The Switch is On From the beginning, we all sensed the differences-in ourselves, in others, in everything we did. Most of the time, the changes were for the better and created a new and different feeling of excitement. Other times they generated a fear of losing old traditions or being ex- cluded from anticipated customs. But the changes always brought the students, faculty, and ad- ministration together. Whether we were joined in mutual spirit and enthusiasm over an athletic vic- tory, or discussing and analyzing new school policies, communication, respect, and a newly found dignity flowed throughout the school, and made us realize that someone truly cared about our thoughts, feelings, and achievements. As this feel- ing flourished and brought us closer, we knew that the differences were here to stay — that the switch was on. -Susan Lowery Clowning around.

UNIQUE You Wouldn ' t Believe the People Here Prepare yourself for the shock of your life. Contrary to popular belief, not everyone at Carroll Is a conformist. Oh, yes! There are some people who stand out by themselves. If by chance you ' re one of the few people in the entire world who have never seen a prepster-tr ue dedicated preppies-then just direct your eyes to Chris Boyd and Eric Wilmer. Eric reveals, My lavender Izod and boat shoes are among my favorites. Is it a title wave? No! It ' s the New Wave. The New Wave is growing bigger on the East and West Coast, and slowly in- vading Carroll. Sylvia Gordon and Jon Zucco are setters of this new trend. With New Wave clothes and hair cuts, they leave an ever lasting impres- sion upon others. I love New Wave, people aren ' t afraid to be themselves, comments Pam Wine. Some people not only dress different, but they also have different habits and hobbies. Did you ever wonder how some people have a habit of keeping such clean lockers? Carrying around every single book in their locker usually helps. If Del Ventrella isn ' t the smartest guy around then he certaintly is the strongest. The hobby of chess is alive and well in CHS. Ross Rannells and Don Mallot spend every lunch period toiling over a little square board, lost in concentra- tion. Chess King Troy Bussen feels, This stimulating game represents a minor challenge. Sports play a big part in every school, but some people carry it further than the court or field. Jocks-people who dress in sweats and holey foot- ball shirts-Jockers Jeff Burkhart and Rose Schortgen have carved out their own in- dividual identity as an all around athlete. Some people are known not for what they do, or wear, but for who they hang around with. Cliquesters and Lovers fall into this category. Cliquesters range from three to ten people who act alike, dress alike, talk alike, think alike. They only feel comfor- table around each other. Some people are scums, laughs Jennifer Guyer, and I just don ' t want to hang around them. Lovers can be seen steal- ing away precious moments in private halls and corners, seemingly unaware of all the onlookers. When asked to com- ment, they were too busy. Divided we are all very dif- ferent, unique people; united we are CHS. The people make the school, but their per- sonalities make school fun, and a life time memory. — by Sylvia Gordon and Sue Underwood Psst, shhh, don ' t tell anyone! are To be a jock or not to be a jock, Mike the words discussed among a Ostrowski demonstrates the wardrobe Freshman group. of a football player.
