At First Glance T he empty hallways holding memories of past school days, now begin to hold a new year of memories. On August 28 the first full day of school resumed. The doors again were open prompt- ly at 7:35 to welcome students back. Excitement filled the air as we reunited with friends, lockers, teachers, and homework. This was the time to redecorate lockers with pictures of friends, magnets, funny cartoons, mirrors, or anything to brighten up the day. This was providing that the locker would even open. Then it was off to first hour to see classmates, and talk over how the summer was spent. Also to find out how many friends were in the class. Who did you know? Who didn’t you know? Did you have assigned seats? An annual tradition, teachers distributed student handbooks. The new policies and changes were called to attention. Students were told of a new, strict tardy policy of one trady, one detention. Some students did their best to fight this policy and felt it was unfair, making attitudes worse towards school. New fashions in clothing were seen as students dressed even better. Designer jeans including Jordache, Sergio Valente, Bon Jour were worn with boots and blazers as well as the perrenial t-shirt and tennis shoes. But school was still school; a place for furthering education. With summer gone but the memories still alive, it was time to turn ahead for a year that you can now relive by taking “a little look longer.” ▲ Over the years, buckling of the gym floor from moisture and improper construction cau- ued dead spots, requiring the new floor. -4 Challenged by the Whiting team, cheer- leaders, fans, and cheerblock showed that when it comes to spirit, the cheer was “We’ve got it all!” School Opening — 17

Dating can be hazardous to your health W e will never really know who in- vented dating, for he probably hid his head in shame for inventing the most dangerous sport since boxing. Dating is not all it is cracked up to be. Listed are some of the harzardous conditions you will face if you should decide to accept that first dating invitation. One hazard you might face would be that fateful decision of what to wear. Never, under any circustances, should you wear a blouse with long, flaring sleeves. Why? If your date should happen to take you to a cozy restaurant, he will probably sit close to you with any luck at all. This could cause problems if he happens to rest his elbow on your sleeve and you end up trying to eat with the wrong hand. Another disastrous choice would be to wear tight jeans. Do you think your date would be impressed when you split the seams of your new $40 designer jeans when you sat down? If you should decide to wear a shawl or a cape, watch out! Can you imagine ▼ Jack Schuring and Cindy Troy find time in between classes to see each other and to talk about what they’re planning for the weekend. wiping your mouth on your clothing in- stead of your napkin? It wouldn’t be an enjoyable sight. Another possible problem could be deciding what to eat. Never order salad. The lettuce is never cut into small, bite-size pieces, so in order to get a bite into your mouth you would have to smear dressing all over your face. Never order fried chicken. Trying to eat chicken in front of your favorite date can be quite embarrassing. If you try to eat it with your fork, you can’t control it. If you eat it with your fingers, you will really have a mess. If you have ever tried to wipe greasy fingers on a paper napkin, you know what will happen. Now comes dessert. Do not eat chocolate cake. If you decide not to heed this warning, please, do not smile! Chocolate covered teeth are not attractive. If you are eating any hot foods or desserts, be careful not to burn your tongue. Second and third degree ▼ Dave Balog uses the well known technique of whispering sweet nothings to keep the atten- tion of Kris Cody at the ’60’s dance. burns of the tongue are not easily treated. If you should happen to burn your tongue don’t start to desperately gulp water from the pitcher on the table. That would be sure to send your date to the nearest exit. Perhaps the worst hazard of all dates is the blind date. Do you ever know what to expect? Suppose you go to a friend’s house to meet your date. Your friend answers the door then tells you to sit down and brace yourself. Then you meet your date. He comes down the stairs with a paper bag over his head. This is because every time his little sister sees him she goes into shock. This is just one example of a lousy blind date. Another way to tell your date is going to be a bummer is when he has eaten three bags of popcorn, downed six large cokes and the movie hasn’t started yet. So, unless you will be prepared to spend the entire evening on the floor- board of the car, hiding to save your reputation, avoid blind dates. Seriously consider the points covered because it is for your own good. Dating can be hazardous to your health! 18 — Feature
