of this confusion a muffled Jray. Whatl? Someone actually cheering the iding of a book? Yes, there hidden in the ap crevices of the classroom, and in the :k corners of the library, there were those o enjoyed the literary pleasures of Charles :kens and Henry Wadsworth Longfellow. See Dick run. See Jane run, too. To some dents this may have been a literary xllenge, but to the well-read, challenges re within the pages of Shakespeare and nte. Classics of literature date back to the time of e Greeks with the epic poems of the Odyssey :l The Iliad. A person may claim that they : too difficult to read, but like in first grade, basic reading did not divinely come and thrust itself into the mind of a six year old, a person must build himself up to the ability to enjoy these and other stories. According to numerous sources, there were massive amounts of illiteracy in high schools. While students should be on the respective level of tenth, eleventh, or twelfth grades, many instead read on a sixth grade level. It wasn't because teachers didn't do their job in many cases, but because the students did not want to learn. There may be grumble of disagreement, but it is true. How many times had a student sat in their English class and slept while others read? It was not such an un- common sight. Another cop-out was watching t.v. when a book needed to be read. To enjoy a book may sound strange, but the ability to escape into the depths of outer- space, or to live in the 16th century England usually couldn't be surpassed even by television. Hlt is a lot of fun to go and see Dudley Moore fall down a flight of stairsg or to see Har- rison Ford by drug behind the back of a truck, but the truly fun thing for the same three dollars is to be able to read these stories for hours on end. There is of course, the problem of taking your date to a good book, Veronica Kennedy, junior, said. To enjoy a book may be something bizarre and out of the Twilight Zone, but literature was one of the oldest forms of entertainment. Even today, it is the main form of communication ex- cept for speech. Believe it or not, to have the ability to read can open those doors in a per- son's life that will not only improve grades, but one's life and the respect others give to them. The only thing that is needed to be done is dust off the cover of that book that has been sitting on the shelf for three years, and open it up, Cecilia Couch, junior, said. I Selecting a clan at the North Texas State University Math Seminar, seniors Bennett Howell, Gary Ocbome, and Paul Jones read the schedule. Making use of the school library, juniors David Riehl and David Dixson look at a car magazine. JUNIORS
