Students found that playing games and riding ndes became quite ex- pensive. Photo by J. Torres Students attended the fair despite poor weather conditions, costly food and expensive games and rides The skies were gray, no sunshine in sight and a mist of rain fell on the fair. Some high school students, how- ever; decided to take their chances and brave the weather for a day of fun and adven- ture. Fair Day for some students was disap- pointing and the atmo- sphere made some stu- dents feel uncomfort- able. ' I didn't really like the fair because I didn't like the people out there and it was dirty.’’ freshman Christy Jones said. Some of the stu- dents felt the fair was a worthwhile event. I en- joy it because it is an annual thing and I get to see a lot of my friends and get out of school.” junior Rod Orta said. Games and exhibits were also a traditional part of the fair. I en- joyed blowing my mon- ey on all the games and looking at all the new cars,” senior Bobby Al- lison said. Some stu- dents went to hang out with their friends. I wanted to go to the fair to associate with my friends, while observing interesting shows and exhibits. senior John Bowdich said. The fair was a first time expe- rience for some high school students. It was my first time at the fair but. it was what I had expected. I liked the music and the rides and of course the girls.” junior Tom Grat- tam said. Students had various reasons for not attend- ing the fair. The weath- er caused some stu- dents to stay at home or find an activity inside to do. I didn't go to the fair because of the bad weather and instead I went shopping.” soph- omore Billy Harris said. The sky turned black, and the lights came on. Some high school stu- dents knew that U day at the fair w about to come tc close. The day f been filled with fun i adventures of gam rides, exhibits and course food. They w so glad that they I braved the weather i attended the fair. Gwen Lukner ■ S ® ENT LIFE • Fair day

r Pals for life Friends were a vital part of high school life They were confi- dantes. They were sounding boards. They were even problem solvers and most stu- dents found it impossi- ble to get through school without friends. While students had many friends, they had only a few close ones. ”1 have a lot of friends, but only a few close ones.’’ sophomore Cynthia Cruz said. Trust was often the ba- sis of lasting friend- ships. I only get close to people I can trust. Cruz added. While friends were as necessary as pencils and paper, they were also important away from school. I have a lot of buddies that I like to party and trip out with. We don’t neces- sarily have to see each other at school to be close. ' senior Rodney Jeffries said. While some students found school a good place for making friends others found best friends in their own homes. Friends at school don't mean that much to me because I like to be by myself and I have a brother to con- fide in. Jeffries said. Siblings often included each other in activities. My brother is my best friend because we are so close. Every time we do something, we al- ways include each oth- er. McFarland said. Although some stu- dents found life more bearable by having friends, others didn’t. I don’t think they (friends) are necessary, I don’t get to my friends because I don’t trust anybody but myself. junior Gunzalo Danger said.
