Freshman Paranoia Let the initiations begin Susan Althoff Kendra Damjanovich Tina Gatlin Boyd Hager Cory Harmon Theresa Haney As everyone knows, the freshmen year is a living hell. Paranoia overcomes the mind the instant you walk into the school. Panic sets in when you see the seniors stalking the halls armed with permanent markers. You try to run, but there's no place to hide. Your friends don't even try to help you because they are trying to save themselves. As they draw closer, your heart pounds., and a lump forms in your throat. The next thing you know, you're pinned against the wall. Helpless, your sqir m, but it doesn't help. They laugh at you as they tatoo a mustache on your face. As they pull away you frantically run to the bathroom and throw water on your face It s no use, the moustache removal process is interrupted by the bell. Naturally, the one thing on every freshmen's mind is revenge. So, they spend the next three years plotting that revenge for the future freshmen. Jamie Tuell said, I’m gonna try to stuff them in lockers...and if they don’t fit, I'm gonna try anyway. Erika McBride's idea was to Take them up to the graveyard, tie them to a headstone, shaving cream them, and make them walk home. Other freshmen, such as Kerista Webber, have milder ideas. Til just ignore them.” While Cory Harmon hasn’t even though about it. He told us he'll, “Wait till the day comes. Well, they still have three years to plan bigger and better strategy. How bad will it be? I guess we will just have to wait and see.

Oafi'ce? tlHo iiif lnt jr . Ini gin prepares for a riigtit, of dancin' High school students take dances for granted, but for the 7th and 8th graders it’s all a new thing toexperience. We all remember our first dance and the preparations for it. But of course it’s different for guys and girls. He starts out by going into the bathroom, locking the door and taking out his dad's razor. Although he has no facial hair, he scrapes away at his bare face! Afterwards he takes a bath in his fathers cologne. Reeking so much that he can taste it, he dashes back to his room. He opens his closet, repeatedly surveys the contents, and even though he’s gotten four new outfits, he thinks s ! s rL.I don’t have a thing to wear!” Since it can’t be helped, he does the best he can with what he's got. Suddenly it hits him! He doesn't know the first thing about dancing. With fifteen minutes left he turns up his radio and frantically tries a few steps and moves. But he gives up on a loosing battle. Now he's as ready as he can get, so he heads for the dance. He dreams of pulling up to the school in a red Porche with all the girls begging to go for a spin. When he walks in the door he thinks (As Tom Rech and Chris Taylor said.) the dance would be great if only there were more girls” and no teachers ! She first calls at least three other friends to come over so they can get ready. It seems to be an unspoken law in junior high that no girl gets ready by herself! The dance starts at 7:00 p.m. so prepa- rations start at noon. Four hours later she still can’t decide which hair style to wear. After choos- ing the one that no other girl could possibly have and making sure that absolutely every single hair is in just the right place, she brings out the hair spray. She sprays gallons of it all over her head. You wouldn't dare light a match in the house! All the hair spray combined with all the perfume, would create a nuclear explosion! Fate always has a sense of humor. This is the day that she gets...breakout! The culprits, glowing like a neon sign, can manage to be covered up with only a few bottles of cover up. So now it's off to the dance. Before the girls walk in, they stuff a pack of gum in their mouths. Heaven forbid if they had bad breath! Roni Scott and Gentry Teesdale said it would be so much better if they had video dances and if guys like Jon Bon Jovi” would show up! After everyone starts to really get into the action, it begins to be a lot of fun! It may have been a lot of work and strain, but...wasn't it worth it after all?!
