Whether it was wearing the wrong uniform on the right day or wearing clothes that clashed, many things were mismatched this year. Mismatches came from all directions. Guys wore dress shirts and bleached out jeans. Girls who chose to match that yellow and blue skirt with pink ' match When one thitngjust doesnt belong, nziisrnatelzes bring embar- rassing moments andfrowningfaees. From clashing colored socks put on in the early morning hours to wrong unyforms, mismatches commanded attention. and green paisley shirts fell right into fashion. Sometimes people meant to be mismatched. We were deciding on the uniform and it had both blue and yellow in it and when it came to deciding what shoes to wear, some of us wanted blue and some wanted yellow. Susan Schierman said we should wear yellow on the right foot and blue on the left foot so that's what we did, said junior, Vicki Mcilinty. All sorts ofmismatches occur every day everywhere. Mis- matches were accepted wheth- er for fun, on accident, orjust to keep up with the fashion trends. Whatever the reason, the year turned out to be a fun mismatch and sometimes ended up being the 5 perfect match. ,, . 'l-lllH0lQ K N '- . .f1sfs 4'i'-i'.'.'. f .' WI 'DPGQ av ourli walt!

-, istracted by what someone was saying ,Q to me, I didn't hear what unqform we Zz' were supposed to be wearing. S o I showed up the next day in the wrong 3'7 unq'orm. I thought I was wearing the right one, but I was wrong. It was pretty embarrassing because I had to go ahead and twirl in it. After that day it seemed like I was always wearing the unjorm, so I would just bring two or three to school and change here once I found out which one would be the correct one.

What started out as a joke soon became another fear. Seniors told upcoming freshmen myths with everyth- ing from how they would be left at McDonalds during lunch to pep club initiation day when they would need to sit in the water fountain and sing row, row, your boat to lettermen, as they begged for signatures. I was so scared when I first S Misleading Misleading expressions.

My brotherjack, who is a senior, told me all kinds of things. Hardly any of them were true so it's not so bad being a sophomoref, said julie Turley, sophomore. Students were led to believe many things by upperclas- smen, such as stepping on the Mr. Patriot seal located in Patriot Hall meant scrubbing it with a tooth brush. Seniors offered advice to sophies on how to pass tests given by pet teachers, only instructing underslassmen to study the wrong things. No matter what the situa- tion, what once seemed to be an on-target fact, usually turned out to be just a misunderstanding. ii? ii
