 Seniors Are Your Daddies! Wouldn't you like ro be o Daddy roo? It all started when they were newly arrived sophomores. They were scared ... lost... and laden with a jealousy for power — the power of the upperclassmen. They were kicked around, used and abused, bewildered lambs in the frightful social slaughter house of a large modern high school. Everyone had a place but them. Seniors had reached the climatic pinnacle of stardom, their last year. Juniors served as the understudies of the seniors, being prepared to take over their leadership roles. Sophomores, however, were — well, sophomores. They were the kid brother or sister that had to fight for respect. They were, in a manner of speak- ing, guilty until proven innocent. As the year wore on, however, they began to get a feel for their rightful personage, their right to fulfill their talents and be treated as decent human beings. Slowly, they emerged from their quiet, browbeaten shells and began to eat away at the foundation of superiority that the upperclassmen possess- ed. They chisled a foothold in the mighty mountain of humility that obstructed their path to dignity. As the sophomores united together in this mighty and tumultuous endeavor, they tepid- A teacher's dream-come-true occurs m Mrs Carder's 5th period EngSsh Class — two students wishng to answer the same question. ly embraced a rallying battle cry which was their adage of faith, hope, and glory: the substance of their dream. Dawns melted into dusks, and by process of evolution, sophomores progressed into the juniors. More sure of themselves now, they resounded their cry even more loudly, and built their hopes on the statues of its honor. They had a name, a reason, and they knew where they wanted to go. Their faith in their motto would take them there. It was a serious thing to them, and they branded it on their hearts with a determined faithfulness. The bondage of time which supressed them to be juniors eventually bowed its head and gave way to the grand finale, the height of nobility itself, and forfeited to them their rightful heritage. Seniors reigned. The once feeble voice of an intimidated sophomore class now united its chords in clarion thunder that resounded across the lands of their ancestors, and heralded the birth of a new era of majesty for the now impeccable up- perclassmen, and cried ...

Having finished her tasty ch . Andrea Orr seems to be wonder mg where she has ptaced her trusty Turns Keys to o Healthy Diet Take a heavy dose of friends, fun and food. What's the best thing about the four food groups? They’re edible. Well, some of them, anyway. Sometimes the old grease fries compensate, should such a change of mind occur. As far as eating out was concerned, there was at least one of every species of food of- fered. There were burgers, fries, pies, cookies, chicken, (fried, shaped into nug- gets, or sandwiched between hamburger buns), fish, tacos, burritos. milkshakes, ice cream, hot dogs, and soft drinks that ranged from new fangled caffeine-free diet Coke to reliable Mountain Dew. No matter what the size, shape, or taste, food played an important role in our lives, whether we tried to avoid it for the sake of our figures, or devour it to build our muscles. It gave us a legitimate reason to linger and mingle at restaurants and shaped the per- sonal characteristics of our class. For in- stance, hamburgers and fries were in;” hot- dogs were ‘‘uncool.” Chicken fillets were merely acceptable, and fish fillets on a Fri- day night were reserved only for bizarre eccen- trics. It gave us identity. Were we part of the Hardee’s crowd or the Steak House patrons? Of course, there was always food to be found within the hallowed halls of our alma mater. Certs could be purchased in the bookstore along with ever other category of mints and candy. Snack machines were located throughout the campus. Naturally, the cafeteria offered a tantalizing array of gourmet delec- tables ranging from the ever popular BBO, fries, and hostess cake to the impeccable tuna salad. Apples, candy, burgers, and veggies could all be bought for a minimal expense. It was often hard to choose — the ravioli or the chili? Bisquits and cheese sandwiches were available in the morning for the early riser to breakfast on, and when the last lunch line door closed as 3rd lunch drew to an end, one could reasonably deduce that the cafeteria workers had had a busy, not to mention, crowded day. Even if we did not like the food, lunch was still our favorite part of the day. After all, who has to worry about failing lunch? After a winn g game.
