Just when you thought it was safe... We Got Ya! mile! You’re on Candid Camera.” “Oh, no! Not you again!” In the beginning of the year, there was peace. Students gathered around the school in familiar places to enjoy those all-important moments be¬ tween classes and during lunch. Time was spent making social contacts and ex¬ changing stories and gossip. It was al¬ ways the best time of the day. And then, the photographers struck! Students discovered that it was not safe to hang out just anywhere unless they were willing to be photographed. Those reluctant to have their picture taken tried to hide in the cafeteria, the library, or the smoking areas. But, the camera’s penetrating eye sought them out. Reactions to the appearance of an eager photographer, camera aimed, varied from hiding your face, like Allen Wilson, to the shocked surprise of Yolanda Wilkinson. Others enjoyed the attention and smiled pleasantly and some even waved frantically for attention. “Get me! Get me!” they shouted. Given hundreds of assignments, photographers were instructed to get candid shots whenever possible. The majority of the time, students coop¬ erated, but there were those moments when “Smile! You’re on Candid Cam¬ era” resulted in some classic reactions and some interesting pictures. “Don’t take my picture” protests Allen Wilson as I makes his way down the hall between classes. Eager to have their picture taken, Kevin Cohen, Jim Harvey, Alan Glover. Kim Chiaramida, Pat Wooten, Kevin Siemann, and Scott Bridegam “ham it up” in the cafeteria. A smiling Joe Doege leans against the wall as a persistent photographer gets a shot of his “Spike.” One way to avoid the camera is to turn your back on it. Joe Cianciolo and Kyle Olson ignore the photographer as they discuss weekend plans. Candid Camera
