Show your real face What is a face? A face consists of many extraordinary features often expressing ones innermost feelings or wildest imaginings. For instance, eyes can reveal ir-resistable temptations whether they are beautiful brown, glamorous green, dazzling hazel, or those sexy blues! Expressions are also major attractions to one s face. Depending on the mood of a person, one may look extremely cheerful, utterly bewildered, or downright angry. From listening to a variety of Grant guys and gals, many opinions of attractive and interesting expressions were formed. GALS A smile is the expression that makes a face beautiful; it lights up a person’s whole face,” replied sophomore Leita Zupan. Beautiful faces show positive expressions, like Mr. Masaitis says: Some faces look like they’re smiling even when they aren't’,” declared senior Kathryn Stewart. Faces are ugly when people have their mouths hanging open a little bit and you can see their tongue just sitting there!” announced freshman Liz Larson. GUYS “An alive-looking face is attractive, especially in the eyes,” expressed senior Scott Miles. A face is ugly when one is really ticked off!” exclaimed freshman Andy Henley. Faces that show boredom are also ugly,” added freshman Ralph Shuping. Then there is junior Dan Nissila who chose to write an essay on the nose: The nose, for a few reasons, is very important in making a face interesting or attractive. First of all, unlike other parts of the face, the nose rarely changes; the mouth, eyes, and even the cheeks change according to the mood of the person who owns them, but the nose has a much more permanent look. Secondly, it is the focal point and often one of the most noticed parts of the whole face. Finally, what other feature of the face sets the shape of one’s side profile like the nose does? Not one. A relaxed Brad Reeves takes some time out in the sunlight. Karen Alexander, sitting on the sidelines, shows a rather perplexed face. Eyes bulging. Jay Harwell smiles for the camera. Greg Colter’s tousled hair enhances his natural look 16 Feature
