Mouring-Pack 'Being new frightening, exciting Language, dress code different, breaking into 'in' crowd diffici Reprint from The Haltom Image, January 19, 1982. Hi, my name is Jill Luna, class of '82, Many people don't know me because I am fairly new at this school. Being a new student can be a scary ex- perience. Coming here has been hard for me to adjust. Most people don't think too much about moving 'cause they stay in one place most of their lives. Everyone must experience being new at one time or another in his or her lifetime. Moving has been pretty hard for me this time because as I mentioned before, I am a senior and I miss my class. By the way, I came from Ohio. Yes, I come from the northern part of the U.S. Things are very much different there. First of all, people talk with a southern accent, which I am starting to pick up. I came from a big city where most people talk slang such as What's up? or Straight up. When I talk, lots of people tell me to repeat myself because they can't understand what I am saying. Boy! I thought that everyone spoke the same kind of English, I guess not, 'cause I don't understand some of the Texas dialect either! Styles of clothes are different here also. In my school people dressed up a lot. Mostly high fashion or designer clothes. The girls wore clothes like in the fashion magazines such as 'LVogue,' or GIamour. Guys wore clothes that we would call GQ like dress shirts, skinny ties, Bogarts,'I pleated or baggy pants. Sure, people wore jeans, but they were either baggy jeans or designer jeans. Here not too many people care what kind of clothes they wear. Levi's are fine with me! I felt so funny when I came to school here with pointy toe shoes and skinny heels. The first place people would look at are my feet! Being accepted is really the hardest part. Everyone wants to be in the IN crowd. I find that many customs and fads have to be learned and changed in order to be accepted in the IN crowd. The best results are to be yourself. Being a new student has been a fun experience for me because I have learned about many new styles and actions about people my own age. I've learned things that I didn't know existed. In my lifetime, which has not been too long I've been to lots of places in the U.S. I have lived in New York, the big applef' Chicago, Hthe windy city, Puerto Rico, Utropical paradise. Can imagine 95 degrees on Christmas day? I e saw ole Santa in his red bermuda shorts. He great legs! As all can see, I have been a new person m a time. I could say I'm used to it, but I'm nc still freeze up at the thought of moving ag But, I love it. I wouldn't change any of it nothing in the world. Being new is frightening at first, but it's an citing and different experience each time. M. friends are to be met. Some are everlas' friendships. I still keep in touch with this gir New York that I've known since sixth grade. also fun to get letters from all those places th call home. I still get homesick, but eventually I over it. Oh, I forgot to mention one place I live Texas. Of course, I live here now and love ' plan to settle down here for awhile, but x knows, I may be on the moon some day or ma Mars, Jupiter, Saturn . . . people already tl' I'm from outer space anywayl Kathy Mouring Billy Murphy Neil Murphy Ronald Murrell Steve Mylius Teresa Nabors Sam Nance Mark Newman Ricky Newsome Carrie Nobles Kim Norris Lynnita North Melanie Nowell Chris Onley Dianna Orrick Dennis Ortiz Gary Osborn Sherri Osmon Derrik Overcash Tammy Pack 44 SENIORS
