Ossip and rumors What did The National Enquirer, lan- guage, and “‘Joe’s girlfriend” all have in common? Gossip! This favorite pastime was started long ago and is still going strong. Someone or something was always the object of con- versation, but, as Wendy Hamilton, sen- ior, said “It’s funny only until it’s about yourself.” Students passed time by telling the juicy tales of the day. Judy Thompson, senior, said, “You can find out who likes who, what’s going on over the weekend, and other things like that.’”’ Who could ask for more? Roy Booze, senior, would.
