B35 37 Bs well as initials were also Bopmiame YLLEK,:% “| AD ROSS I,’ Stas Ne G-WELL,”’ “GINGE S$” were popular among the parking lot cliques. Names apparent- ly were the most popular, since most of them were not taken, and easier to decide on. More innova- tive individuals thought up the plates “YA KINO Wee FOR YSOR, SAUER Zo Ol2CRUZ;.” I FUN FI,” and “2 TOADS.” These were the individ- uals who dared to be dif- ferent in the license plate fad. Having a diverse [es hae amount of plates within the school allowed a sense of individuality to pervade throughout the system. While some stu- dents received them as gifts, some purchased them at a cost of $30 ini- tially and then $l0 extra annually. Since no two were alike, they were unique in many ways. The most unique facet about | them was the fact that anyone could obtain one and place it on their vehi- cle. Whether it was a “draggin wagon” or a “sleek sedan,” it still add- ed a superior status to the vehicle. APR © Virginia: ANTIK: EE

Censored: Love or Lust? Times have changed! Rela- tionships have taken a new place in the halls of Midlothian. When school started, relation- ships were few; however, after girls and guys “scoped” out the prospects, relationships bloomed just like the flowers in the spring. Although there were many kinds of relation- ships, they basically fell under four main categories. The first category was the “extremists.” These individ- uals found hugging and kissing in the halls very desirable, even at 7:30 A.M. They also found themselves inseparable, meeting each other after classes, eating lunch together, and sometimes even schedul- ing classes together. This category not only contained the long term veterans, but also a few newcomers on the relationship scene! Couple number 2, was the less risque, the “‘lessers.”’ These people still hugged and kissed in the same manner as the ‘extremists’; however, they performed the routines with less enthusiasm and exu- berance. These people were committed, yet public displays of affection were not as impor- tant to them as it was to the PUPPY LOVE SEEMS TO QUENCH THE APPETITE of this “‘lesser’’ couple as they enjoy a tranquil 25 minutes to- gether during lunch. HOW CUTE! These ‘“‘casual daters”’ lean against the wall hoping the teach- er on hall duty will not invade their “spot.” “extremists.” These couples accepted their relationship in a laid-back fashion. The “casual daters,’ the third group, are those who will never exchange class rings. These individuals were found meeting only occasionally after classes. While kissing in the halls was permissible for them, few actually engaged in this activity. Committment was not on the minds of these individuals; only short quick flings were involved. This group consisted of shocking combinations of couples, re- vealing the short term of the relationship. These were also the individuals who “snaked” on each other at parties and never furthered the confron- tation (the one night stands). “One-sided affairs’ were the last kind of relationships. While the others dealt with love, or so called “love,” this one mainly dealt with lust. These were the people who worshipped their heartthrob from afar. Sending notes, fol- lowing their heartthrobs in the halls, and arranging meetings were very popular for this group. The lasting quality of high school relationships was defi- nitely unknown. However, the special quality of these rela- tionships would never be for- gotten. (Notice: no names were mentioned for the sake of reputation and posterity!)
