Totally oo! 1 Cool's a feeling, a statement, a state of being when you know what you're doing's right. It's knowing that you got what it takes and you're not afraid to show it. lt's knowing you're cool. Cool's also what's hot or in, like hot cars. This year's hottest cars on campus include these below: 1. 1987 Porsche 944- John Momtazee and Dan Theodoro 2. 1987 Pontiac Trans Am- Will Strong 3. 1984 BMW 325e- John Ridgeway 4. .1983 Chevrolet Corvette- Brian Suffian 5. 1983 BMW 633csi- Fred Kloecker Some other cool things around cam- .A pus this year as far as clothes go are Nike, Reebok, and New Balance high tops, preferably white. Another piece of clothing which is popular this year is the braided or woven wrist band. They come in all different colors and pat- terns and are worn singularly or in a bunch, usually on the left wrist or an- kle. It's also fashionable to wear jungle fatigue pants, complete with ankle drawstrings and multiple pockets down the legs, but Friday shirts and jerseys are always cool. The right music includes everyth- ing from rock to rap, punk to new wave. The newest and best kinds of rock includes Def Leppard, Rush, Yes, and Aerosmith. On the top of the rap charts are Run DMC, The Beastie Boys, and L.L. Cool J. For punk, it's the Dead Kennedys and the Violent Flemmes. However, if your're leaning toward the new wave side, it's the Psy- chedelic Furs or R.E.M. We clon't want to skip the cool classes. Some of the coolest classes among the upperclassmen are Animal Behavior, Neurophysiology, A.P. Physics, A.P. American Gov't, English Ill, and Anatomy, Finally, some of the cool places to eat lunch during school include Gras- si's, McDonald's, Snapps, Jack in the Box, l.ion's Choice, Hardee's, and the cafeteria when they've got hoagies or toasted ravioli. These are the in things to clo. But there are many more, such as blue jeans, and jean jackets, ear rings and Rams horns shaved in the head. There's playing cards in the senior lounge or sitting for tea on Wednesday afternoon. What's cool then? Well, if you have to ask, then it's not it. lt's an attitude. Will Strong, '88 iw. l y I What's more cool than seniors, Friday shirts and football jerseys? Not much!

46 Free Periods All students face the problem of what to do on their free periods. Some of the more studious students choose to go to the library and have some peaceful study time. While there are pros and cons to this, the library is generally the best study area in the school. Students can also go to the commons, upper or lower schools, or the AV room to study, although these tend to get noisy or distracting. Many students choose to get help from their teachers during their free periods, al- though this option is not quite as com- monly used. The art department lets students come down to the art room to work on their projects during free periods, and many students can be found .there throughout the day. Another area fre- quented is the computer room, where students can work on homework or just discover new computer things. One option that almost every stu- dent takes advantage of being able to eat lunch during free periods. lt used to be than an entire class ate at one time, family style, but most students like it better now. For the seniors, there is the option to go to the senior lounge, or to leave campus for a while. Although these options are open to seniors only, offi- cially, many juniors do these things, risking detention in the latter case, and execution in the former. There is always the snack bar to hang out in, or the gym, or just sitting in the benches on front of May Hall. Phillip Senturia, '88 Many students study or work on computers during their free periods. Although it is quieter in the library, it is also stuffier.
