Open mouth; insert foot! Be quiet! Running off at the mouth! Motor Mouth! We at Bradley had heard all of these sweet expressions and more. Al- though we students seemed to eat endlessly throughout the day, we al- ways found time between chaos to yell, babble, voice or opinion, grunt, and laugh . Mouths were undoubtedly a feature we gave little rest. In the event of a ballgame, we used them to cheer or boo and if we were arguing we utilized them to vent our anger. On some occasions we found our mouths were nice resting place for our foot. It was those times when our mouth worked faster than our brain. When this happened, it often meant a trip to the office to receive a reprimand and only a couple of hours of detention if we were lucky. Most of the time, however, our mouth was only a place for our lips to rest. Without a doubt, some people in our school had bigger mouths that others. Caught off guard before her Ranstrassy mem- bers, Connie Gatlin appears to show the wrong mouth formation for singing. These were our official yellers at pep rallies and sporting events. Usually these vocal giants were loy- al seniors and a few juniors and soph- omores who crowded together at ral- lies and games to express the Bear Spirit and toss confetti and rolls of toi- let tissue. The activity most teenagers consid- ered as important as snacking was kissing. Of course, such puckering by the mighty mouths of Bradley was pro- hibited, taboo. We knew of no couple who succumbed to spring love and kissed each other on campus. Perhaps more expressive than one's eyes and any other feature was one's mouth. After all, only our mouths could share a smile or a word of cheer that fostered Bradley friendships. 22 Mouths
