COU-PLEs fkupflsi n. 'l. anything joining two things together, bond, link, 2. a man or a women who are engaged, married, or partners in a dance, etc. -That is how Mr. Webster de- fines couples. -But this is how the Gunderson Grizzlies define couples: 1. falling in love, making-up, breaking-up, new couples: old couples, starting-up, finish- ing-up, walking hand and hand, talking hand and hand, oneness: twonessp 2. sharing, caring, fighting, helping, listening, understanding, cry- ing, laughing Well . . . where do you want to go? Oh, l don't know, there is a good movie playing at the centuries, let's go there! For a first date, many Gunderson students lc prefer a movie overall. A movie gives me a chance to get to know him. lt's a time for us two to talk, says Leslie Manzanilla. Oakridge 6 and Century Almaden are the theatres closest and most used by Gun- derson students. There are many alternatives for a guy and a girl on a date. Many of the students find parties as a good place. lt lets the couples be together and with their friends at the same time. Other big hits with couples are to go dancing on a Friday night, like to Moonlighting, or just to go shopping on a Sunday afternoon to the mall. - lt doesn't really matter to me where we go, as long as we have fun together. says Rico Rodriguez. That was a comment made by a lot D of students at Gunderson. But not just Gunder- son students feel that way. Alot ot c'ouples en- joy the companionship, the laughs, and the sharing with each other. Before anything, l think laughing has to come first. If you can laugh and have fun, it makes everything easier. says Shari Popkin. This is so very true. Can you imagine going on a date and not being able to laugh with your date? 1 Next to the couples is the singles scene. The ' usual singles go out into groups to movies, par- ties, or a night of just dancing. Many people 3 prefer being single. They enjoy the company of ' their friends overall. -Heather Culcasi Seniors Marc Bowen and Stephanie Davis catch a romantic moment at her grandmother s beach house at Rio Del Mar. i Junior Scott Chapman and Sophomore Lori Folla proved homeworkcan't be all that bad, when you have someone there you care about to help you -.,

df' Waking up in the morning is a hard iob in itself. Fighting for the bathroom and sqeezing into a space in the mirror is hard too. Then, you drag yourself to school and sit through six hours of classes. So now it's time to go home, do homework, and rest. Yeah sure! There's hardly ever time to rest anymore. Work, work, work. Whether it is working at Nordstrom's or volunteering at the hospital, there's always a iob to be done.'But that's good. No matter haw old you are, there's a iob for you. And working can be fun. You meet new people,you getodiscounts, and you get money. You also get more respect from your parents and peers. But there are other iobs. .lob's don't necessarily mean you get money or help people. What about the people who participate in sports? lsn't what they are doing ajob? And the people who perform in our school play's. They work hard too. They simply don't get paid. But a lot goes into what they do. They get a reward in the end too. lt takes determination and sometimes a good G.P.A. to get a iob. Lately, a lot of com- panies have required a 3.0 to even apply for a iob. Although this may seem unfair, that's the way it goes. And to be in extra-carricular school activities, you must have a C aver- age. But now, it is easier for students to get jobs. Equal Opportunity Employers give us the chance to get a job that would normally be offered only to an adult'f. Not only is working a way to get money, but also away to learn. So if you don'tihave a iob, maybe you should start looking. One small problem. Now you will have to fight to get week-ends free. Oh well. Good luck! Heather LaVigne y whom f but smile? does it well. What are you smiling at? Well, it looks like Marci Fritz really likes what she's doing. With new uniforms and better at- titudes at Alpha Beta, who could help Alright, maybe working at K-Mart isn't as glamorous as working at Nord- strom's, but it's a job, and Brian Ross ft , W.,
