' x What's on the walls, on the floor, and all that's in between can show the per- son that we might not see. he alls ay lt reflected the true personality of a person, It was where they slept, did homework, and worked out all their problems. A person's bedroom was their sanctuary. It could have been a separate place to show how you felt and what liked. Some were interested in sports, as their bedrooms showed. Take for instance Tim St.Onge, a sophomore. On the walls of his room he had posters and pictures of bike racers and bikes. On the closet door he had his riding and running clothes. Another with sports in mind was Danny Pyburn, a senior. His room was filled with soccer momentos which were a major part of his life. This included a wall size Gatorade banner. Others tastes were even centered around a unique object. Sophomore Sitting at his huge picture window, Sophomore B.G. McLain looks out over the backyard to watch his dog play in the rain. The window makes up a large portion of the wall. Because of such easy acces- sability to his room, McLain had unwelcomed noctur- nal visits from many friends. Photo by Margo Collins -gi0 f . Monique Hamilton centers her attention around MEN as the posters on her wall show. The five and one half foot corny clog belonging to Sophomore Julie Howell, showed her favorite food was more than special to her. While Junior Cathy Boucher's four foot Garfield cat showed that hard work at McDonalds pays off. Architecture was often the most major feature of a room. Take a room that was underground with a skylight above the bed into the room above. The walls painted purple and the floor white with purple splatter paint. The most unique feature though, was her closet door. On one side was a train of colored hearts, on the other side though, were many designs with her friends, signatures. Sophomore Tammy Vaughn definitely showed her room was a special place for memories as well as a different look. Bedrooms were like the people who live in them, every one was different. If we could have seen a person's bedroom we could have seen their true personality. by Samantha Mingus Walls f Wing 1 5
