We're proud of The craze from the Cabbage Patch A popular item that came out on the market this year was the Cabbage Patch Doll. The dolls were approximately sixteen inches tall and had yarn hair and outstretched arms. However, these few details were about the only things that they had in common with each other. Every doll had computer-designed features, including detailed fingers and toes, making each doll as unique as the live babies that they represented. Every doll came with its own birth certificate, adoption papers, and disposable diapers. The Cabbage Patch Dolls created a sensation at Christmas time. People went so far as to stand in long lines through frigid temperatures, rain, sleet, and snow in order to buy a doll. Stores stocked their shelves only to have them quickly emptied, many times in less than an hour. Several stores reported cases of stampedes and even damage. Thousands of people knocked over displays and even each other to get a doll. Grown men snatched dolls from the hands of little boys, and women and children were knocked to the floor. These reports seemed to in- dicate that shoppers would do almost anything to get a Cab- y ' bage Patch Doll. L9Ves Senior Angie Bowsher said, They are adorable and unique. MOM 8r DAD It's neat to say, 'I have a Cabbage Patch Kidf I doubt that I would go to such extremes, though. I would like to congratulate my daughter Annette Theresa Bachmann for always making me feel proud of her. She was selected for member- ship in the National Honor Society, along with many other good things she has done. She owns her own car, works at Safeway and plans to go to Baylor College.

Kelly Laurie Me and You You and Me, Friends We Will Always Be! How J.V. Students Hope to Finance College While mulling over local newspapers and magazines, one thing is evident, the falling economy was being felt nationwide. The effects of these penny-saving times created devastating situations for today's college-bound students. The concern with many teens, is the skyrocketing cost of a college education. Freshman Karlin Banning has plans to go to college, and when asked how she hopes to finance it, she confidently said, Parents, of course! Senior james Cooper has high hopes for a scholarship. With federal grants and loans being slashed, many learners will be forced to postpone college. Michelle Long replied, It's my only way into college! Sophomore Kelli Adams firmly agreed. But did we really feel that a decrease in the number of college bound today was a reflection of our economy? A whooping 9896 of those surveyed did! Freshman Tommy Shelton exclaimed, The situa- tion of our economy is the pits! Senior Rhonda Black added, No one is coming out well in the long run. junior Albert Arechiga stated, Kids won't be able to go to college because there is really no way to finance it unless you get a good scholarship. Sophomore Mike Espendola laughingly said, The ideal situation is to be awarded a four-year scholarship to the college of your desire. Aline and Laurie Friends Are We and Friend We'll Always Be. Together We Will Cheer, So Faithfully, Cheerleaders We'II Always be Until We Meet Again. ,, ....,,,,w,mmwuw lv ' M ES? ?'!iK-N
