Without a thought, without a care, some people . . . ct on impulse A Homeroom period has started, and it ' s looking like a great day. Finding that ten dollar bill in the desk, didn ' t hurt. Neither does the fact that three of your teachers are out, and the substitutes look fresh out of college. But, wait a minute . . . there is calculus homework due at the beginning of class. Think fast . . . need an When you are in a good mood, it ' s easy to act on impulse. When seeimg a year- book photographer, a group of seniors impulsively reacted. These include: Michael Tisdell, Carol Hilscher. Shelly Goebel, Shelley Pribyl, Christy Thur- mond, Renee Heibel, and Diane Garza. Diane Garza reminds Carol Hilscher that the pass is to go to the central of- fice, not talk on the telephone. Making an impulsive phone call will not always get one in trouble, but it could. Acting on impulse is just one of those things we as human beings do. Richelle Martinez, senior, enjoys a chance to get away from schoolwork and have a little idea . . . wait, where ' s the nearest genius? That ' s it! Copy off his paper while he is busy doing something else. But wait, is that the teacher getting up? Can I see you at my desk for a minute, and bring your things. Acting on impulse can be a risky business sometimes, like trying to copy someone ' s homework at last minute, or trying to leave campus during lunch. And yet, acting on im- pulse is not always a risk. In fact, it can be really funny. The problem with acting on impulse is that it can go either way. It ' s a 50-50 chance, a toss of the coin, a roll of the dice . . . If it works, you ' re a person who can think on his feet. If not . . . you ' re in an awkard position. Acting On Impulse — 21

Physics, Trig, Foreign languages English seem to be some of our . I ost difficult classes , and E ' M. It ' s that time again, time for your most difficult class. You wouldn ' t mind going, but you get so much homework and the tests are so hard that it really depresses you to walk into the door. It could be Algebra, English, Science, or History, but it doesn ' t matter because they are all difficult. As you walk into the door, you let out a sigh knowing what you are in for. Algebra is my hardest sub- ject, said Douglas John, freshman. The tests and the homework are just too much. I don ' t really like Science all that well, said Michelle Delesma, freshman. My teacher really expects a lot from us. History is my last class; therefore, I am tired, and I tend not to pay attention; therefore, I am always behind, said Mar- tha Ramos, freshman. Paying attention in class is a good fac- tor that will help you more. Under- standing the material covered, and ask- ing questions will sure make your most difficult class seem easier. Anthony Kitchens makes sure he understands his computer math assign- ment, by first trying to solve the prob- lem himself. Computer math is an elec- tive, and may be taken either a whole year or one semester. Mrs Mary Ann Parker makes sure each assignment is understood carefully by her math class. Most students think that math is a hard subject, but realize hard work and paying attention pays off. Most Difficult Class Hi 20 m

V ere you ever bothered by bumping elbows at the table? Well, don ' t get mad because . efties have rights unique. It was something they were born with, not something they learned. I do everything with my left hand except write, said Tiffany Tisdell, sophomore. I feel more comfortable do- ing it that way, she added. I don ' t understand how people write with their left hand, said Tracy Colson, sophomore. I think it looks pretty strange, he added. What makes left-handed people so different from right-handed people? Is it because they do it from the opposite side of the body? Is it because everyone was born right-handed and only the greatest overcame it ? If the right side of your brain controls the left side of your body, then left-handed people are the only ones in their right mind, said Karia Creager, teacher. I think it ' s neat being left-handed, said James Williams, senior. It certain- ly is different, he added. Left-handed people are Eating lunch with your left hand isn ' t so bad, that is if you get to sit on the outside. I make sure I always sit to the outside so that I don ' t bump elbows with anyone, said Mark Werckle, senior. Bruce Wickliff. sophomore, makes sure he stands to the outside, mak- ing sure he doesn ' t hit anyone ' s elbow. Being left-handed means practic ing totally different from a right handed team, Darren Orsak senior, said. Lefties - 22 '
