From day to day we are constantly in a tug-of-war of what our teachers and parents want us to do versus what we want to do. Is there ever a school night when we lie down to go to bed and not worry about the homework that we didn't finish? Or how many times have we sacraficed our weekend plans to eat those dreaded family meals with Uncle Billy Bob and Aunt Elle May from the hills of Kentucky JUST to please our par- ents? Shouldn't it be our turn to win this game? Teenagers need their hangouts, their best buddies, and the kind of fun that only teenagers can have. What else are memories made of? Who wants to spend all their time at home with their parents breathing down their necks? Just getting out of the house is good enough whether it's going to a friend's home, attending a movie, or cruising the streets, McDon- ald's, or the shopping mall. Countless hours can be spent walking from store to store at the mall creating a wish list that is larger than Imelda Marcos' shoe closet. Who else helps us through those trying teen years but our buddies? We walk with them through the halls, write notes to them in class, talk with them on the telephone, sit with them at lunch, go out with them on the weekends, and share our entire life's stories over a Pizza Hut pan pizza on a boring Saturday night; that is what a friend is. A boyfriend girlfriend is all that plus with the added spark in every ro- mance. And who says with every teenage relationship is only puppy love? Remember Romeo and Juliet? Having fun doesn't need any expla- nation. Teenagers certainly know how to laugh, be silly, or wild any time or any where the need arises. As a mat- ter of fact, the need quite frequently arises. And a lot of the time teachers are well aware of this fact. Sometimes though they don't look at it as a fact but as a nuisance. And no one ever said being a teenager was going to be easy. No one was right when no one said it wasn't going to be easy, but with our special places, our special friends, and our special kind of fun, being a teen- ager is all the better. — Buffy Newton Our Places, Our Friends, Our Fun — 15

Ten Little Indians Thrills Audience Excitement, mystery, and suspense were in the air on November 13 and 14, 1987, as the class of 1988 pro- duced one of the most successful Sen- ior plays in a long while. Directed by Mrs. Sue Nelson and written by Agatha Christie, Ten Little Indians provided true entertainment for the hundreds of people in the audience. The play was set on an island in En- gland, connected to the mainland only by the daily milk delivery boy, played by Ed Kump. The owner of the house on the island had called togeth- er a motley crew of ten people, with one thing in common — they were all respnsible for the death of another person. The discovery of their common ground, as well as the discovery that no one actually knew the man who had brought them all together spurned uneasiness in the guests. This, together with a rather disturbing poem found to describe the deaths of ten little Indi- ans, proved to set off a string of mur- ders as descibed in the poem. The guests were then forced to fend for themselves, as the delivery boy had been ordered not to return to the island for a few days. Accusations were wildly flung, cumulating in the so- lution of the mystery. Overall the play was performed su- perbly, its cast overcoming various setbacks. Congratulations to the cast and crew of the 1987 senior play! — Andrea Muirragui Mr. Justice Wargrave. Mike Ryan, ponders the mysterious murders, while Emily Brent.
