a' Ann Reynolds was late. The parking lot had already filled to capacity, and the only spaces left were along Chaparral Drive. The next thing she knew, the front wheels of her car had slipped over the embankment, leaving the vehicle hanging precariously over the edge. All she could do was slide out of her car, trying to present the appearance portrayed by her license plate e B COOL. The first days of school brought all sorts of small mishaps for students and faculty alike. Alarm clocks failed to go off, and buses roared past empty stops while their riders rushed to get ready for school. The computer created havoc during second lunch by scheduling over 500 students into a cafeteria which wouldnlt hold them all. Lost pencils, untied shoe laces, and over- turned drinks irritated stu- dents often. Little things provided momentary em- barrassment or annoy- ance. Sophomore Chris Simpson crashed into a senior table during lunch, Howard Shumate,s gym shorts slipped during a badminton game, and Scott Newbold took a lot of flak when he drove his motherls pink nMary Kayl, Cadillac to school. In the crowded, noisy cafeteria, everything ground to a quiet halt when an unfortunate studentls lunch tray crashed to the floor.

In trig class, Mrs. Carole Billings stopped lecturing because she saw a note being passed that caused several students to laugh. She took the note, read it, and began laughing herself. The note read, HSmile if youlre not wear- ngid Michie ing any underwearfi One unexpected occur- rence which affected the entire school was a power failure that hit as students changed classes between fifth and sixth periods one November afternoon. An errant car had snapped a power pole several blocks away in Starkey. Things were especially bad in the back hall. The emergency light from that area had been sent away for repair and never returned. With few windows to provide light, people couldnlt see where they were going. Hurrying from dark- ened classrooms through blacker corridors, stu- dents pulled out Bic light- ers to see to open their lockers. Luckily, nothing was seriously burned, al- though Vinnie Schoen- field commented, uThe hair on my arm got scorched by some jerk,s lighterfi At 1250, Principal Robert Lipscomb dis- missed students who drove or walked. Faculty and staff continued to work. Ms. Betty Hosp taught French by candle- light to her remaining students while Mrs. Mil- dred Jones continued to check attendance records. Finally buses arrived and the halls cleared. Students found it was the unexpected which kept things interesting. Brett Bowles 9d Peww ???et peeve: a constant object of annoyance. School was full of little or large objects which annoy, irritate, and aggravate students and teachers alike. The types of aggravations varied but some remained constant for everyone.
