No, not a six pack, but a student could buy six of them for sixty cents. Lollipops! Yes, those wonder- ful little guys that were stuck on cardboard sticks. They were brilliantly colored in rea, green, orange, yellow, purple and many other colors. Not only did one get the ex- pected hard candy that suckers were famous for, but one could also get gum or a tootsie center in their ten cent investment. If adventure was a must, one could try the clearance basket which offere d lollies for only five cents apiece, but these were as is. If one felt the need to get a little spicy, he could try a sweet and sour lollie that came with its own plastic stick, which meant no more card- board particles on the old lips. As with anything around, taste in lollies even got a little expen- sive. The lollie connoiseurs ap- preciated the Young Investor ' s efforts to bring class into the lollipop business by selling See ' s suckers. A lollie occasion!

Oreakins Traditicns |HI» A car sleepily waits the end of the day when its ariver will wait his turn to get past the crews working to expand Saliman to four lanes. Worth the Wait? The squealing of brakes and the dull roar of automobiles weren ' t ex- actly the first sounds to come to one ' s mind when asked about the sounds of summer. However, the residents near North Saliman Street heard these sounds more often than they would have liked. It was at the end of the last school year that the widening of Saliman Street on the west side of Carson High began. The two lane street, which was almost always backed up with traffic before and after school hours, was torn apart, and the fence that restricted the cattle was moved back to make room for two new lanes. Everyone looked for- ward to the new, widened street, but few foresaw the inconveniences that the summer reconstruction would bring. Senior Lynda Cullen who lived off Saliman said, The widening of Saliman created many problems for me. I had problems with my car ' s alignment when the street was unlevel and rocky. There were also times when our water and electricty were temporarily shut off. Tne hampering of lifestyles caused by the street ' s widening wasn ' t only restricted to Saliman residents though. Junior Margie Freeman said, I was twenty minutes late to registration because of the work being done on Saliman. I couldn ' t get through to the school, and because I was late, I miss- ed some classes I was real- ly looking forward to. Sophomore LeeAnn Vo said, I was lucky because the sophomores were preregistered, but the street was an inconve- nience at the times when I wanted to go to Port of Subs or to work as it always slowed me down. by Michelle Struthers ' ' . ■■ » . ■;:■ .«, » ■• »■(,■ - yr r ■ . ■M ' c- ■ ' ■% • ' ' ■■ • - l ' V A- « ■ '

! IBcreakina Traditicnsmi oLittle thinai lead to 9 ' «r She looked around to see if anybody was watching her. She turned the earring display once around. After the display came to a dizzy halt, she looked around once more to check if she was being watched. No, the coast was clear. She reached out and took a pair off the display. Once more she took a quick look around, quickly because time was everything. Safe . . . She smoothly clrop- ped the pair into her coat pocket. She took one more look around. An electric shock pounded at her body as she saw a salesclerk staring at her in disbelief. She turned over the options quickly in her mind. She could act as if she hadn ' t done anything. Maybe then the salesclerK would either think There are many methods of shoplifting in stores today. she was imagining the whole thing or maybe she would even try to ignore it. The girl could turn and run out of the store, or she could put them back. Too late, the clerk picked up the phone and without taking her eyes off the girl proceeded with the rules of the store and called security. What happened to shoplifters when they were caught? Well that all depended on the store ' s policy. Most stores carried it out to the full extent of the law. The security officer made a citizen ' s arrest. If the shoplifter was under eighteen, he probably received a citation or was sent to luvenile Hall. There the case was review- ed by a probation officer who also went over the person ' s legal rights. The offender might have per- formed work detail or attended informal meetings with his pro- bation officer. If it happened to be that per- son ' s second offense, then it was more than likely that he had to do both work detail (with in- creased hours) and attend regular meetings with his proba- tion officer. If the person shoplifted again, there was a real possibility he would be sent to an institution. Although most believed that Carson was a small area, and not many bad things happened here, in 1986 there were 102 cases of juvenile arrests alone for shoplifting and petty theft. That was a high number con- sidering that this only represented the people who got caught. These were young people who knew what was right from what was wrong. Stealing wasn ' t cheaper in the long run; the people who did it weren ' t just teenagers out to have a good time anymore; they were criminals. by Michelle Heun Sometime or another the law will catch up; the results of shoplifting can be disastrous. » • . • - ' ;■ i ' ■. ;■ j: -r. .» ' - ' I?
