DEG De ee “If I didn’t have to come to school, I’d. get up, make my bed, hit the mall and not come home til it closed.’”? — Shaundra Aills, junior. By Suzanne Moye ou can’t believe it. Shock. A big fat “F” marks the failure of your essay paper. You carefully make your way up to the teacher’s desk and ask “Why?” She looks you straight in the eye and says “This paper shows a lack of thought and is sloppily thrown together. How do you plan to go to college if you can’t even write?” You look terrified. The essay seem- ed passable when you turned it in, even though it took a whole lunch period to write. But she’s not finished. “School is a place to better yourself and learn, not a social event.” You ponder the thought. Do school and education have some sort of vague connection? Is it possible, that after all the times you thought the biggest worry in English was finding out who was dating whom, that there was something more. Is she right? This thought has probably crossed every student’s mind at one point in his school career. During school, learning played a large role in a student’s life, but after school was a different story. Friday “OH, WHAT MAMA doesn’t know!”’ “Cooter”? Brown, D.J., set the mood for dancin’ and romancin’ at the annual PTA-sponsored Homecoming Dance in the Community Center after the game. — Lance and Lori, Mama knows now! Special times, special friends afternoon, as books were thrown into lockers, a sudden transformation took place in the students. Slowly, the figure of a teenager took shape as the evening approached. The good stuff had started. The first few months of school, football games entertained loyal students for less than $2. Cruising down Richardson Drive Friday and Saturday night passed the minutes, and parked cars in the K-Mart park- ing lot showed signs of the weekend. Larry G’s was a popular spot to whit- tle away precious hours whether play- ing pool or just checking out the scam. Movies were another enjoyable way to spend time and money. For those who wanted comedy, “Back To the Future” and “European Vacation” were offered. Then, of course, everyone turned out to see “Rocky IV” with Sylvester Stallone. For some students, VCR’s and McDonald’s fries were the limit. Or, maybe, others went on a Saturday night date to Hunan’s in Longview. But, no matter how students spent their time outside of school, they always spent it with special friends making special memories. Student Life
