De-ter-min-a-tion HARD AT WORK — Freshman Andy Quick, busily typing on her Braille writer, shows determination in coping with her blindness. Have you ever thought what it would be like to be blind? Though some psychology stu- dents have experimented with the handicap by wearing blindfolds, there are stili many unanswered questions in people’s minds. Well, if you have any ques¬ tions just ask freshman Andy Quick. Andy is fourteen and has been blind since birth, yet she lives her life as any nor- mal high school teenager would. She rides to school on the bus, she takes the same types of classes (English, Spanish, etc.) she spends time with her friends, of which she has quite of few. The only dif- ference is her blindness. This difference makes her unique. To complete her homework, she uses a Braille writer. To get around, she uses a cane, but she prefers to be led by her friends, who seem to help her fit in. During her spare time, she enjoys reading and writing, of all things. She attended Middle Mag- net before coming here. And when asked how she liked Magnet, she replied, “I like it; It’s OK, and there’s not really a change from Middle Mag¬ net.” What one word would de¬ scribe her? After a lengthy pause, she modestly said, “I can t think of anything right now.” But a word which could really describe an admirable person like Andy would be the word determined.

Little things like “slipping on a banana peel in the lunch room,” said Junior Michelle Gray. And then there’s more perplexing moments like when Donald Hobney recalled, “I will never forget the Homecoming spirit rally, when I crammed a whole banana down my throat- blindfolded- in front of the whole student body.” It wasn’t until after Allan Moore told me that it was ali a big joke. I really thought that I had won the contest.” As Donald blushed, “I was so embarrassed after I finally realized what had happened.” Not only freshmen but also Seniors remembered being very awkward in Mr. Scott’s class a number of times. Mr. Scott repeatedly told them to “bow down and worship the trigometric god.” He told them that they were all doomed to go to “mathematical hell,” when they did not know how to work a problem on the board. Not only do students get themselves in predicaments at school but they also become absent minded away from school, too. “I once locked my keys in the car with the windshield wipers going and the car running four hours while I was taking the ACT at Centenary,” recalled Senior Natalie White. Jokes are played and pranks are pulled, but it’s all for a good laugh.
