k Why do we send flowers on Valentines Day, give gifts on a friend ' s birthday, or order balloons when a chum does well? . . . ecause we care Your best friend just made Raider Belles and you want to do something special for her . . . send her some helium balloons to SCHOOL! A classmate is upset because he is grounded and can ' t go to the Drifters dance Saturday . . . give him a phone call and talk for a bit. Sound familiar? Our student body is known for its friendliness and family-like closeness. At lunch we gather in groups to eat and relax together. We go to the mail together. We send flowers, balloons, singing telegrams and greeting cards to celebrate birhdays, extend congratula- tions or just let someone know we care. We wanted to surprise Ms. Mc Barbara McLaughlin on her birthday during homeroom, so we got a party hat, a cake and a balloon and brought them to her, Jennifer Voelkel said. Whatever the occasion, let- ting the people we care about know that we do care about them is a special part of life. Students often show how they feel about a favorite teacher.

Cars, clothes, other enticing things are just a few of our little . . . bsessions Everybody has an urge deep down in their hearts for that certain obsession. You don ' t realize it until it ' s too late; you ' re just simply ad- dicted. You sometimes find yourself thinking about this obsession day and night. Some think of Chevrolet, but most go all the way out and hope for the big BMW. I can ' t go a day without a pack of gum, said Willet Dean, freshman. I think I would just die. Not only can cars and gum become an obsession, but so can food, clothes, soaps and candy. To many students, a Snickers bar, M Ms or a Reese ' s peanut butter cup is a must. The fact of the matter is that they crave candy. At noon, during the sum- mer, all activities stopped for those who had to watch the soap, All My Children to find out if Wade really did kill Phebee. If I ' m not able to be home when my favorite soap is on, 1 always put a tape in the VCR and record it so I can watch it when I get home, said Shelly Goebel, senior. Clothes always seem to be a must with girls. Guess jeans, hightop Reeboks, Liz Claiborne, Espirit, Coca Cola shirts and Swatch wear are all extremely important to a female when it comes to be- ing fashionable. ■ ' I enjoy wearing fashionable clothes because they make me feel good about myself. If you don ' t Soaps can be addictive, even to guys. Chad Starkey and Charlotte Herman watch a video tape of their favorite, All My Children , every evening, if possible. Shopping is a favorite pastime of Kim Kouches She likes to check out the latest fashions whenever she has the chance. Practically every girl likes to shop and Missy King is no different. She likes to keep track of her savings so that she can go shopping at the mall.
