1 love my Mickey Mouse lphonel, bin my boyfriend broke its arm off -junior Rynda RMEEE N EW Telejblzmzes allow .s'ludenl.s' to relay important messages. fter school, the favorite pastime for students was gathering and exchanging important information by means of the telephone. Break-ups. make-ups and just whatever that went on dur- ing the day were the main topics of conversation. Occasionally a student would try to call a friend for the latest gossip. but was unable to reach them be- cause the line had an annoying buzz which meant that gossip was already being shared. Gossip wasn't the only informa- tion being shared. Friendly talks or advice between close friends also went over the lines. Talking on the phone often gave neaking in a Conversation. Senior Tony Yates takes advantage of an opportunity between classes to use a pay phone. Four pay telephones are located on the campus to enable students to make emergency phone calls between classes. the chance for emotions to be ex- changed. Although crying on someone's shoulder through the receiver proved to be impossible. sharing feelings made people feel better knowing someone who cared was listening. Sometimes we cry about a situa- tion because it makes us feel better, stated junior Tina Humann. Then we discuss the problem. Parents had their own way of say- ing that their son or daughter had been on the phone too long. You were born with a phone glued to your ear. or Do you think you could pull that thing away from your ear long enough to do your homework? were among the hints parents gave students. The telephone was definitely a big part of students' lives after school. Whether major events were shared. serious feelings were expressed or students just gabbed, they were always on the telephone.

Mr. Moore, having taught psychology at Moore High for 17 years, made the morning announcements a daily ritual. if not an institution. of the school for 13 years. l was the senior sponsor before l did this, and l always had a lot of announcements to make, said Mr. Moore when detailing how he in- itially took the job as school spokesman.

Mr. Moore had tried on numerous occasions to resign from his posi- tion. The announcements, he ex- plained. created many problems for him. He had to walk the distance between his classroom and the central office, and the announcements took time away from his second hour class. Although some didn't pay any attention to them, a majority of the students found the morning announcements to be informative and sometimes amusing. I love the music that is played, and I like it when he reads the menu, said senior Tim Hansen. lt tells me again that I should eat out.
