Tom's ■ W going with Sue! That type of talk was all that I [ seemed to hear mm mtm from kids around the school. On arriving from South Africa, my first observation was of the strange American fettish—guys walking their girls to their classrooms, dining romantically” together at lunch or just sinking into the depths of their partner’s eye while those who don't, stare indifferently at those who do. I asked a few why they did or didn't go steady. Diana Potts and David Peura both agree that going steady is having someone who cares.” And Deana Hubbard says. A good relationship is sharing memories and special times together. Americans still confuse me. though. Some say will and some say won't. The surprising thing is that they all have valid reasons. I prefer being single, says Terrence Hanna, because it's very relaxing and there are not that many problems to worry about. There are many who agree with him and add that they hate being tied down. I don't know. People come up with the strangest reasons. Bill Potter's girlfriend keeps him out of trouble he might get in to if she weren't there. Laura Branch again has a rather different way of describing the meaning of going steady: “The ball and chain routine,” she says. I guess that respect, trust and security are important in a relationship, just as Vicki Grippe suggests. And Crystal Nicholson says it all. There is nothing better than someone who is there to hold you when you need it most. Someone who can accept you the way you are. I am still undecided. To woo or not to woo is still my question. Melani Niekerk Two years of a steady relationship has cultivated a large degree of trust and security between Vicki Grippe and Keith LaDu. “It's fun.” said Keith 14 Seniors McClure-Morehouse

This year I am taking three honors classes in English, calculus, and Problems of Democracy (POD). Taking honors classes is very beneficial to me because it challenges me to maintain good grades. I can not try to “just get by when 1 take honors classes or college prep classes. I must work hard. Although good grades are important. I do not dwell only on school work and studying. I believe it is important to broaden my horizons. and school cannot totally fulfill these horizons. Realizing it is important to speak proper English, balance check books, and understand the government. I also realize that knowing how to do these things is not enough to fill my life. A student shoul participate in clubs, sports, and other organizations outside of school in order to fully understand the real world. Cindy Applebec 16 Seniors Osborne-Potts
