Photo by Angie Cook Body language Silence can speak - louder than words, especially when it's reinforced with body language, that uni- versal lingo that leaves little room for misunderstanding. Take a smile. It may be silent, but it surely isn't simple, for its meaning can range from l'm glad you're here when the appearance of a substitute teacher cancels a dreaded test to l'm glad you're gonei' when an unwanted suitor finally gets the hint. A smile can also indicate I know what you're up to as Principal james Smith spots a Big Mac. A point is equally versatile. It can denote the government's invitation, Uncle Sam wants you, a junior's class ring selection, I want this one, or an opponent's view of Ellis Bell's court prowess, He went that-a-way. A scared look can mean a senior lunch Silence beats words when body language reinforces the message skipper waiting to see Mr. Andrew Beavers, a tardy scholar approaching an Honor Society meeting, or a blue- robed senior walking across the football field for his graduation diploma. A simple yawn can mean I'm sleepy in sixth period geometry, 'Tm bored during homeroom, or l'm satisfied when the basketball team beats Ole Main twice in the same season. While silent expression is usally effective, it can go astray if the message is misunder- stood, senior Melissa Matthews said. One night I was on a date, and as we came out of a movie I happened to yawn, she recalled. Unfortunately my date thought I was bored, and he took me home early. -- By Karen Salmon Body language!25

Weekdays Most people call Sa- turday their favorite day, right? Wrong. Many look forward to weekdays that mean special lesson days or time to develop a special talent. Senior Gina Fortenberry's favorite day is Monday, for a very special reason. I know that I can always practice my 'Favorite' day is in eyes of beholder night. described as the classic night to go out to dinner and a movie or to just go out. Teresa Sliger said she loves Fridays because she can relax without the worry of school the next day or homework that has to be done that Friday is important because it gives me time baton on Monday because of my lesson in the afternoon, she said. I try to practice everyday because I need it to help me for my future in twirling. I look forward to Monday. Senior Steve Blevins said he enjoys Mondays because that is when he usually plays basketball at the Boys' Club. Another person jokingly said that he prefers Wednesdays because that is the day he gets to wash his socks. The most popular day of the week, though, seems to be Friday. That was and space to myself to use the way I chose to use it, she said. Sophomore Marty Koonce favors Friday also. I like Friday because everyone is full of spirit on Fridays for the pep assemblies and games, he said. Plus, the gang gets together on Friday nights to let loose and break from the regular routine of school. So while favorite days were different, each shared a common trait of specialness. - By Libbi Dixon ME TOO - I like Mondays because I enjoy playing the guitar at Young Life, senior Steve Blevins said. It gives me time to relax. Photo by Mark Donnell Favorite days!2 7
