An Oxymoron is a self contradicting phrase. Their genesis precluded their existence. Inspired by a drab vision of a sea horse on a camel selling pancakes, they have set out to compose a plain symposium of their gossipy philosophy of progressive decay towards a less and more harmonius serendipity without prepositional excess. Thus, their simple past will have made the future perfect for their authentically absurd and deeply irreligious contrition. That is to say they would be profoundly trite, but they are. They consist of military intel- ligents, jumbo shrimp, sophomores and other non-members. As they say to all: “God’s luck and good speed.” 1) Eric Rader checks the time. 2) Charles checks the news. 3) The Oxymorons (1-r): Oren “Moostapha” Shiu, Colin Mosher , Dan “Tryptamine” Ru- derman, Micheal “Jumbo Shrimp” Web- ster, Eric Rader, Michael Israel, Charles Hunter.

The Society of Early Morning Risers (Breakfast Club) was a new group on the B.H.S. Campus this year. Little was known about this club, however, the members were spotted in local restaurants at ungodly hours on Fri- day mornings. As the year progressed, more light was shed on the proceedings of this secret society. It was discovered that in order to avoid conflict within the group, every member was made a club president. This resulted in mu- tual agreement among the members and a chance to list a club presidency on college applications. 1) Breakfast Club members (L to R) (bottom row): Jake Holdreith, Deby Dolin, Cindy Bent, Demetrios Pa pan- ikolas, Kerstin Frasier, Anne Leg- gette, Joey Linhares, Laura Bratt, Da- vid Fish; (top row): Debbie Leggett, Teresa Graham, Jenny Sanders, Mar- go Brooks, Amy Gilmar, Louise Mulis, Erin Graham. 2) The club turns hysterical after break- fast. 3) Davnd and Jake Photos by Louis Mullis 30
