On any autumn Friday evening one place you’ll always find honest faces is the Highland cheer block, where the game score is easily seen. Helping out with a helping hand, Shannon Mathis knows Nancy Troxell will survive this latest mis- hap in what should be a good day. Potesta Ossello

Mickow Crissy Azar doesn’t know exactly what the day will bring, but she’s willing to give it the benefit of a positive doubt. Letting one’s hair down does an in- teresting thing — it opens up the face! And the faces look good on Danielle Smith, Todd Hilbrich, Kee- ly Moore, and Michelle Bosten. There’s no hiding happiness, as if anyone would ever want to! Senior Kathy Wood enjoys too much of life, and she knows how to show it! J UST IMAGINE how things would be if any time we tried to tell a lie we lost control of our facial muscles and our expressions went wild. What a world it would be. JUST IMAGINE a world where peo- ple were able to deceive each other through facial expres- sion, unable to hide what was truly inside them — because their faces wouldn’t let them. Things could be very interest- ing. Coming and going through Highland High’s corridors, we see people on their way to class, lunch, homeroom, etc. Each face we see may have one of any number of expres- sions — greeting, happiness, pain, concern, and sadness among them. But how many of these appearances reflect what really goes on inside? And if these appearances don’t show what’s inside, then what’s really there? Here are Mona and Marian. They’re really friends, but you’d never know it from looking at them. They walk down the hall scowling and frowning. It’s not that they do not like each other; they just like to appear to be on a mus- tard diet. Now if those two sour faces got tired of always playing down-in-the-mouth and decid- ed to take off on their own . . . well, let’s see. Here comes Mona and Marian again, start- ing their usual frown — but instead, their facial muscles just relax on them, almost to the point of drooping. Except, that is for the smiles. Smiles that draw their lips back and up to reveal great, white, shiney, slightly buck teeth. Maybe, despite themselves, people will see what they’re really like now — and like them better for it. Yes, it’s also true that we sometimes avoid hard feel- ings by using our faces to mask our true emotions and reactions. Yet if we ever de- cide to break that iron-clad im- age of ours and once in awhile try to wear our real life on our sleeve — and our face, then maybe some good things could happen to everyone who walks these hallowed halls. ★ Paul Hajdu I f faces couldn’t lie 10 Faces
