EVERYONE'S FAVORITE beauty contestant. •Andrew Miller, shows oil the evening gown, hairstyle and poise that were judged first place at a pep assembly. Quote Books Last year. Ben Long created a spe- cial-interest book that sent the stu- dents of Mr. Dick Lunger into the aisles with laughter. His hilarious version of “The Col. Lunger Quote Book inspired a smaller spin-off version entitled “Frau Quotes”, compiled by George Griffis. Here is a sample of the most memo- rable utterings: MR. LUNGER: DID YOU NOTICE? Every day we trudge through the halls of NHS and go through the motions of being alive. Fatigue, exhaustion, and soon, rigor mortis, take over our bodies and we walk lifeless until 3:10. We are so numb to our surroundings that even the things that are here every day go unnoticed. Sure we never take time to count the tiles in the LARC ceiling, or record the color of our P.E. teacher’s pencil holder, but there are major differences or weird occurrences that stick in our minds. The following bizarre landmarks are only a few examples: Did you ever notice the ominous steps leading to the BACK WALL of the sciences building? They were left intact after the building’s renovations were complete. To where do they lead? Pat Hook guesses, “to the future.” And does ANYONE really know where the Journalism place is (besides Journalism students)? Everyone we asked said, “Gee, I dunno. where is it?” What about the amusing doors in the li- brary? As Jeff Thacker and Kristi Arm- strong try desperately to escape through the emergency exit, Bob Bell points to the sign declaring “THIS IS NOT AN EXIT.” And how about the fifty non-existent lockers that fifty people get as- signed to every year? Or the way that people smoke like chimneys directly beneath a sign that says: “NO SMOKING IN THIS AREA. There are several others including some so unusual that only Judge Wapner could find an answer to those. What do YOU remember? “Time to get out the eggs!” ““You kids give me ulcers on my ul-' cers!” “All of my student some back and thank me for being such a hard teach- er.” FRAU BARNES: “Doch, doch, doch!” Oh, you poor child!” “You like that? They like that.” “Isn't that wonderful? c2 og

What's the difference? Bet you wondered that when school started, too. ( Please, not another year of Gilligan's Is- land!') Maybe this year it was doing homework with David Letterman or go- ing through Taco Mayo's drive-thru '7 need a large ice water to go or sitting in class daydream- ing when you notice ( Geez, I've written his name all over my fold- er! ). Maybe you were too busy trying to explain why you weren't in 4th hour. Then again you could've spent all your time cruising Sonic and renting movies. So what's the differ- ence? It was your year and you'll never have another year like it. So go ahead, flip through our catalog of memories, and use your imagina- tions, and your pens; make it yours, too. ...... But don't forget THERE'S A CATCH A TOUCH OF SPRING brightened up everyone's day even though the cold did come buck. Kendra Crawlord takes her time walking to the car. since there's no cold wind to chase her. SITTING ON THE FLOOR lor the assem bly wasn't the best part ol the pep rally, but the entertainment made up lor it! Tern Sinclaire and Trent Blackley try to predict what will happen next.

How Embarrassed Were You? “I was soooo embarrassed!” How many times have you strolled past someone telling another person a story and the end phrase was just that. Well, how embarrassing could it have been if they were laughing about it the next day? Well, that’s just the point. It’s always life-threatening when it happens but after a few days it gets a little humorous. Then, you burst out laughing if anyone even mentions the time you called your girlfriend and asked for another girl. Or the time you locked a kid in the car- while you were babysitting him! Or the time that... I was sitting next to Lisa Ross at the choir Christmas assembly and she thought it would be funny if she blew out Trent Blackley's candle. Well, these really big girls came up to us and threatened to beat us up. We’ve been avoiding them all year!!” -DARCI FOSTER This summer, a friend and I were crossing an intersection and we ran out of gas right in the middle of it! We walked to a gas station and when we got back to the car we realized we didn’t have a funnel. So we used a paper cup instead. Right in the middle of the road!” -SUSAN BATTIN I was at a summertime baseball game and the stands were packed. I walked up to the batter's box and then my foot got caught in my stirrup and I tripped and fell.” -BRAD COOPER. WHERE DID IT GO? 1. Big Mac. Large Fries, and A Coke: $2.51 2.

SNIGLETS Have you ever been at a loss for a really impressive word to de- scribe exactly what you have swimming in your head? Well, have you ever head of Sniglets? They are words that aren't in the dictionary but should be. For instance: you need a word for the broken M M's at the bot- tom of a bag. That word is MEM- NANTS. And how do you describe the sudden convulsion your body makes just before falling asleep? Well, that is a NAP- JERK.
