Rochelle Odonnel, Gino Oesterblod, Aoron Olivorno, Berntno Olson, Olson, Ortega, Denis Naive Have Fun Upon Clothesline A, Lre you one of those naive fresh- men who thinks that hanging out is to attach yourself to a clothesline? Well, I ' m sorry to say, you ' re wrong. You don ' t know anything about being hip, and if you don ' t learn anything soon, boy are you going to have problems. So sit down in a chair and read this helpful list that shows you: How To Hang Out. 1 . Cruise down Market Street on your ten speed Saturday night. 2. At brunch, your fifteen minutes with which to do nothing, lean on something such as a locker. Everyone else does, so you might as well, too. 3. While in a boring class, put your feet on your desk, your hands behind your head, and go to sleep, 4. Disguise your dirt bike as a motorcy- cle and ride it to school. 5. During lunch, go to the arcade where everyone else important is and pick out a machine. Go up to it, put a quarter in the money slot, and start playing. (Pac Man is a good one to play if you don ' t really like video games. All you do is swirl the little stick around.) With these bits of advice, I hope you finally realize what hanging out and be- ing cool really is. If you haven ' t learned anything, well, have fun on the clothes- line, it 1. Birds of a feather flocking together are shown as freshmen cluster together during lunch. 2. Shar- ing a private joke, Carl Dingman, Adrian Lucero, and John Gotten lough aloud. 3. Kristie Wansa and Paulette Prescott are just two of the many video addicts ot Rubidoux. 187

Myths Disillusion Freshmen Esteem A I Vs a freshman, you sometimes run across people who have stereotyped all ninth graders as losers. Of course this isn ' t true, but some folks believe it any- way. Here are a few of the common myths about freshmen . . . ) . All freshmen are stupid: This is prob- ably the biggest lie ever. Being the new- comers, they don ' t know very much about what goes on at a high school so, naturally they ask questions. They ' re iust curious, not dumb. 2. Freshmen don ' t know how to act: This is also untrue. Although a few hyper people do run around screaming and yelling this does not mean everyone else does. Some freshmen are even less boisterous than people in higher grades. 3. Freshmen dress strangely: Another myth. They dress in the same fashions as any other person (with the exception of Halloween dress-up day; but what ' s wrong with a little school spirit?) 4. All Freshmen are short. This is posi- tively and completely untrue. Except for a few Guiness World Record holders, most ninth graders are of average height. The list of myths goes on and on, and they hove one thing in common, none of them are true. Freshmen, I hope that you realize that not everyone thinks this way. And, the people who do, well, you ' re wrong. •A ' 1. Leslie Brown helps a friend locate his next class. 2. Leslie Rayas, olong with two friends, expresses her disbelief at some of the myths about fresh- men. 3. Freshmen show the comradeship that of- ten exists in friendship.
