Sweet Face O’ Mine Everyone has seen a funny face at one time or another. Did it cheer you up when you were depressed? Did it make you laugh in the middle of En- glish class while you were taking the final test on Macbeth? Can you still pic- ture in your mind’s eye the best face that you've ever seen?

Or the image could be youinamirrorona wall as you thrash to the newest Me- talli ca album in the privacy of your own bedroom. You can just blame that one on James Hetfield and company. No matter how you look at the faces, they do serve a purpose whether you know it or not. Simply because a few have been mentioned here, don't for- get that the majority are done for the fun of it. — Bobbie Jo Clawson Ivory Fields is given a few helping hands in por- traying the monster, Syila, from the Odyssey.

Piggin’ out with Robin Gaines! Some shirts just beg to be noticed, as is the case with this screamin’ bright pink pig. The question that plagues Wally Sanders and Ms. Sauder the most — ‘‘Where was George?” Well, that question might not have been answered in pee but as of January 20, 1989, he’s in the White ouse. “Feelin’ groovy! ’ Susannah Gordon's tie-dye tee-shirt seems very appropriate as the colorful shirts once again become the thing to wear. “It's them dang raisins! ’ Some students, such as Freshman Sammi Ruley like to wear the ever- popular California raisins just like the ones on T.V.!
