Marianne Bi-annual Event Entices Students I he dreaded day: registration. It ' s a bi-annual event in which the tempera- ture soars to at least 105 Celsius. 8:00 and I wake up, (at least 2 hours early) get dressed, eat breakfast and ask my chauffeur (otherwise known as Mom) to take me to school. Well, I get out of the car and walk towards the classrooms. When I get to the B building I get a lo t of forms shoved in my face. I run to the cafeteria and get my ID picture taken. I practically died when the man pressed the little button on the camera. I just know I had a dis- gusting smirk on my face. After that, I went into the gym and waited in line for at least 15 minutes. When I finally get up to the teachers, (sitting comfortably amid the chaos), they give me the cards and I walk to my counselor. He made sure my classes were suitable for my academic goals. I say goodbye to my counselor and waltz over to the door where I present my hard earned cards. They give my ID (unfortunately). I start walking out of the gym and all I can think about is how hard my classes are going to be. On the bright side, at least registration won ' t come again until next semester. 1. Taking a break from the endless stream of stu- dents, Mr. Hughes and Ms. Duff wait for their next prospective students. 2. Karen Tolley and Tina Conway look for an open class to enroll in. 3. Nat- alie Schmitz appears glad that she fulfilled all her requirements. 164 We ' re the Kids of America

Feeding Hungry Herd Isn ' t Easy •o far, so good. Here I am attempting to stand inconspicuously in this cute, adorable little white concession stand. Is it my imagination, or ore the walls clos- ing in on me? I think I ' m becoming claus- trophobic. Actually, it ' s not all that bad. There are delicious aromas floating in the air. I think I will hove gained twenty pounds just from inhaling the smells. Dribble, dribble, dribble, swish; then the roar of the crowd as the Rubidoux team makes another basket. It happens quite often, you know. Those are the same sounds I ' m going to be hearing all night. Buzzzz . . . Now it ' s halftime and here comes the inevitable stampede. It ' s not easy feeding the hungry herd of basket- ball fans; you would think they haven ' t eaten in a week, or maybe their moms are boycotting their culinary services. Sure brings in the bucks to us, though. What a relief, halftime is over (finally). Now the herd calms down and starts fil- ing peacefully back into the gym. Most of the crowd, that is. There are always those lingerers; the wise ones who try to avoid the rush. Then the dribbling and cheering starts all over again. I think I ' m going to go to bed tonight with those sounds ringing in my ears. Buzzz . . . The game is over and Rubi- doux wins — of course. Now I can really appreciate the concessioners at big sporting events. But, whew, what they have to go through. 1. Andrea Ivy seems shocked after an order of 12 hot dogs, six Cokes, and six coffees. 2. Smiting, Jorge Sanchei mixes cokes. 3. Counting money carefully, Michelle Lopez calculates the sopho- more concession profits. Sophc 163
