T----------------------- . PEAKING WITHOUT WORDS If you ask anyone how they communicate, they’d probably say by “talking”. However, has it ever occurred to you that body language dominates vocal communication? Body lingo is often used without consciously realizing it, although these subtle gestures say things much more effectively and may reflect true feelings, no matter how hard you try to disguise them. Body talk doesn’t lie. No matter how energetic you may want to appear, slouching behind the desk, chin in hand, is a dead giveway that you are feeling the effects of the previous weekend. Or, what about when someone catches your eye and you do a “double- take”, making it OBVIOUS that that someone is worth reckoning. Finally, picture this: Friday, noon, you’ve just discovered you have totally blown a test. But you aren’t as concerned with that as you are with your hot date that evening and you are all smiles, and it shows. All of these things are examples of how bodily mannerisms give away true emotions. -Lori Scott Confusion and frustration overtake Cathy Drzewiecki while she is on the phone during the play Pajama Game. 18 Student Life

Your room is one of the only rooms in the world that you have total control This picture shows the aftermath of a rushed morning in a typical teenage girl’s room. In contrast to the above picture, this room is neat and orderly. over. Depending on your parents, you may have total control of the decorating or just stand by as the new wallpaper your mom fell in love with goes up. Even if your mom chose the bedspread and carpet, it can still be identified as your room because it is inevitable that you’ll leave your mark there. Whether it’s the photos of friends you have nicely framed and arranged on your bedside table, or the smelly sock that is STILL hanging from your curtain rod, it’s your room. Your Room 19
