est Game in Town What ' s the most important gome ployed in high school? Football? Basketball? No! It ' s boyfriend girlfriend strategies. No rules, no referees. The truth of the matter is, said senior Michele Martin, When you have o boyfriend, you don ' t want one. When you don ' t have one, you wont one. ' ' Others disagree. Junior Neva Pavlicek said, I enjoy having someone to talk to other than girls or my parents. Garner is more than a boyfriend; he ' s like my best friend. Long distance relationships are also common in Dickinson. Senior Becky Burwell soid her phone bill is outrageous as her boyfriend Derrick lives 58 miles away. They shore a huge gas bill, too, she said. Jealousy was mentioned as the number one reason against long-term relationships, along with dependancy, someone always getting hurt, fights, losing touch with friends, boring, money spent, and one person being more serious than the other. However, the arguments for a steady companion included someone to have fun with, to go out with, to be more than just a friend, and someone who understands. Also mentioned was o sense of security shored. Apparently the pros outweigh the cons, as the game con- tinues day after day, year after year ABOVE: Junior Chris Bennett playfully bites sophomore Jomie Heffron on rhe neck before school starts Sophomore Sarah Jones smiles slyly os she pins senior Chris Jenkins to the Seniots Jimmy Mecheloy and Kris Klocmon are rudely interrupted by a locker photographer while discussing weekend plans .. 26 Student Life
