r Make-up, braces, exercising, and dieting are just a part of the catching self- improvement fever. V. “I’ve gotta do something with this hair! “I really should lose weight! I can’t wait to get my braces off!” Everyone has heard such comments at one time or another — especially since today’s world is so beauty- conscious. It seems as though a majority of the students at Central High School are striving for an improvement of some kind. Everyone is constantly trying to improve themselves even if it's done unconsciously. For girls that new outfit which flatters their figure, and all those trips to the make-up counter are a few ex- amples of the things done to help maintain that “put together look. For the guys those long, hard hours spent in the hot. smelly weight room, those sharp hair- cuts. the great fitting jeans and oxfords are all signs that prove they are trying to update their appearance. All of those trips to the orthodontist to get the braces tightened may seem like a hassle now. but think how much better straight teeth will look. Said Amy Park hurst, With all the flashy smiles these days. I see no reason to be ashamed of my braces. Another popular im- provement which may also seem somewhat of a hassle are contact lenses. However, it seems as though everyone is getting them these days. “Not only are contacts more asthetic, they're certain- ly better for my tennis game.” said Barb Lammers. Although it is said beau- ty isn’t only skin deep, if people think they look good and are confident with their appearance, they’ll be able to project a much more positive, optimistic image. •CIRCLES FORWARD ...

r Are you caught running home, grabbing a box of 40 Hostess Twinkies. in- dulging yourself with a six-pack of Pepsi and a bag of Doritos just in time to watch, of course, what else but the Brady Bunch?!” Even though you've seen every rerun at least 87 times, it still catches your attention! Why? We’ll never know. There's more to after- school life than that. Oh come on. Wake up and smell the coffee! You can busy yourself with school sports, student council, after-school jobs, shopping (everyone's favorite pastime, otherwise known as spending money) and exercising, yes, there are people who actually do that. But why? It gives me a chance to think about things that I usually wouldn’t take time for. I think that the physical aspect is just as impor- tant as the mental, said Tammy Felts. And of course after school is a time for lots and lots of social life. Oh yeah, it's also a time for that dreadful stuff they call homework. Homework, although most people dread it, is one of the many factors of high school life. After school is also a time to walk the dog, wash the car, or talk on the phone to catch up on last week's gossip which passed over your head. All in all, after school is a time of your own and a time to pursue dif- ferent opportunities even if it does mean grabbing for that box of 40 Hostess Twinkies, a six-pack of Pepsi, and a bag of Doritos — go for it! SURE WOULDN'T WANT to meet these guys in a dark alley, but it wouldn't be as bad to catch Chris Brevik and Mark Schlichting work- ing out at The Athletic Connection. Photo: B. Bargmann.
