T.iving it up Fair tragedy no damper on spirits Whether it was eating, playing games, riding rides or going through buildings to get free samples, the fair offered a variety of activities for a variety 4 of people. The fair was a bit different for most people this year as far as the rides go. Because of the accidental death of two patrons as a result of a car falling from the Enterprise . students were more careful about which rides they rode. “We rode the ones that looked like they were safe, said Cindy Asensio. We were analyzing every ride because we didn't want to die. We didn't ride anything where the cars were separated. If students didn’t feel safe on the rides, they could go through the haunted houses or see the freak shows. But these acivities weren’t met with much praise. The Haunted House (at the end of the midway) was the worst thing at the fairground. said Candy. The kiddie rides were scarier than it was. We went to see the turtle woman, but it was so stupid. said Martha McIntyre. It was just a woman’s head with a turtle's body. You could tell it was an optical illusion. Meeting friends played a major part in the fair, but even that didn’t work out all of the time. “We met some friends and walked down the midway, but then we lost them,” said Cheryl Allison. We were going to watch the Dr Pepper Circus, but it had already started by the time we got there, because we had spent so much time looking for everyone. I hated this Fair Day.” Even though the fair had a variety of things it just didn’t meet everyone’s approval. The fair has really gone down the drain. said Martha. Everything was too expensive.” said Cindy. But the Fletcher’s corny dogs were worth it.” -Short Stodghill Lisa Newsome throws dimes at dishes while Stephanie Coulter and Bryan Banks look on.

Living it up Students give opinions on best, worst If you like It lunch, pizza. Coke. Now ’n Laters. Forester Field, blue jeans, En- glish. Town East and lockers on the first floor, then you’re in the majority. Out of the lunch periods. D lunch was definitely thought of as the worst. “By the time D lunch would roll around I’d bestarving, said Chris Johns. That’s just too late in the day. If you're a Pepper it might not be pleasing to find out that Coke was the favorite soft drink among students. But it might make the Pepper’s happy to find out that Coke also was the least liked drink. Coke is just too sweet. said Chris. “And you can't drink it very fast.” Jolly Ranchers were the most requested candy sold at the DE store while Spree was the least liked of all the candy sold. I hate Spree. They're too sweet on the outside and too bit- ter on the inside. said Lauren Mayborn. “But 1 love Hawaiian Punch flavored Jolly Ranchers. They're not like all that other regular stuff that DE sells. As far as clothes are con- cerned blue jeans were the clear winner for the favorite attire of students. They’re scuzzy and they’re comfortable,’’ said Naomi Robinson. By wearing jeans I can dress quickly in the mornings. With dresses you have to put on hose and heels and it’s just not worth it. Other opinions that stu- dents gave were pizza as the best lunchroom food, the mid- dle as the best place to sit in the lunchroom. Town East as the favorite shopping mall. Forester Field as the best football stadium. McDonalds as the best place to go after a football game and the first floor as the best place to have a locker. -Sheri Slodjjhill i iir i, 'ii, nn U • ii, • n »l XI •■■ I '«I, rU„j 8 s,nd( 0nt '■if,v
