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. David Sluss said, uThe sophomore class annoys me because they all look and act the same. They all have long hair, wear jean jackets, and listen to heavy metaln liMy pet peeve is the lack of senior privileges, commented Jennifer Zahn. til really dislike the uppity attitude of the , students,n declared Sharon Wiseman. . uI dislike the way some teachers act so dense? stated David Anders. Ricky Viar joked, iiThere are so few of my peers who realize how brilliant I really amfl Deanna Via was bothered by, as she put it, uTeachers who only know what theyire talking about when they read it out of a book? iiThe fact that I donit have any study halls is my greatest peeve? decided David Wade. Russell Nelson felt, liTeachers who take two weeks to grade test papers are my greatest irrita, tion. llWhat really aggravates me is having to fill out surveys, joked Peter Morgan. uThe little know-it-all sophomores who think they,re so bad, commented Braden Miles. iiToo bad theylre wrong?

hanging out. Decisions, Decisions!?!? Where to go? What to do? And who with? Students con- fronted these questions and began to make weekend plans as early as Wednesday after- noon. Chowing down, attend- ing sporting events, shopping, or even just watching movies at home served as weekend entertainment. Early in the year, Hardeels on Brambleton Avenue proved to be the most popular hangout. People would grab a hamburger or a Coke, catch up on the latest gossip, and find out where the best parties would be that night. Students also gathered there after their dates during the late hours when they had nothing else to do. Hardeels changed all of that by deciding to close the doors at midnight, putting a cramp in late night activities. Tanglewood Mall attracted fashion-conscious shoppers as well as those who went there Rise and shine On the way to school, Lena Donatelli, Kara Mathis, and Sally McKinney stop at Hardeels for breakfast. Morning or night, students could always be found at Hardeesi lg lift Jennifer Allen Kim Zawacki ' w an gm C ut Students had a variety of places to Choose from when on rainy days or after school when there was nothing else to do. It was also a good place to catch up on what was hap- pening. Basketball games, how- ever, proved to be the most exciting activity! Where else could one be thrown down the bleachers by Cave Spring fans, scream obnoxious phrases at grown men, and go absolutely wild without too much fear of penalty?! It proved to be an exciting as well as a cheap date for only $1.50. When every inch of the mall had been covered and there were no more basketball games to attend, just bum- ming around the house seemed a pretty good idea. To pass the time at home, students often rented videos from the local video stores such as Video Biz or Advene tureland. However, if a person did not have a membership at one of these places, he could drop by the nearest Kroger or 7-11. These video stores of- fered a wide variety of movies ranging from the latest horror movie to the Old Humphrey Bogart flicks sure to please any movie buff. After choosing the perfect movie or movies, students raced home in order to view the latest mystery or the most recent comedy. Once at home, students avoided the hassle of pots, pans, and grease by preparing micro- wave popcorn which added the finishing touches to their preparations. As soon as all of this was done, they sat back, relaxed, and passed the time away Torryea Brewer 50M 0M This year the state of Virginia passed a law ban- ning the use of tobacco by anyone under the age of sixteen. Due. to this law, the Roanoke County School Board issued a rule forbidding tobacco products to be used in or around the school grounds. Students greeted this new rule with mixed feelings. itl think its excellent. Its the single best thing that has happened to Cave Spring, and well probably see other schools following the same policy within the next two or three yearsfl commented principal Robert Lipscomb. liThere have been a number of students who have broken the rule, however, and I think there will be some who will continue to do so. ll til think we should have one la smoking blockl e Itis our right to have one. Its the law, and Fm old enoughf, remarked Evonne Richardson. Shawn Patton said, tlllm glad we donlt have one. I was tired of wading through the cigarette butts to get to my classes? ult hasnlt affected me personally; however, when I go into the bathroom, it is always cluttered with smoke, commented Caitlin Osborn. Jeff Beckner remarked, ill donlt care if thlay have a smoking block or not. llm gonna go in the bath- room and do it anyway?' N 0 smoking allowed The empty area outside the cafeteria served as yet another remin- der of the new no smoking rule being enforced by the Roanoke County School Board as well as Cave Spring High School.
