I'm so glad I came to school today. I figure, I'd rather flunk the test today than stay home and worry about flunking it tomorrow. I'm passing out these papers so you can take them home and work on them over the week. For those of you who like to wait until the last minute, you can shove it in your books. Well, how was I supposed to know my journal was due? I wrote it down two weeks ago!! An A- is only an A with an overextended line. I feel so educated after ll P.E. Mrs, Fujimoto not only has a good ear for noise, but a good nose for mochi crunch. The bad thing about sitting in the back of the bus is that you get a headache waiting for everyone to get out. g.gg, ,'1,.',l' ,,,q. a P A A A'A As long as I'm ripping off food, do you want a burger, pizza, or Hawaiian plate? The period right after lunch is the one I always go to sleep in. Teachers must think that their students are enrolled in only one class - theirs! Don't they realize that we have five other classes to worry about too? What time does this period end: 1:37? They expanded the time between class so we can be on time, right? Then how come so many teachers expect us to see them afterschool at 2:3O? That's 60 seconds to get where we're supposed to be! I don't think of Fridays as school days. How can God make such beautiful people like me, and then sin us with homework? How do I maintain a 3.5? Well, I get home, eat, take a shower, go to sleep, get up, eat, go back to sleep . . . ackety ack

A few freaked out -on the make-shift band singing only later to applaud when the Concert Glee boys, dressed in red rubber noses, sang Santa Claus is Coming to Town. We dreaded playing the hookey- pookey blindfolded, then auto- matically joined in with the rest of the Varsity Football Team's quack-quack, waddle- waddle parade. We impatiently scanned the clock during that last session of orientation activities. Yes, we thought we understood the importance of involvement. And yes, ibut you jf itj, we knew that a better high school life would result from active participation in every- thing extra-curricular that the school has to offer. But it was only later that we found, the first time we scaled a mountain, took off our shoes in a sleeping bag in the middle of Keku, or held the spirit spear up high, that the stalefchildish orientation motto, Take risks, make A, be popular, was indeed a phrase worth living by. -Pua Smith l - .
