Lefties Wrong ' Sides Hinder Students ' Work Most of us think we are in our right minds but according to medical knowledge only left hand- ed people are in their right mind. That does not mean lefties don ' t have problems with utensils, fur- niture, school supplies and even door knobs. When I ' m writing on a spiral notebook, the rings get in my way, Ruben Morales, sophomore, said. Other school related prob- lems include right-handed desks, right-handed scissors, and right- handed locker doors. Teachers and friends say I make my check marks back- wards, Junior Rosemary Rivas said. Like many other lefties, she also has to choose her dinner part- ners carefully. If I ' m stuck eating between two people, I end up hav- ing to use my right hand which makes eating a little awkward. Beverly Brown, senior, has trouble writing on the chalkboard without standing at an angle. Journalism and English teacher, Mrs. Linda Rushing, also exper- iences board problems. All of my writing goes ' uphill ' , but I think it ' s because I am a ' positive ' per- son. How would you feel if you had to eat with someone who was sticking her elbow into your side? asks senior Beverly Brown. Be- ing left-handed has its disadvantages, as Beverly well knows when eating with ju- nior Joe Ann Stevenson. 32 LEFTIES

FADS ' Fashion changes with each new jeason in just enough time to have i the look that ' s in and fashionable. I look for the new and in styles, Senior Nicky Alexander said. iVhile Chris McKinney, Senior, liked ' preppy clothes with bright colored jhirts, sweaters, and pants which he could mix and match. Shopping for clothes is a must for most students to keep up with the fashion. A majority of the students shopped at least twice a month in Austin stores where they could choose from a variety of stores for the style of clothes they liked. Bar- ton Creek Mall is my favorite, An- gela Handal, Senior, said. A lot of the girls ' favorite store was The Limit- ed Express , where they could find something unusual and different. Any kind of Guess , Coca-Cola , or Corona brand clothes were hot this year for both guys and girls, while Liz Clairborne and Esprit were popular with the girls along with sil- ver jewelry, belts, and big accesso- ries. Guys preferred Levis, Jams, and Sergio Valenti. A good appearance is also an im- portant factor in fashion. Appear- ance is very important to me. Every- body should always try to look good. Angela said. Shannon Turner, Junior, said Fashion means to cre- ate a look, and look great in it. Of course, to complete the perfect outfit, students had to have the right dancing footwear. Roper boots were exceptionally popular this year, high-top aerobic sneakers in about 20 different brands along with colors and, of course, the black pointed-toe flats finished a fashion-conscious girl ' s ensemble. Junior Tracy Hargues wears true Texas-style fashions. O N THOSE, DANCIN FEET STl ' DENT LIFE 31
