I LOVE YOU. Jennifer Row, with little brother ALL SMILES. Jill and Sarah Stokes exchange Trey Snyder. glances on the breeze way before lunch. Double Trouble! These Kids Are arked For Life Once a few years ago Chris stud- ied for a Science test and I did not, so I had him take it for me while I went to lunch. I made a B, but Chris made an A said freshman Pat Marino. Pat and Chris Marino were one set of twins who have proven that there are some advantages to being twins, a fact attested by sophomores Pam and Tricia Lord. Mot ali twins, however, are related. Although juniors Shea J. and Shea Y. Anderson were not family related, they were linked with similar identi- ties. Well, as Shea Y. Anderson polite- ly expla ined, people are always get- ting us confused. In environmental Science Mrs. Burroughs calls me Shea Y. and the other Shea, just plain Shea.” Sharing the same name was not un- usual. Remember when there were two Lisa Smiths and two Lisa Stewarts? Then there were two Robert Lindseys; thank heavens, one went by Clint. Most brothers and sisters, were easily identified, but they usually did not socialize with one another. ”1 dont mind talking to her, as long as she doesnt bother me too much” said Armstrong Ratana about his sis- ter Aimee. Most brothers and sisters claimed they didn t worry about each other at school. There was another story, though, when teacher-moms and student- sons were involved. Mrs. Dunn, senior counselor and mother of Scott Caudle, said, I can keep an eye on what he is doing and apply any pressure needed in order to get things done.” Junior Kevin Waguespack, agreed that having his mother around could create unusual situations. It puts a lot of pressure on you to perform well. AII the teachers know you and expect you to do well,” said Kevin. Mrs. Conger, whose son Chris is a freshman, agreed, ' They don ' t have the freedom to make mistakes other kids do because mother is always around. There were advantages to having mom around; paper, pens, and mon- ey were usually available, as well as a place to keep books and suppi ies. Bobby Lewis, son of Mrs. Sledge, senior English teacher and Joffrey Cleveland, son of Mrs. Cleveland typ- ing teacher had rides to school in- stead of having to ride the bus. Bobby jumps out of the car every moming so that he won ' t be seen with me and rides the bus horne in the aftemoon. But that ' s because I usual¬ ly stay so late. Me allows me to take his books horne, though, said Mrs. Sledge. Qetting help at school from broth¬ ers, sisters or moms was fine, but sometimes there was a snitch in the family who told what had been going on at school. Suddenly the perpetra¬ tor was in double trouble. Oh! Those close relations. 22 • MARKIMG TIME

First Impressions Make Their Mark As Students Notice ... Guitars, Boys, Toys, And Their Ploys First impressions we all make them. We may wear the right clothes, say the right things and act the right way; but one little technicality might turn a person off. First impressions only happen once and many girls and guys go to outer limits just to impress the opposite sex. Junior Jor- dan Pennington explained, I get a suite at the Chateau, fili the room with black and white balloons, and order dinner by Vince from the Cambridge Club. ' ' On the other hand, some people use the subtle approach. An anonymus Junior replied, ‘ I send a dozen red roses to the girl before I ask her out on the First date, and of course she ean t refuse. ' Traditionally the guy usually has to have a pretty good cash flow when it comes to making a good and a lasting impression when he plays the dating game. But when Sadie liawkins rolls around it gives the guys ' wallets a break. ‘I like the roll reversal sometimes ' laughed Junior Meather howard, Tm just glad it only comes once a year. Mot only must you act the right way to impress someone, but you must also drive the right car (or just act like it). On the way to school one morning, ex¬ plained Junior Robert Morris, I acciden- tally ' drove up on the levee after I played a game of chicken with a neighborhood school bus.” After school seemed to be the perfect place to show off that new or maybe not- so-new ' car. Skidding out of the parking lot, landing in one of the many potholes, filled with mud, senior Stephen Glassell admitted, I swear, I didn t even see her behind me ' as senior Michelle Oliver got splattered with mud from head to toe. Students everywhere on campus try to make their trademarks noticed. Junior Jennifer McMullen explained, I always try to use words with more than three or four syllables. Some students try and try again, but it ' s the First impressions that really count. liOW DO I GET MYSELF INTO TMESE TME TRUE CAPPY. We always knew that MESSES? Senior Micheal Tucker seems to under that chic, sophisticated exterior. Senior have his hands full as seniors Michelle Katherine Goemer is a rocker. Campbell and Celia Bordelon surround him. 24 • MAKKIMG TIME
