While talking to Senior Wayne Campos and junior Melissa ( arcl. junior Bridget Bariell shows olT her Alarm back patch. Atomic ®ypsy Start out with Heavy Metal. Add Thrash and Glam. Throw in a httle bit of Elvis. All of this may seem bizarre, but not to students who saw and heard the band Atomic Gypsy. Students probably saw them either play on school campus or at least saw them around school. Their motto, II you don ' t have fish lure bracelets and brightly colored Converse, you ' re not in the band, has given the band a touch of originality. The band started out about two and a half years ago with drummer Bob Conrad and bassist Jeff Moser. A year and a half later they acquired guitarists Scott Hoole and Mark Moots, but just recently obtained vo- calist Brent Roxton. The Band has done many things since they started out. They have played at Carson Jr. High; they played on the Fourth of July Battle of the Bands; and they have played here at lunch time. They just recently hooked up with Michael Furlong to record a tape. Their songs range from many dif- ferent influences. The songs that they wrote include Social Disgrnce, Asfihiilt Jungle. Little Toy, PiiiiJtinioiiiiim, and V( tike up Screaming. Some of their cover tunes include their renditions of God Save the Queen from the Sex pistols. Method of Madness from the Lords of the New Church, Nice Boys and Sueet Child of Mine from Guns and Roses, Cathouse and Bathroom Vi ' all from Faster Pussycat, and Talk Dirty to Me from Poison.

AHH! Qweef Music If a person were to walk down a hallway between classes, he would probably think he was see- ing his favorite rock stars. But actually they weren ' t rock stars at all. They were just people express- ing their musical interests. Some people Aere quiet about what they listened to. They dressed normally, but were usu- ally found with a set of head- phones. Some people liked to look like their favorite rock stars. They im- itated the musicians in Megadeth, U2, Oingo Boingo, and Poison. Another way people expressed their musical interests was the way they dressed. Some people preferred just torn up Levis, a concert t-shirt and a faded Levi jacket. Some people dressed in sweats, mainly Adidas, and walked around as if they were in RUN DMC. Other people looked as if they were refugees from the Rocky Horror Picture Show. One of the main ways people expressed their musical interests was the way they wore their hair. It varied from long hair to short hair, from long bangs to no bangs, from Mohawks to bobs. Senior FloyJ Birdsell shi.ws off his Slayer back patch while Senior Mike Mcintosh giggles at htm. Junior Jamie Johnson rocks out during lunchtime while Junior Millie Spraque gets ready to flick her food across the room. 44

WEEKENDS: Wild and Wacky He Dude! Where ' s the par- ty? That seemed to be the press- ing question during school on Fridays. Many students had different ideas in mind for entertaining themselves over the weekend. I like to either go to Reno and cruise or just party here in C ar- son, said Chris Faehling. I enjoy taking out my girl- friend to a movie and a nice din- ner, said Matt Baker. Some others could be found cruising the Main Drag in Reno on Virginia Street. When you cruise the ' Main Drag ' in Reno, you see so many people and make lots of new friends, said Melissa Hotchkiss. Other students just stayed in Carson searching for amusement. 1 just hear about parties from everyone else, said Jamie Kingham. Most of the time people just tell me about parties or anything that ' s going on, said Derek Brid- ges. A few people congregated in McDonald ' s parking lot. As sot)n as the weather got colder, the group of people got smaller and smaller. Many students journeyed from one party to another in hopes that they would find the biggest, oudest, and wildest party a- round.
