Friendship or True Friendship Friendship is the best of everything! Take a look at what exists within a true friendship — that is if it can be considered a true friendship. A true friendship con- sists of many different abilities — the abilities to show emotions toward one another, give advice when needed or asked for, to listen, and the abil- ity to understand or at least try to. But probably the most important as- pect within a friendship is trust. Without the ability to trust one another, the hope of a true friendship cannot even be consid- ered. The idea of a true friendship is to share yourself with another person — you yourself must be willing to be just that, a true friend in order to have one. These true friends party at a going away celebration. Want to Date? Step in the Right Direction They are required upon en- trance to public places. They are needed to prevent injuries and accidents. They are shoes. According to Webster ' s Dictionary, a shoe is an outer covering for the human foot, usually made of leather with a thick or stiff sole or an at- tached sole. Shoes are a major hit of the 1980 ' s because of all the var- ous styles and colors that are ivailable. Sophomore Tracy levenger said, I love wild- ooking shoes that stand out in i crowd. If one is interested in name srands, does Reebok sound ' amiliar? Reeboks are a nore popular highly-priced ihoe on the market for men ind women. I like ' Reeboks ' )ecause they are comfortable md stylish, said one DC stu- lent. Women tend to select he high-top version of ' Reeboks. Also, Reeboks nake comfortable running ihoes for people involved in ithletics. During the winter, comfort- able casual wear such as ten- nis shoes or boots are worn. Flats are a popular choice during the warmer weather. Also, bright colored shoes are worn at this time. In choosing a pair of shoes, one should consider comfort, the fit, and their purpose. Of- ten style and color are set higher on the list of priorities. So don ' t let fads interfere with a step in the right direction. Dating is an enjoyable pastime for many teenagers. Teenagers date mainly to have a good time and to get to know someone better. Some popular places for these dates are down- town Indianapolis, Greenwood, Union Sta- tion, Claypool Court, Ol- iver ' s, and The Olive Garden. Dating is going out with that someone special and having a good time, said Junior Wayne Hawkins. Some activities that students participate in during these dates in- clude playing putt-putt, seeing a movie, or just cruising. Dating to me means taking a young lady out and showing her a good time, said Junior Jessie Spears. Dates can be paid for by either boy or girl. Sometimes, students go dutch — each person pays his her own way. No matter who pays for the date or where the students go, dates will re- main in the high school tradition. cr o pa (0 Converse shoes are very popular in all various colors, even with bleach spots.

Summer Flicks Another summer has passed and one memory still remains with stu- dent: eating hot, but- tered popcorn while watching those summer movies. Several films were re- leased this summer in- cluding Beverly Hills Cop II, (which was ranked a favorite among a sampling of students), Robocop, Summer School, and Dragnet. For the young at heart, Walt Disney re- released Snow. White and the Seven Dwarfs. Also, the animated movie Masters of the Universe was released. While Junior Chris Tetrick liked Dragnet because it gave ' just the facts, ' Sophomore Kiana Fossett liked Bev- erly Hills Cop II because of Eddie Murphy, who she considers exciting and fun to watch. Movies are consid- ered entertaining by many and this summer ' s movies offered some of the best entertainment around. Live concerts were enjoyed dance at all concerts rose dra- by many music fans. Atten- matically. Love, Greed, Power, Hate Krista, you can ' t leave me! You owe me your life. I raised you from a little tramp on the streets to be- come a star. This might be a typical line from a soap opera. A random survey of students showed that The Young and The Restless was the most popular soap. This soap was a favorite with junior Angie Crickmore because It ' s ex- citing and you are always wondering what is going to happen next. Many people are die- hard soap opera fans such as junior Karen Weaver who has been watching Days of Our Lives for four years. Her reason for watching it: Because Bo Brady is good looking. The actor ' s or actress ' ap- pearance also had a lot to do with the reasons people would choose to be in some soap operas. Sophomo re Nicole Hodges said, If I could be in any soap, I would want to be in As the World Turns so I could be with Dusty. Students also admired the actor or actress for tal- ent. Mindy Lewis is my fa- vorite character because she is Rusty Shane ' s girl- friend and she is talented and pretty, stated junior Crystal Keenan. Many boys also tune into the soaps. I like the girls and the suspense on Days of Our Lives, stated junior Steve Wheeler. Boys also watch the soaps for the action. Junior Sean Ridge watches The Young and the Restless be- cause I like the deception and watching Victor throw people around. Soap operas are a pop- ular form of entertainment for D.C. students. They pro- vide the excitement that the news can ' t. So remem- ber the next time you ' re bored to tune in to the soaps. Gimme a Beat High school students are known to be great music fans. They listen to a vast variety of mu- sic and musicians. Be it country or rock, music plays an important part in a teenager ' s life. Hank Williams, Jr. seems to be a favorite of the country listeners. For rock, there are a few different catego- ries, such as soft rock — Whitney Houston, heavy metal — Bon Jovi, soul — L. L. Cool J., and for Pop rock — Marx, U2, and Prince. Country and rock stars go quickly in and out of style — However, there are a few that are timeless. The music of today has changed drastically from the be- ginning of the 1900 ' s, and the teenagers of this generation will have a lot to do with the changes in the future. Mini Mag

What the Stars Have in Store for You Many believe Astrology to be an infallible science (similar to astronomy). Others tend to be- lieve that it ' s pure nonsense. Astrology deals with the stars, pl anets, and planet movement. Many students at Decatur be- lieve in horoscopes, or read them anyway. One student said, I read my horoscope in the paper every day. It ' s just kind of fun to think you can know what ' s going to happen before it does. I don ' t think I really be- lieve In them. A junior student was asked about where horoscopes orig- inated and why they are still popular. His response: I really have no Idea. And who really cares? They ' re just interesting. It is said that the heavens are a large circle, which is di- vided into 12 equal parts. These divisions represent the signs of the Zodiac: Aries the Ram, Tau- rus the Bull, Gemini the Twins, Cancer the Crab, Leo the Lion, Virgo the Virgin, Libra the Scales, Scorpio the Scorpion, Sagittarius the Archer, Capricorn the Goat, Aquarius the Water Bearer, and Pisces the Fish. Individual birth dates deter- mine what sign a person falls under. For example, it is be- lieved by many that if one is born between March 22 and April 20 he she belongs under the sign of Aries. Aries people are said to be pioneers, ideal- ists, and the leaders of the world. They are inclined to start new things before finishing the old. These people are not at all consistent. However, Arieses are high- spirited, generous, and tactful. If born be- Tauruses are in need of creature comtorts. They enjoy home life and children. In business they are forceful, yet in love they are undemonstrative. They usually remain calm and self-controlled. Those born between May 22 and June 21 belong un- der the Gem- ini sign. Geminis are often flirts — along with being versatile, flexible, and changeable. These people are said to have turbulent minds, but they do remain charming and stimulating. So- cial success for the Gemini is assured; however, in business they must work. The fourth sign of the Zodiac is Cancer — birthdates be- ing June 22 to July 23. This is the domestic sign. These people are sensitive and easily hurt. They are very apt to worry, be nervous and fretful, craving change and ad- venture. In love, the Cancerians are loyal, very loyal. Leo, the next sign of the Zodiac dates from July 24 to Au- gust 23. These people love adulation, and if they don ' t get it, they imagine it. They have many mi- nor weaknesses and yet they still show strength. Leos are willing to give the utmost for those they love. They never stoop to anything petty or mean. Virgo, the sixth sign of the Zodiac, is an intellectual sign. Born between Au- gust 24 and September 23, the Virgo is almost always too crit- ical of himself and of others. On the other hand, he she is an excellent conversationalist, and usually very agreeable compan- ions. Born be- tween Sep- tember 24 and October 23 is the Li- bra, seventh sign of the Zodiac. Libras are sociable, happy, and often tal- ented and artistic. They love to experiment in life. Libras often give in easily on small matters, but still, they can be firm if needed. Between the birthdates of October 24 and Novem- •ynr ber 23 falls the Scorpio. Scorpio is the eighth sign of the Zodiac. Scorpio persons are very jealous, quick to anger, and hot for revenge. Many turn this great passion to hard work for a cause they believe in. If born be- tween No- vember 23 and Decem- ber 22, you are deemed a Sagittarius. Sagittarians are of- ten open, honest, and very blunt. Often these people lack tact, but they really are splendid people. Sagittarians are ideal- istic, unselfish, loyal, and un- derstanding. The tenth sign of the Zodiac, Cap- ricorn, born between De- cember 23 and January 20, is said to be a social climber. If born under this influence it is best to keep your feet on the ground — be firm, but not unwilling to change. Born be- tween Janu- ary 21 and February 19 are the Aquarians. Those under the eleventh sign of the Zodiac are people that give themselves to the world. They tend to be more interested in others than they are in them- selves. Aquarius people are very loyal and will make dependable husbands and wives. Persons born between February 21 and March 21, in the twelfth and fi- nal sign of the Zodiac, are the Pisces. These people are agree- able companions. They are of- ten too generous and as a result popular. They love beauty and the desire to attain. These descriptions are only representative. To discover the exact profile for one person, one will have to research deeper. Information taken from Astrol- ogy for Everyone By Evangeline Adams. Superstition: Fact or Fiction? Is there an answer? How many read the hor- oscopes every day? And, how many take tnem se- riously? How many wor- 2r about black cats? Lad- ers? The number 13? Yes, everyone seems to have some type of super- stition, and some even swear by their beliefs. Never wish an actor or actress good luck! Tell him her, believe it or not — to break a leg! In Webster ' s superstition is defined as a belief or practice resulting from ig- norance, fear of the un- known, trust in magic or chance, a false concept of causation, a notion main- tained despite evidence to the contrary. Senior Heather White stated, Say what you like, but my good luck charm always works for me! Melodie Prilliman, senior, said that, no — she doesn ' t necessarily believe in, well horo- scopes, for example; but sometimes they do seem to fit the situation. How do you explain that? Superstition is some- thing yet to be explained — until that time comes — look for those four leaf clovers, watch out for black cats and ladders, and, of course — FRIDAY THE 13TH! 14 Mini Mag
