their own little world the one thot columbus didn What a day. I flunked another one of Mrs. Steele's math tests, my dad left for work without giv- ing me a ride to school and my moth- er expects me to miss the basketball game Thursday night to work on my homework again. I need a break! Most teenagers probably foiuid themselves in this type of situation many times during the course of the year. It can be helpful to have a place where one can go to get away from it all. Favorite get aways included the library, a treehouse, one's room, and the park. Sometimes when I have just had it - when it's been one of those days - and I can't get up and leave the class I'm in, I put my pencil down and pull my shirt over my eyes, Nancy Donham said when asked where her place to get away from it all was. If I can, my room is where I prefer to go. Someplace where no one else is. Be it my room or even a cor- ner in a quiet hall during class. I just like to be alone, said Missy Pharr. Students who didn't have a place to escape to often found re- lease in other activities. By putting their thoughts into writing in dia- ries, poems, journals, and letters to t discover friends, some eighth graders found escape from the daily grind. By plugging in earphones, stu- dents shut out the noises that they didn't Want to hear. Still others es- caped into a good book. They found their places. They had their spots, and they must have worked, because they made it through all the one-of-those-days days. The eighth graders s1u'vived, but they could.n't have done it With- out a retreat. They had to take time out from the hustle and bustle of our world for time in their own little world. Ruth Attanasia r c Billy Aughenbough K Shannon Banks Ken Beckham ,Y-.

8 finding o ploce to fit o nut in seorch of o bolt Sixth grade was when they thought they had it made. Seventh grade was when they realized that people could only be on top for a little while for suddenly they were low- men-on-the-totem-pole. Then there was eighth grade. The eighth graders didn't really know where they belonged. They knew they weren't on bottom, but they also knew they didn't have a name yet. I thought that now, since I knew my way around, that I could be one of those who sent those unsuspecting little seventh graders to three or four different buildings Brent Fisher Mania Fitzgerald Rebecca Fitzpatrick Rachel Fitzpatrick Janna Gan'ett Kim German Ramon Green Tiffany Green Vedisa Green Kristi Grever Greg Haker Brian Hare Eric Hamess Teresa Harper Woody Harrelson Deyango Harris Ebonie Hanfis Eric Harrison Kristi Hanley Christy Hatzfield looking for a bathroom, said Tam- my McGhee. Though I never fell for that when I was in the seventh grade. But some experienced a rude awaking when they realized that they weren't going to be respected any more than they were the year be- fore. It kind of burst my bubble to think I went through all that last year as a dumb seventh grader, and all I got for my troubles was the privi- lege to be a dumb eighth grader. I must admit, I'm not impressed, said Mike Berry. The lesson was reinforced time and time again by Coach Tony Ad- ams. They're good kids, but like any other class before them, they just need to be reminded that right now they are paying their dues. Soon they'll be the ones dominating the campus. Toward the beginning, the eighth graders thought they could break the ranks and proceed to make themselves something important on the campus. In actuality they came to the realization that the ranks at high school were too strong to be bro- ken. 'I 48 People -v 4 S 'll
