Time: January 9, 1987, 2:30 a.m. Fearure arrides for rhe yearbook due January 9, 1987, 7:45 a m Ploce: sirring groggy-eyed in bed wondering why I procrasrinored so long before I srorred ro wrire rhis fearure How, I ask myself, am I going ro wrire a fearure orride on procrasrinarion? A lighr bulb suddenly rurns on in my heod. I slowly ger myself our of bed and walk over ro my bookshelf ro ger a dicrionory Firsr, I musr find our rhe rrue meaning of procrasrinarion ro proaasrinare: p(r e-'kras-re-,nar,vb. 1) ro pur off inrenrionally rhe doing of somerhing rhor should be done, ro deloy. Hmmmmm, so rhis is whar so many people mean when rhey rell me rhor I om a rrue procrasrinoror I begin ro rhink obour all of rhe rhings 10—opening BOTTOM: MOE EMRJCH AND RON Seyler would r of her roke o Coke break rhoo srudy rher Economics TOP RIGHT: DEEANA COLUNS GETS AN offecrionore hug from Aoron Jones during o breok when rhe rwo could be fimshtng rheir homework TOP LEFT: FOREIGN EXCHANGE STUDENT EMILIO kodnguez would r or her roke o breok rhon conrrtoufe ro discussion in Speech rhar nor only I, bur orhers also pur off unril rhe lasr momenr. Doy, Ir’s o good rhing rhar I acrually decided ro do some work in Yearbook class by asking srudenrs rhe one rhing in rhe world rhey mosr procrasrinare obour. When asked whar rhey pur off unril rhe lasr minure, juniors Randy Lamm and Mike Hogan borh answered homework. Mosr Sandy High School srudenrs agreed rhar homework was definirely rhe mosr procrasrinored obour. Among some orher answers was Sophomore Nick Kern's, differenr, bur unique habir of purring off his morning shower unril ir gers so lore rhor he has no rime ro roke one. Donnie Eri felr rhar going ro Miss Ney's Speech class firsr rhing in rhe morning wos rhe hardesr rhing for him ro do and so he ofren procrasrinored. I also gor some feedback from Elecrronics reacher. Gary Curris. He said, Gerring our of bed in rhe morning is one of rhe many rhings I procrasrinare abour. I wair unril rhe lasr possible momenr and rhen hurry, hurry, hurry. Procrasrinarion — so I've finally found rhe rrue meaning. So many of us procrasrinare in so many woys, bur rhe arr of procrasrinarion is whar mokes life inreresring. Now, when did I soy rhis fearure is due? Oh no, Ir's 7 40, I only have five minures before ir's due. Bur wair, my social circle is calling. My fearure will have ro wair jusr a lirrle longer. Whar can I say — bock ro my old rricks ogoin.

A Car's Worth Is Determined 5y Its Owner Cors — rhey mean different Things ro all of us. To some of us a cor is o luxury rhor we ore very forrunore ro hove To others it is o necessity that we could not do without. For some people a car is nothing more rhon transportation ro school, ro the donee on Friday, or to the movie on Saturday night. To these people o cor is something handy ro hove oround. bur it is cerroinly not o necessity. To other people o cor is os important os breathing, eoring or sleeping It is o means ro get to work. Other people moy also count on these cor owners ro be dropped off or school, or picked up ond token ro work. At Sondy High the srudenrs fit in both categories. Almost 50% of rhe seniors interviewed hod cors ond 95% of rhose who hod cors were holding down port time jobs Only 8% of rhose surveyed hod port time jobs bur no cars When juniors were asked, however, why they hod o job in rhe first place, most responded, To get o cor When confronted with rhe question Did you get o cor because you needed it for work, or did you get o job because you wonted o cor? the overwhelming response wos rhe tarter Obviously, or least or SHS, the cor is o major port of having fun. Face it' Where con o student go in o cor that he can't go on foot? Up rhe mountain ro ski, ro rhe river ro swim. warerski or fish, to Porrlond ro go shopping or The Warehouse dancing. The opportunities ore endless Although getting ro ond from work seemed ro be low on the students’ priority lists, ir also appeared to be rhe only woy to get rhor oil important car!
