A I realized at the beginning of my sopho- more year that I acted like a freshman when I was a freshman. — Rob Sturma Getting stuck on the ice in my little blue Pinto with no traction on my way out of the parking lot while the entire school honked at me so I would move and let them go home! — Kelli Mehler Right before Christmas vacation I went shopping at the mail. I was talking to one of my friends and walked right out of the store with a magazine I didn ' t pay for.

OLICIES BORED TO DEATH, Courtney Diggins passes time during lockout in the cafeteria. — Z?e Se xc , ff LATE TO SCHOOL Trials of Transportation Coming to school at 7:00 in the morning is never fun. Especially if you miss your ride. Ever try walking to school in 20 degree weather? Even when the weather is warm you have to find a way to get to school - if you can ' t get there, why en- roll? The majority of the Clay upperclassmen either drive to school or catch a ride with a friend. Problems can arise when the driver or passenger is late. Senior Maureen Butler drives four people to school every day and says, The one bad thing about having to drive other people to school is that when you ' re already a late person, it makes you even later. Maybe those that complain HURRY SCURRY . . . Juniors Bryan Zubler, Greg Mueller, and Joe Moody are seen here racing the clock. ought to ride the bus. not everyone can catch a ride with Mau- reen, or drive them- selves and live too far to walk. Although many students abhor the idea of riding the bus it is comforting to know there ' s a ride if you need one. Junior Willie tieiden drives to school and says, I wouldn ' t ride the cheesebox if it were a free ride to school. NOT LOCKOUT! Mixed Emotions on Policy A new tardy policy was put into effect this year to combat the large number of stu- dents disregarding the tardy bells and coming to class late. The poli- cy of locking out stu- dents who couldn ' t manage to be on time has been received with mixed emotions. Sophomore Lynn Vavul expresses the feelings of many Clay students: ' I can ' t stand lock-out! I ' d rather be in class than lock-out. Lock-out does have some good points. Late students are no longer disrupting and delaying class time, and students are mak- ing more of an effort to be on time for fear of losing credit for work done in class. The fact that some students have been purposely late to avoid class is upsetting, but so far lock-out has worked well. 6 ' V-- SERIOUSLYI Freshmen Jen- nifer Ladd and Lisa Harwood are out of control.

»i REM, The Smiths, Squeeze, Beastie Boys, and Motley Crue Music Beat A person ' s individuality can be expressed in many ways. A distinct style is something most people strive for. This style has many outlets — per- sonality, appearance, and the things a person may partici- pate in, or enjoy. Music is one of the many different ways peo- ple express themselves. By walking down the hall- ways at Clay one can tell there are several types of people that listen to different kinds of musics. Motley Crue T-Shirts are to be seen everywhere. Souvenirs of the 1987 U2 Con- cert are also quite prevalent. There are many who enjoy listening to tunes on the Top- 40 charts. These are the songs that are popular one week, and absent from the charts the next week. These students are content to listen to their ra- dios. fleadbangers — fans of heavy metal music — are quite common here at Clay. These students like groups such as Motley Crue, Cinderel- la, and Poison. Senior Stew McLinda and friends, better known as Stew ' s Crew, are dedicated followers of Motley Crue. Rap music is a form of street music popular with some stu- dents. Somepopulargroupsof this category include Run DMC, the Beastie Boys, and L.L. Cool J. Classic rock is music that has been around since we were young. Groups such as the Beatles and the Doors are listened to by most everyone. New music has become more and more prominent In todays music scene. Groups such as the Smiths, REM, Echo and the Bunnymen and r ' iew Order are attaining a lot of at- tention.
