6 We are JAMMIN1 You clueless bunion head! TGIFood! I'm up a creek! Call them words, phrases, expres- sions! 95% of the world's population is guilty of unwittingly dropping these humorous phrases into everyday conversation. It can't be helped! Hairstyles, clothes, talent, and music . . . our own personal expressions. Styles borrowed from Paris, London, and New York are incorporated into everyday streetwise dressing by St. Teresa's students. Asymetrical hairstyles and big bows can be seen from any point on campus. Appearance is a great way to express personal taste and flair. Styles of clothing are not the only thing borrowed from London. Boy George, David Bowie, Duran Duran, The Police, and many others have created songs that have become very popular on STA campus. While many enjoy listening to music, others like to create their own. St. Teresa's seems to have a surplus flow of talent. Whether she is a flutist, pianist, vocalist, tap dancer, actress, artist, writer, tennis player, track runner, or ballerina, each adds her own bit of flavor to St. Teresa's Academy. In the years to come, personal expressions will be fun to remember. Memories of them are recalled by a letter or signature — often by a yearbook.

. . . im-presh'en Was it the impression you were so worried about making orientation week or was it the impression you made on that special someone Prom night? Whatever your impression of the school year, it consisted of unforgettable memories. Memories ranging from the confusion of the new computer scheduling to our 1 basketball team to being ranked as one of the top 60 high schools in the nation. Impressions are an important part of your high school years. They are a part of you. They are your sensations, feelings, notions, conceptions, and views. An impression reflects many other things, also. Impressions of STA reflect the attitudes toward our school, our faculty and administration, and our student body. A common first impression of STA expressed by many is GIRLS! Girls, young women, of different shapes, sizes, and personalities crowd the campus during school hours. Yet, each one is individually a part of the community and each contributes her own unique talent to the school. All of these talents added to- gether is what makes up St. Teresa's Academy. The impressions are strong and they are good. Remember the great impressions you made during that long, but fun week of orientation, freshmen year? Making your appearance at mixers sophomore year and finally becoming an upperclassman junior year are certainly other important highlights of your high school years. Yet, you don't seem to get that same great satisfaction as you do when you're finally able to say that one most important phrase that im- presses all: ”1 am a SENIOR. Remembering. The good times, the bad times, the times of the 1984-85 school year. 5
