Daydreaming . . a vacation from reality? Walking down the beach, John feels the waves lap around his ankles and the soft misty breeze on his face. Suddenly he sees Jane, his ex-girlfriend, running to- ward him, calling his name, John. John! JOHN! John snaps off the beach back into the classroom to face an angry teacher and snickering classmates. For the last time, John, the teacher says, stop daydream- ing and pay attention! People of all ages tend to daydream. In a survey of various freshmen at Thornwood, over ninety percent of the students claimed they daydreamed to escape bore- dom. One student said, Daydreaming keeps me from falling asleep in class. But boredom is not the only reason for daydreaming. Other reasons include escaping from teachers, parents, and, sometimes, life in general. Many times romantic interests caused students to let their minds drift. Daydreaming is not always an escape from problemsg however, Daydreaming gives me a chance to work out my problems. By imagining all kinds of solutions, I can usually come up with the right one, was one freshman's comment. Although all freshmen surveyed claimed they day- dream at least once in a while, only ten percent have ever talked about it with anyone. I'd just be too embar- rassed to tell anyone about my daydreams! exclaimed a freshman girl. Embarrassment might be the reason daydreams are not openly discussed, but it is not considered wrong by any of those surveyed. It helps develop your imagina- tion and exercise your mind. Right: When daily schoolwork becomes tedious, some students often find their minds drifting away from their schoolwork into another world. Many times these daydreamers are thinking about more important things, such as after school activities or weekend dates.

Smoking forms habit for students Above: The cost of cigarettes has increased dramatically within the last few years, causing some students to abandon the addicting habit of smoking and to turn to other means of having fun. Want a drag? is a frequently used courtesy question among smokers of all ages, including sophomores. Sur- prisingly enough, many sophomores indicated that the majority of their friends do smoke. One of the many reasons for starting to smoke is the need to be accepted by others. But after experimenting for lengthy periods of time, many students found that they had acquired the need for a cigarette. Many people find smoking to be a turn off, and the idea of a fifteen year-old starting to smoke unaccepta- ble. I think it's a pretty gross habit, said one non- smoking sophomore. It really bothers me and many smokers don't have the courtesy to ask if it bothers you before they start to smoke in your face. In fact, it is even admitted by people who do smoke to be a very unattractive activity. But still the number of smokers is high. Cigarette advertisements have been banned from television. According to sophomore Rick Cook, it was the correct decision to make. He felt that advertise- ments made smoking look too glamorous and appealing. The intended impression that smoking is classy influ- enced people to start smoking. Because of health education, dangers of smoking are understood. Smokers do realize that it would be in their best interest to quit, but it takes more than the thought to succeed. Dan Sadler summed up the weakness that most smokers have by replying, I really want to quit . . . after this pack. .,. , V I . , f, A Julene Walton . g ' - Scott Ward A , K M Christina Warden ' X ' Q5 'X -f Dwa ne Washington . . ..
