First date fails fantansies Imagining their first date, many people thought of romantic candlelit dinners for two and a lively night on the dance floor. However, the sweaty-palmed reality often fell short of these rose-colored fantasies. Nervously, he wiped his palms on his jeans, straightened his tie and rang the doorbell, while his mother waited outside in the family station wagon. Her little brother answered the door, armed with a loaded squirt gun. Coming down the stairs, she glanced quickly in the mirror, checking her appearance for the lOOth time. Hi, he said. Hi, she answered, as they fell into a tongue-tied silence. Well, maybe we should go, he suggested. He carefully opened the door for her, almost tripping over the doormat on the way out. In the car, his mother made lively conversation about how sweet they looked and remembering her own first date. Soon they arrived at their destination: the movie theater. See you later mom, he said. l'll be back at 9:30. Have fun! his mother replied. Feeling important, he pulled out his wallet and told the cashier, Two, please. As they walked in, they awkwardly discussed where to sit. Wherever you want , she said. l don't care , he replied. Finally, they settled on a seat, sat down and the lights dimmed. Halfway through the movie, a ridiculous story about a teenage werewolf, he wondered if he should hold her hand. She wondered if he ever would. Eventually, their hands crept closer, until their fingers were bumping, and then, the credits rolled and the lights came back on. The couple went outside and soon his mother came to take them home. He walked her to the door and said he'd see her at school. She said thank you and she had a nice time. He leaned down to kiss her, but missed her lips and pecked her on the nose. They both laughed and the tension of the night was finally broken. by Kate Steinheimer A

Mr. Dinkel, Industrial Arts Department chairperson, fought fires in Northern Califor- nia for ll straight day, putting in 200 hours. He performed such duties as supporting the fire effort, flying water drops on hot spots, pulling fire fighters off the fire line that were overcome with smoke, and flying fighters in and out of the blazing sites. Not only did Mr. Dinkel do all of the above, but he also had to take care of 186 men in his company. We were the main maintanence station. We supplied meals for all of the men and a place for a little RSLR lrest and relaxationlf' forest blazes said Mr. Dinkel. According to Mr. Dinkel, he was amazed that the National Guard could handle such a big operation. l thought that we would step on our toes big time, but we didn't. We ran it perfectly, recalled Mr. Dinkel. One thing that pleased Mr. Dinkel was the fact that Principal Floyd Williams allowed him to take the time out and do his patriotic duty. lt's great to know that I had an employer who supported the effort, said Mr. Dinkel. Though fighting fires was an extreme challenge, that didn't bother Mr. Dinkel. According to him, it was a great chance to fly and break away from the normal. Angelica Bautista e3 ,A ,,., 5 I ..
