Students Cluster To Communicate I longing out is a strange phenom- enon and certainly hard to define. Each student has his or her little corner, whether it be at school or off-campus, where they can socialize with friends and have an easy-going conversation. The lunch area was an extremely popular place to spend lunch and brunch. Hungry students flocked to the lunch lines and afterwards clustered with friends to enjoy their meals. Many students traveled out of school bounds to hang out. Frequent trips to Stop-N-Go or Alpha Beta and some- times Bakers were popular among ranks of sophomores. Some sophomores, despite their crav- ing to be unique, hung out in the most conspicuous places. I hang out by the brick wall in the lunch area, proclaimed Chris Folsom. Susan Loonsfoot an- nounced, I sit on the benches with my friends. While many sophomores were trying to escape the confines of classroom walls, many students retreated back to the classrooms. Class council or club meetings were usually the reason for this return to the classroom. Despite differing opinions and ideas about hanging out, there was one major factor that motivated almost all stu- dents to hang out. Dianna Stevens summed it all up, I just enjoy the break from classroom routine, and I like to spend time with my friends. 1.

Judges Evaluate Flower Creations It ' s a virtual race against the clock. Only two short weeks are provided tor the clubs and classes to conceive of an idea for a float, create seemingly mil- lions of flowers, and construct the mas- terpiece. Much time and effort is invested in the production of a class float, and the sophomore class is no exception. It ' s painstaking work designing the float, gathering the materials, and making seemingly thousands of flowers. With all the work that goes into making the floats you would think that they were being entered into the Rose Parade. There is one very big hazzard that ac- companies the construction of the float; the commando raids instituted by courageous upperclassmen. Humili- ation their goal, they try to bomb the innocent houses with water balloons, and attempt to blast unsuspecting float makers and their friends with fire extin- guishers. When the last flower is folded, tied, fluffed, and placed on the bare chicken wire, there is nothing more the builders can do but wait to see how the ludges will evaluate their creation. Fortunately, the sophomore float fared well, placing a proud third place. We missed the as- pired first, but as the saying goes, just wait until next year. Jf 1.
