He quickly falls back to sleep, but is abruptly awakened by his mother’s voice, “Get up, its after seven.” He groggily lifts himself to the side of the bed and then sleepily walks down- stairs. He gets into the shower and the water trinkling over his shoulders wakes him up a bit. After five or ten minutes in the shower and a hot breakfast he begins to feel as if maybe he can survive another day of school afterall. As the bus rumbles down the road, an- other school day awaits as he nears this dennison of higher learning. He remem- bers that pretty little girl in his fifth period class that makes him melt with her cool blue-eyed gaze. He remembers today will be the pep rally for that all important dis- trict game. He also remembers that Eng- lish test Miss Kelly has devised for his own individual torture. He thinks of that trip to Sugar Mountain that the Ski Club has planned for the weekend. And suddenly he’s looking forward to his day. It all bal- ances out, he thinks. His thoughts ramble back to that blue-eyed girl. She is so-0-0-0 pretty.

As he disembarks he thinks, “School would be all right if it weren’t for the teachers, the homework, and the tests.’ He pauses for a moment just out- side the door and stares at the imposing edifice before him. He hears the laughter and voices of those people inside that share his daily routine. He thinks, all it’s not so bad. We really are ONE OFA KIND.” He opens the door and goes in.

Everybody Can’t Have Perfect Quite a few people have felt the anxiety of the idea of having to wear glasses, con- tact lenses, or braces. How will this change my appearance? Will I look bad or good? Why do I have to get them? These are just a few of the questions pondered by them. Most people worry in vain because these devices are used to improve one’s appearance. A person does not have to wear braces infinitely and if one thinks glasses do not suit his appearance then he has the option of getting contact lens. Each one of these devices has a certain routine to follow every day. For braces one has to floss and brush correctly and not eat Smile, you’re on candid camera. . .

Of course there were times when one wondered why it had to be them with braces and glasses when their sister and brother had perfect teeth and 20 20 vision.
