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

WHAT PUDDLE DID YOU STEP IP1? Michelle Campbell s tennis shoes. tiave you ever imagined life as an inanimate object? have you considered one day without Mr. Scotts trigonometry homework, your parents hassling you about those late night calls, or six test in one day? Well, lets close our eyes-put on our imagination caps-and think of life as Gosh, sure is smelly in here. AII these old papers and magazine clippings, mirrors, jackets, and-old gym shorts. Of course this is characteristic of 80% of the lockers on our campus. I use my locker for everything including novels, term papers, and socks. ... It ' s a little crowded in here with all these tennis rackets. Life as . a locker isn t that great! What makes tennis shoes so unique? According to the majority of students, tennis shoes reflect your personality. Krista Clemens neatly autographed tennis shoes to Greg Qerman s bright, yellow high top All-Stars, designer tennis shoes are the latest in the fashion industry. Sure was a rigorous workout I had today. The constant thumping on the concrete courts was sheer agony. After supporting through this, more than tough workout, I was just tossed in a comer of a dark room with little ventilation, a closet. Life as a tennis shoe is hard work at work and play. Observing the objects on Mrs. Waguespack s desk, notice the fuzzy topped structure that causes much confusion. There is a tag that reads, Rub hard. This object was a frustration pencil. When rubbed hard, the fuzzy yarn separates, sticking straight up. A pencil is a unique utensil. Some are skinny, others are plump. Some are tali while others are short. The agony of being shredded into little wood pilings and my eraser being bitten makes life as a pencil not very pleasant. Now it ' s time to re-enter the real world. Let s think, a locker, the residence of horrorthe tennis shoes, the house of deadly, odor, and the pencil, the shredded wood pile, make present life great! 26 • MAKKIPKj TIME
