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.

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.

Lisa Konger Food Fight- Run for Cover i It started out as the average 2nd lunch period on a Friday afternoon. The sophomore and senior table seemed quite con- tent, but the juniors had something else In mind. Who would have known that throw Ing a carrott stick or two could lead to anything big? Suddenly, coming from a junior table across the cafeteria, the sophomore table was bombard- ed by a flying orange. On December 17, 1982, a major food fight broke out In the Carroll High School cafeteria. The sophomores, us- ing peas as ammunition, were no match for the fried chicken thrown by the juniors. As food began flying through the air from all directions, people dove under tables and behind huge Let me hear your body talk -A l Oh those eyes! Is Mark Stout trying to look seductive or is he just bored? —Joe Rife I am sure you have all heard the popular tune Body Language by Queen. But, have you ever noticed how you and others perform the lyrics dally? Picture this: A classroom florescently lit. A monotonous voice lingers at the front of the room, you notice that the person beside you is resting his chin on both hands — just one sign. Five minutes later, his eyes have closed I 4 an inch — getting intriguing. Ten minutes later his head is on the desk engulfed by his arms. You then suspect that he ' s not Into the life-cycle of a fluke. It ' s a sure- fire clue to the teacher something Isn ' t right. The student told the teacher a great deal without saying a word. We sometimes use ' body language ' to subtly show the teacher we have no Idea what the answer Is. Some, like Michelle Beck act as if a foreign object has placed Itself in her eye. Others wildly wave their hand to be called on — reverse psychology. But no matter how you perform your own body language, people can pick up the meaning. After all, it ' s a universal language. — Tammy Baker columns. Only the brave dar ' to stay out In the open to p ticipate In the action. As more and more studer began running for cover, t food fight gradually ended. , he stood on the desk located the cafeteria, Mr. Wood aski everybody who was Involved help clean-up.

However, no on said they saw anyone actus ly start It; therefore, nobod has collected the fifty dolle reward. —Deb Wilhelr 24 Small Change
