S A Y I'N G S In the Webster's New World Dictionary, the word sayings is defined as “1. the act of one who says, 2. something said; esp., an adage, proverb, proverb, or maxim,—saying is the simple, direct term for any pithy expression of wisdom or truth. Sayings can also be described as those things which are told to a person that can become annoying. There are particular expres- sions that some like to say and those that some can't stand to hear. Have you ever felt that your mother thought you were stupid when she told you to dress warmly because it was cold outdoors, even though you were well aware that it was ten degrees below zero? Or have you ever found yourself being given the same old lecture by your parents when you asked for a ride to school — “I had to walk four miles to school in any weather so it won’t hurt you to walk for once. Sayings . . . we’ve all heard them a million times, if not over and over in a day. They usually come from Mom and Dad and this is what they say ... M Do you want me to slap you?” Where did you lose it?” Do you think money grows on trees?” Shut up before I give you something to cry about!” This is going to hurt me more than it is you.” “I hope your children are just like you.” “Just wait 'til I get you home! Do you want me to give you some homework?” “Turn off the lights; we don’t own an electric company. Close the door; were you born in a barn?” You’ve had enough fun for one day. Everyone is going to be there. You're not leaving the house until you clean your room. Well, when I was your age ... I told you so. Are you crazy? Look at me when I talk to you.” If I told you once, I’ve told you a hundred times. Do you have to go to the bathroom?” Do you hear me?” Because I said so.” Cindy Stuemky, Kim Locke Mrs. Hobbs, Mindy Hobbs, Charlene Horinek

For fast accurate information many students turned to man's best friend . . . the telephone. The telephone is used for various reasons—getting rides to school, having boyfriend-girlfriend talks, finding out Saturday night plans, or if one needs, conferring with a friend. Most families go through two to three cords a year, trying to reach that bowl of melting ice cream left on the living room table or trying to reach that homework on the bed, while still talking on the telephone. If it weren't for school, students would use the tele- phone more than they realize. A person really doesn’t realize how much time he spends on the telephone until someone yells at him to “hang it up. A person’s time spent on the phone may vary. One may spend ten minutes on the phone while others may spend up to an hour. The amount of calls made may vary from person to person. Some make up to six to seven calls a day while others make only two or three a week. Those students sometimes take it for granted, but the telephone has become a necessity. Without the tele- phone a student’s communication line would be discon- nected. ... reach out and touch someone. Jill Ford Kelly Reed, Terry Perkins 7
