They can do anything a breed left on their own Ordinary tasks become more dwcult for a leji hander. I have to com- pensate, thus, by overcoming obstacles I become a better person. eft handers were, in a sense, opposite from everyone else. Ordinary household objects like an iron and scissors became difficult to use. They did everything with an opposite hand which made them different. Sophomore Tracy Platts, a lefty, said that she liked being different than everyone else. It's my personality, she added. Left handed people had some advantages over right handers. Left handed Miguel Apezteguia said, Being a little different is an advantage. Ordinary tasks become more difficult for a left hander. I have to compensate, thus, by overcom- ing obstacles I become a better persom. I am opposite from the average right handed person. Dave Lewis said it was easier to do left handed lay-ups. Lewis added that left handed people were more artistic than right handers. Another left handed student Bridget Cox said, You get taught how to do something both right and left handed. When you try something new in gymnastics you learn how to do cartwheels and roundoffs both ways. Living in the mercy of a right handed world made it difficult for the minority lefties to learn new skills. Sometimes it was easier to learn it the right way. Platts said, When I leam to do new things like golfing or baseball I usually get taught by right handers, which makes it a lot harder to pick up. Because of that, I am a right handed batter and golfer. El People Left Handed Student mm Lone lefty. No one wants to sit by Miguel Apezteguia because of his jutting elbows. Exchange student Carlos Verone said being left handed helped him in tennis and other activities where he needed to use both hands. Other things came between left handers and right handers like eating. Platts noted that no one liked to sit by her when she had lunch because she always el- bowed them. Lewis added, It is difficult for me to open cans of soup be- cause I can' t use a right handed can opener. Apezteguia said he had trouble writing in a three ring note book. I get pencil marks on my hand when I write, he added. Some left handers refused to admit being out classed by any right hander. Lewis said, Left handed students can do anything as well as right handers . Upstairs in the library, he writes questions for an interview. left hand. Cox said she could do anything as well as a right hander except write. She added, But I'm working on it. Tracy Vercimak Turning troubles.

Psst! listen to this Gossip starts with one person and by the time it get around it is all distorted. rom locker rooms to telephones, from girls to boys, gossip was all around. People gossip for a number of reasons, but mainly to see what was going on. Freshman Melissa Purcell said, I do it because sometimes it's fun, and just to see what is happening in school and other places. Everyone gossips sometime. Junior Jamie Schmidt noted, People gossip Cabout other peoplej because they must not like them. Student gossiped with many different people, but mostly with close friends. They also gossiped about different subjectsg it just depended upon the person they were talking. Purcell added, I gossip with my friend and my sister about boys, and what is happening at school. Many people were hun from gossip. A girl wrote to the Seventeen magazine with this story: For months my friend Kathy kept telling me that Carlos, a guy on the tennis team, had a crush on me. I'd hardly ever spoken to him, but after Kathy said he liked me, I started looking, and then I developed a crush. I smiled at him a lot, but he didn't really respond. I figured he was shy, so last Friday I said, 'Hey, let's get some pizza after school. i He said, 'I'mbusy,' and walked away. Ifelt horrible. Now I find out it ws all a mistakeg Carlos never did like me. And now I'm mad at Kathy. E! m People Gossip Did you hear about... Between classes, Sophomores Patti Hicks and Stephanie Eyr catch up each other on the latest news. Sophomore Arlene Kelley said she was hurt also by gossip. The only effect gossip has had on me was it made me and my boyfriend breakup, she noted. Gossip angered many people es- pecially when stories that never happened or that should have been kept secret were reported. Schmidt noted, I don't like people to say rumors that are not true or things that aren't nice. Sophomore Paxton Powers added, I don't like it when people say things about me that aren't true. Freshman Michelle Nelson Said, The only way gossip has affected me was it made people mad at me because of something I said. Gossip had a different effect on everyone. Some people didn't care about itg others became mad. Gossip starts with one person and by the time it gets around it is all distorted, said Sophomore Hiedi Peterson. When bad gossip goes around about someone, people start to look down on that person. Gossip is sometimes bad, but sometimes it's good because it tells you what is going on, noted Senior Kelly Souther. Vicki Anson Face to face. With five minutes until the next class, Seniors Spinner Jones and Demiis Johnson theorize about a test.
