To Do or Not to Do s M In our lifetimes there are A very few things that we can L count on or be sure of. But, L there is one Inevitable, unavoidable annoyance that C we CAN count on — homework. H Though there is no way to A avoid this torturous obstacle, N one needs to know the basics G of doing it. E The first step is getting home from school. Immediate- ly throw your books down in a concealed or dark place, and head for the refrigerator. Then, proceed to turn on the televi- sion and tune in a favorite episode of Gilligan ' s island , (no, no! Don ' t begin your homework yet!) After Gilligan, immediately look busy, as Mom and Dad will soon be home. Feeding the fish, taking out the trash, putting the dishes away will do just fine. Depending on your parent ' s mood, you can decide what to do next. If, for example, they are in a bad mood, retreating to your room may be the best possibility. Oh, and take your books with you; it looks better that way. Once upstairs, turn on the stereo and decide that you had better not start any homwork because it ' ll soon be time for supper. After dinner is over, a twinge of guilt (a very minute twinge) may overtake you as you see your books lying there. The on- ly solution is to clean the rabbit cage. Soon you start thinking about what a wonderful person you are for doing such a thoughtful thing, (and it ' s amazing how many more thoughtful things you can find to do.) it ' s ten o ' clock and as you prepare to go to bed, you spot those la books. Slowly, you pick them up and drag them downstairs — truly believing that you are actually going to do the work. For the first half- hour, just stare blankly at the pages until you finally realize that you may as well turn on the television. This continues until twelve thirty or until your eyelids open, (whichever comes first) The next day at school, you do your algebra during English, English during biology, biology during history, history during journalism, and simply take your journalism home as homework. Now, see how easily the lit- tle annoyances of life can be handled? — Stephanie Kiess Faster than a speeding bullet.

rom Fruitflies to Hupcaps rhe Pick of the Flicks Teacher T; e fk , It begins freshman year with rilling Biology filmstrips on l|e sex-life of a fruit fly, and en railing English 9 films on Ivorite authors. Sophomore ar provides a short reprieve students view only a few lliglish movies and exciting id realistic films in Drivers ' Ij. Junior year, however, the ication is over. Charles ijrault flicks, the blaring ens of the classic Anne ank, the realistic Hindenburg mstrip, and dramatic por- ayls of outstanding moments Dm the past fill the days in S.

Though most students will agree that movies can often be boring, they also feel that the films shown in class every once in a while can be enter- taining and interesting. — Susan Lovjery Discovering The Truth of Fiction the sophomore English students view movie during class. — Lisa Konger November 6. jggp ° ie ' ar, ' - , ° f memorable H ' ' Patrimony at q ' ' ' rch n Deflan ' even ' s ' - ' eriance, Oh o number of r ' ° ients occurr ° ab ' e -rer.on r ' - ghout ' 9 Picked un ' ed- --a ' -on between 2 ' ' ' ° - .

Webster ' s Dictionary defines date as a so cial engagement ;tween two persons of op- osite sex, yet I found that a t of times there is more to ating than that. But if andielight, starry skies and jmance all fit into your defini- on, you may be disillusioned, ake, for example, those unex- ected yet always memorable vents such as those oh, so em- arrassing moments . . . It was the first time I dated certain girl, and as I rang the oorbell-l forgot her name. While taking off his coat, (we were in the movie theater) he accidently hit me (in an unmentionable place) and then when he went out to get a pop, he stepped and tripped over my feet into the aisle . . 1 was getting out of the truck . . . and I fell and sprained my ankle. Junior Sue (Jnderwood stated that her most embar- rassing time was when she, ran out of gas . (Sure. Sue!) And then there ' s senior Rich Snavley who literally LOST his date at last year ' s prom. Some people ' s embarrassing moments embarrassed me too. Like the anonymous person who accidently wiped snot on his date ' s face during an allergy attack. Realistically there probably are more pleasant experiences while dating than bad. When asked what they like to do or where they liked to go on a date, a majority said that they enjoyed just being with the other person . . .

Kinda like Kentucky Fried Chicken. — Stephenie Kiess Small Change 21

ibrary Training It all started when 1 was a ;re freshman. In my English iss, we had to go through a rary training course; it was rrible. First we had a lecture over e whole library, (it lasted •out two days). Then we had draw a map of the joint, lich we were expected to ;asure for ther rest of our Many freshmonic mistakes ;re made, such as knocking loks off shelves, and talking, ice, I accidentally said the [forgivable word, library . I of a sudden a white haired |ure came at me; my days ;re numbered. She said, ' his is a Media Center! If you II it a library again, I ' ll take vay your privileges. ;edless to say, I ' ve never ade that mistake again. Another favorite library pastime of C.H.S. students is writing graffiti on the carells. This provides hours of enter- tainment, and an unsuual way to spend time. There are mixed feelings about the Media Center, some good and some bad. Dara Felger says, 1 don ' t like it because every time I go in there, I get kicked out. Many other students feel the same way. They have a lot of good books, but I don ' t like some of the rules, recalls Deanna Leas. A number of students feel as though it has been a great help to them in their studies. Mrs. Biggs, secretary, feels the Media Center is a great place and that is has a lot of good material. — Terry Fonner )on ' t Get Testy When you come to the end f the section, do not go on, ist stop and wait until the me is up. Ready? you may pen your test booklets and egin. This speech should Dund very familiar to students ho have gone through the udgery of taking the SAT or CT. These tests, which are vital D college bound students, are ot usually a favorite way for tudents to spend their Satur- ay mornings. Besides the fact lat they have to get up at an ngodly hour and travel half- ay across town (usually to lorthside or lUPU), most tudents are partially terrified ' f taking this test which will have such a profound influence on their future. I was scared to death until I got there ad mitted Terry Fonner. However, this fear can increase when a student arrives only to find they will be taking the test with a bunch of 5th graders. Most students find that traveling to the test site with friends reduces their anxiety. On the other hand, going at it alone develops self-confidence and responsibility and allows students the chance of meeting other high schoolers. In any case, taking these tests deter- mines a student ' s college ac- ceptance, and in turn, their future. — Dara Felger get nervous, and along with nerves nr. related events.
