' Yours until tomorrow, or forever! Sod, teory eyes, bright red blushes, stolen glances, notes passed, hugs and kisses, were oil symptoms of that common high school condition known OS puppy love. Some took puppy love lightly, but for mony who experienced it, it wos a serious reality. Sophomore Les Crew said, It was great when we were together, but breoking up was hard to do. Sometimes puppy love seemed like it could lost a lifetime but for many it was only o moment of their teenage lives. Most of the time pup- py love endured for weeks or maybe months, but partners seemed to break up over trivial to significont things like another person, or just being tired of the some boyfriend or girlfriend. Symbols of puppy love could be found wropped up in diomond sweet- heart and first promise rings while some couples traded class keys and others bought matching T-shirts. Some students who felt they need- ed to show their affections for eoch other openly in the halls would find themselves in trouble. The first time o person was caught he was warned. The second time he could be suspend- ed. Mr. Matas, the dean of boys, said, A student has got to know when to draw the line. I feel it should be shored privately not publicolly. Mrs. Gentry, the dean of girls, agreed with Mr. Motos, There is o time and a ploce for this and the halls ore not it. Showing their spirit — Cindy Dean and Ctiuck Gold dress up on western day. Symbols of love were shown through the giving of doss rings and the accept- ing of promise rings. Puppy love 15

The good times roll People think I ' m no good and crozy OS o loon cause I get stoned in the morning and drunk in the ofter- noon. The Choriie Doniels Bond. Partying meant just this to some stu- dents while this wos not everyone ' s style. Students spent their evening time roller skating, eating out, going to sporting events or just having fun v ith friends. I don ' t need drugs to have a good time with my friends, sold senior Sheilo Corey. However morijuana olias: pot, weed, or grass was still a popular hab- it at parties despite warnings from teachers and parents. Residentiol parties were not the only piece to party. Other places were the drive-in movie, in the perk- ing lots at McDonald ' s, the roller rink or just cruising around. I don ' t think my weekend would be complete without a good high, sold a senior. Peer pressure seemed to affect some students while others were able to escape it. I get high because my older friends do, said a sophomore. While a junior seemed very sure of herself, I do not get high but I might hove on occasional drink which no one forces me into. It ' s my decision entirely. Alcohol or booze was also popular for a weekend high. Tm not on alcoholic or anything I just enjoy hoving a few beers with the guys on Friday nights, said o ju- nior.
