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.

Global Style ll 7 SuccevJul t j WVvo Hove JUST HANGIN' AROUND, Scott Anderson and Jim Schwartz enjoy themselves, even when they're just sitting around the school with noth- ing special to do. Thinking back on some of the things Mollie and I have shared, one of the funniest things that comes to mind was one night during the summer. Mollie and I had headed for Lake Thunderbird and we were going toward a certain dock. Mollie told me I needed to turn off onto so so road. I told her that I was on the right road, but she insisted I turn, so I did. Well, we got lost! Lost for about an hour! Taking several back roads, we finally got back on track and we ended up at our dock talking. We ended up jumping in the water with our clothes on. and having a long. wet. ride back to town.” . . -Cary Lamb ‘‘One night my friends Karen Strate. Theresa Todd. Shannon Lynch. Jim Schwartz and I decided to go out bis- cuiting. We'd done it before but noth- ing like this ever happened. Well, we were all throwing biscuits at any cars driving by. just laughin’ and messin’ around. All of a sudden one of 'em turns around and starts following us. Of course we don’t stop and say ''Hello.”! We keep driving and get to Jeannie Landsaw's drive. We park and turn off our lights. We were sure he'd drive on. He didn’t! So Jim being the only guy. gets out of the car and walks over to talk to the driver. We're all stunned at what's go- ing on. We find out the guy wants to talk to the driver. That's me. So what do I do! I jump in the back seat. We never told him who the driver was. So he just gave the whole car a little speech and left. It was not a good night for biscuit- ing!” -Amy Lafferandre One Friday night, after Audra Ko- zak. Kristan Gray. Jeannie Keeling and I had been driving around all night and had gone to Sonic at least ten times, we decided to eat at Taco Mayo. It was around eleven thirty and of course we all had a curfew of twelve. We were gonna just make a hit-and-run stop before going home. Anyway, before we ordered we went into the bathroom. Well, when we tried to leave the bathroom the door wouldn't open! The door was locked! We all about died! Then Jeannie says “Oh my Gosh!” I lost my finger nail!”. Then she started jumping up and down and it came out the bottom of her jeans! We all started cracking up and beating on the door. Finally Artie”, the man- ager came and unlocked the door for us. The funniest thing was trying to explain to our parents the reason we were late was because we were locked in the Taco Mayo bathroom looking for Jeannie’s fingernail.” -Carrie Neill WORKING ON HOMEWORK together Mollie Bates and Cary Lamb, share most of their time together just kidding around, making school days fun and weekends with little free time.
