In today’s world there are many things that are built for right handed people only. Take school desks for example. How many desks do you see built for ‘‘lefties?”’ Notebooks, notebook paper and scissors are just among the many things that ‘“‘left- ies’ have to cope with awkwardly, in everyday life. Andrea Timley, although she is not freshman, said that left-handed, she thought playing ball would be hard to do if she was left-handed. Janice Moore, also a freshman, agrees that writing is hard for left-handers. She also adds that playing video games can be hard if you are a “lefty.” LaTrese Shines, another freshman, said that playing baseball is hard for a left-hander. Michael Grant, senior, said, “Driving a standard shift is hard if you're lefthanded.”’ Juana Cherry, a Kelvin Darrell McElroy (9) Geraldine McGirt (10) C.

Morgan (9) senior, also said that although she is right- handed, driving a stick shift would be hard. Alan Green,a sophomore, who is lefthand- ed was asked, ‘‘Has anyone ever tried to change you to be righthanded?’’ His answer was, ‘Yes, my girlfriend. She tries to change me to be righthanded because she says it (being lefthanded) looks ‘af- flicted’. Tony Ridgeway also a tenth grader was asked the same question. His answer was ‘Yes, by classmates because they think right is right.'’ Douglass Fraley, junior, said, he’s right-handed but he believes that the hardest thing for a left- handed person to do is eating beside a righthanded person. Lisa Flagg, a ninth grader, said ‘‘although I'm not lefthanded, | believe the hardest thing for one of them to do is play sports. ’ Junior Alfreda Thomas said, ‘‘I figure that a left handed person can = anything a righthanded person could lo. ” “Lefty” Anthony Character, sophomore, fights for elbow room with right handed Tracey Eason, sophomore.

Deteutiou: the teacher 2 revenge “Oh no, | made it again, the second time this week. Rats. ’ ““Me too, can you believe it, and it's Mrs. Wimberly's detention too.” “That's the worst ending a day could have.” ‘‘Ain't that the truth.” Detention, especialy the ‘‘official’’ deten- tion held by Mrs. Wimberly is one of a high school’s typical organizations. Mrs. Wimberly holds detention for tardiness and her detention is longer and stricter than in- dividual detention held by teachers. Terence Reynolds, a freshman, said the worst thing about detention is missing the bus and having to walk home. Rachel Stewart, also a freshman, agrees. Jimmie Duncan thinks the worst thing is waiting to get out, and the fact that Mrs. Wimberly's detention is stricter and longer. Other problems found were having to be quiet, and having a teacher you don't like. Ferrell Ragans, a sophomore, compares Mrs. Wimberly’s hour to the teacher's fif- teen (15) minutes. He also said you have to stay in for things like talking and tardiness.

Janice Evans thought staying after school is the worst thing about detention. Seniors even have detention, and they agree that staying after, missing the bus, and having to be quiet, are all the worst thing about having detention. Students in Mrs. Wimberly’s afternoon detention wait to be dismissed.
