Student beauty aids - the aggravations go on If eyeglasses did not exist, if curl- ing irons had never been invented, and if braces were just a figment of someones imagination, there would certainly be a lot of partially blind, stringy-headed, and snag- gle-toothed people roaming the halls of Senior High. Many students took for granted all the accessories they used to beautify their appearance or to help them in some other manner. Junior Melanie Raper's dependence on her curling iron was strictly a matter of habit and security. My curling iron doesn't really do any goody it just makes me feel better and secure, Melanie said. Both students and teachers relied on these various aids. A large number, if not the majority, of teachers wore glasses or contacts. I couldn't teach without my glasses, English teacher Elizabeth Hardy said. Using the aids was by no means fun and games. Long hours of wearing bulky curlers and repeated cleanings of smudged glasses were obstacles that some people wished they had never had to face. The first few days of adjusting to new braces were especially painful. When l first got my braces l didn't think l would be able to stand them for two years, sophomore Carmen Coley said. The dusty autumn atmosphere was extremely bothersome to contact wearers. My contacts have really been bothering me lately. Some times they are just a pain! senior Ashley Tulloss said one autumn afternoon. Practically every student depended on some sort of aid, whether it was an expensive 1250-watt high powered hair dryer or a cheap pair of dime store sunglasses. Suzanne P. Dix ,Z D.
