mmm Good Grief It's The Duke ometimes it's hard to say what causes friendships to form. lt's often because of a shared inter- est. That's definitely the case with ju- niors Kevin Stead, Brad Terry, Mark Neely, Sean Pierce,,David Evans, Julie Crump, and Virginia Shields. Brought together at first because of the classes they had together, this crazy sextet plus one soon discovered that there was a lot more fun to be had than just terrorizing their teachers every day. Lunch time, an opportunity for friends to unwind, proved to be a much antici- pated time for the group to make plans for after school and weekend activities and of course, an impromptu food fight or ceremonial trash canning.. When they discovered that they all consid- ered John Wayne, the Duke , to be a great American hero, it gave them an excuse to get together, watch old Wayne movies and pig-out on fast foods. Wayne's simplistic solution to problems through the use of brute force and the idea that the good guy always wins is the group's religion. Evenings of movies and marathon Twister games often deteriorate into loud and obnoxious behavior, ending with the usual belching contest, in which Sean, the ripper literally brought down the house with his highly developed and offensive talent. The la- dies of the group always protest the crude behavior of the guys whose motto is pig-out until you barf and do it on a friend , but they do enjoy the company of the fun loving group. Weekends usually find the group to- gether studying for exams and doing homework. All of that mental exercise provokes the need for a quick game of smear the queer on the front lawn. Their junior year has been both hard work and fun. Only time will tell what their senior year holds in store for them. Will it be caps and gowns or straight-jackets? l N ...-.sn.xglbstel70s , j .
