ADD-A-BEAD NECKLACES dangled from many girls’ necks as they chose gold, pearl, lapis, jade or a combination of beads to create their own designs. Sizes started at 3 mm and graduated up in shapes and designs. ONE SET OF EARRINGS is not enough for some students. Two sets have had the most response, but some get brave and add a third to give more variety. Cassandra Glaspie has three sets of earrings while her sister Bobbie Glaspie sticks with two. A MOUTH FULL OF METAL is what Carol Gillis has. Since the summer she has been wearing braces to try to straighten her teeth. This fre- quently seen hardware is probably the most expensive and the least desired. SHOWING OFF THEIR prized possessions of finger hardware, these hands proudly display a variety of rings in different shapes and sizes. Student Life 23

Hardware needed, desired Hardware — a word used to describe articles used every day that are made of some type of metal. One type of hardware is the so dreaded and most painful braces. A metal mouth is a common tease name for the lucky ones who have been chosen to wear t hem. Meanwhile other students need hardware for their eyeballs. Those who can’t handle contact lenses or only need glasses for reading have had a wide variety of styles to choose from this year with the wire- rimmed facet cut ones being very popular. Smaller articles are the ever-so popular add-a-beads. These beads can break a person’s pocketbook very quickly. The cost ranges from 39 HARDWARE IS ESSENTIAL to Keith Fisher's mobility as he manuevers to classes in his wheelchair. 22 Student Life a | cents to $$$. A girl’s goal is to have as many as she can afford with every size possible. Rings are objects that are admired by all and often symbolize special occasions. The rings can be small and delicate like the most “promise ring’’ to the large, gaudy, boyfriend's senior ring that takes up the whole finger. The coin ring that is on many girls lists comes in styles to fit pinkies or any other finger. Both foreign and American coins have been popular in a variety of mountings. Some of these hardware articles are things students take for granted, things they can’t live without or just plain things on their want list. HARDWARE NEEDED for vision is glasses. Teresa Dickeson needs hers for reading pam- phlets available in the Counseling Center. treasured. dhe ESA National Merit Schokarship Progr

Getting here hardest part Getting here is half the battle. But it is one that must be fought five days a week. Students arrive on campus by several different means of transpor- tation. Those who have a license and their own vehicle seem to have it better. Many of them are courteous to their friends by giving them a lift. Others ride the school bus, better known as the yellow dog, or catch a ride with their parents. However, there are always those who just couldn't get it together in time to make the 8:25 tardy bell. Those line up in the office for a tardy slip. Two tardy slips equal one pink slip (disciplinary referral form.) Most students manage to scramble to class after telling everyone bye as the clock reads 8:24. One more minute and another school day is underway. EVEN THOUGH IT SNOWED, students still had to come to school, slowly but surely. The buses had some difficulties, but finally managed to arrive safely. SHERRI POOL AND Suzanne Morris discuss the weekend's activities as they walk from the parking lot to the school building. 24 Student Life WAITING IN LINE in the attendance office is a common occurrence since students must get their admits before they are allowed into first period class. Kevin Cashion and Scoft Snelgrove wait their turns. WHEN THE FIRST BELL rings, students reluctant- ly start to class. Four minutes later, the clock shows 8:24 which means one more minute and either the day begins or somebody is late to class.
