A Friendship Token First, it was friendship pins. Then came “BEST FRIEND” necklaces. In 1987-88, one of the hot new fad items was friendship bracelets. Friendship bracelets were, naturally, given to friends as a to¬ ken of everlasting friendship and good times. They were handmade, some with several different col¬ ors, but most with only two. Made out of embroi¬ dery floss, the strands were interwoven and tied into knots that formed a thin little strand. Friends basically chose their favorite color or whatever matched their wardrobe best. “I made a lot of them this summer,” said Tricia Giberson, 11. This rage in friendship gear complemented outfits everywhere, adding splashes of color and a little variety from the traditional bracelet. Most of the students who wore these bracelets said that they never removed the bracelet because it represented that special link of friendship. Purse Preferences Purses came in all sizes, shapes, and colors. Some girls preferred small purses to carry just the necessities like pens and pencils; but, others liked larger purses to carry calculators, brushes, and make-up. Buying a high quality purse often meant spending about $50. Tight Fit—Latest Sportswear Colorful tights were the latest trend for athletic people. Comfortable and perfectly fitted, tights were casual clothing to wear for aerobics, dancing, running, or any other exercise wor¬ kout. During the cold pre-winter weather, tights helped insulate the body and break harsh winds. Having every coio. of the rainbow or just one plain shade, tights came in original patterns, rang¬ ing from the floral look to the grass design. Tights made athletes able to move easily and to look fashionable. As one track runner said, “If you want to run good you might as well look good, too!” Tights have changed the athletic scene. Cathy Dtmovski, 11, watches as Steve Lane, 11, shows how to make a friendship bracelet. Some stu¬ dents also made friendship rings and necklaces. Runners Mia Kozel. 9, Lisa Pasko, 10, and Amy Reid, 10, said that tights helped them when they ran outside in the cold weather Tights were stylish and warm. D Lacomtw 6 Outrageous!

Rush to Lunch to Wait “Three, two, one, buzzz!” Students rush out of the class¬ rooms on their way to the cafeteria in attempt to make it to the beginning of the lunch line. For some students it was a daily challenge to reach the beginning of one of the lunch lines, while others took their time and then had to wait for over half of the lunch period to receive food. Lunch lines were often long, and to hungry students, the wait sometimes felt unbearable. “The lunch lines were like waiting at the doctor’s office; you had to wait forever,” said Wayne Collins, 11. Quite often on C-lunch students would reach the beginning of the line and the lunch or snack that he or she wanted would be gone. “The workers in the cafeteria should have had more food ready, because they couldn’t be sure how many people would buy lunch,” said Shelly Horton, 11. After a student received his lunch, he then had to face his next challenge, finding a seat. It would sometimes appear as if the cafeteria was out of seats, but after looking closely students managed to find seats. Having only a few minutes left, the students quickly finished their lunches, but the bell would ring and they were out of time. 4A Tuesday without pizza is like a day without sun¬ shine. I’d never be able to cope if they changed their routine. I can ' t handle change,} stated Joe Hegyi, 11 . Waking Up Is Hard to Do % i It’s 6:30. Your alarm went off but you sleepily turned it off and went back to sleep “on accident.” You moan, groan, and finally get out of bed. You look at the clock. Oh no! You’ve got twenty minutes to get ready! You yank your wardrobe out of the closet and throw clothes all over the place and finally find something that would be decent to wear. You dash to the shower, towel-dry your hair, and get dressed at the same time. Finally, you grab your coat and books and run for the bus gasping for breath. BUSTED! “Busted,” yelled the crowd in the lunch line as the bustee walked, embarrassed and humil¬ iated, to the end. Trying to sneak into the front of the lunch line was something many students tried. In attempt to save time waiting and spend more time eating, students would slyly move in front of a friend. “If the lines weren’t so long, then I wouldn’t have to cut in,” said Don Or- ban, 11. 41 try to put off getting up in the morning on days of school, but when the week¬ end rolls around I can’t wait to get up and start the day,} said Suzy Kirby, 10. Some lockers were just not meant to be treated nicely Many students discovered that their lockers required a little motivation before opening Waking up in the morning for school did not appeal to most LC students Mindy Sikora, 12. finds it difficult to wake up after a long night of studying X ( utrageous!
