'A Jgasafairv Dear Miss Thomas, lhave aterrible crush on a boy in my P.E. class. But he doesnt even know l'm alive. What can I do? Love, Invisible Dear Invisible, Although I do sympathize, I must say that I never had this experience. Perhaps you are being a teensy bit too shy. A volleyball can be a terrihc attention-getter when aimed correctly. Dear Miss Thomas, On what date is it appropriate to wear white shoes? Etta Quette Dear Etta, Never wear white shoes on your first date. It's much too obvious. You might as well answer the door in a wedding gown, After the third date is time enough, especially if the relationship is beginning to look serious, Dear Miss Thomas, Sometimes I am late to school because my car engine turns over, and won't work. I've checked the plugs, the points, the condenser, the coil, the distributor, and I even sprayed carburetor cleaner in the carb, but no dice. What gives? Stuck Dear Stuck, It sounds to me like your car is broken, If you need it soon, I would get it iixed. Dear Miss Thomas, My coach says that if a base runner is struck by a foul ball that bounces off a wall into fair territory and hits him he's out. Is my the coach right? BleacherBum Dear BleacherBum, Well, ldon't know, I suppose if you hit him in the head, he would be at the least woozy for a bit. What is the person running from? And what is so foul about that ball? Did someone drop it in something messy? Sue needs facts. Lam When it happened, Yearbook was there! Dear Miss Thomas, V A I ln my cooking class we made spaghetti, rt tumed out all tangled up into clumps. What did I do wrong? Frustrated Dear Frustrated, A I am not sure, but you might try a light cream rinse, followed by a quick once-over with a blow-dyer. Dear Miss Thomas, y All of my plants for my Biology project once so nrce and green have tumed brown and died. What should l do. B H ere Dear Bereft. That is truly sad. And green is such a pretgf color. . . But cheer up. Plants are just like lamps. Vou plug them rn an they turn nght on. When they stop working, just unplug them, throw away, and plug in another. As for your project you may get better grade with srlk plants with the plastic stems. P ' t X 1 ' 1 X e ,,- i I X . , . , ,,-- .., ,,,,.f H.: . ut. ,sain- NEW CLASS! A variety of new vocational classes were offered this year, among them was Game Show Modeling 102. G.S.M., as it became known, was taught by none other than Wheel of Fortunes own Vanah White, The class spent time reading instruction books, fashion magazines, and Kelly Wholesale Blue Books before they started modeling prizes. It's important that you know aboutthe prize. Your enthusiasm has to be real, or on camera, your audience can see right through you, said one student with much enthusiasm, In addition to videotaped practices, the class took a Held trip to the actual set of Wheel of Fortune. On location, students had the opportu- nity to talk to host Pat Sejack and look at prizes close-up. White was really happy with the tumput for the one semester class, but expressed her disappointment in the fact that only 5'!o of the class was male. She continued to state that you don't have to be a dumb blonde girl to model fumiture, cheap economy cars and small appli- ances, dumb blond guys can do it almost as well. -Jennifer -Q gifaimk q ui 'f-o'4'o'7i454g' I fi r -AA YEARBDDK W' Q g fl A?

9 fl Xt ,?Xf here's En lish 103 31 l M and sleep ZZZ There are many very difterent classes to enroll in at Torrey Pines. There's an under water basket weaving course, a yearbook course, and the newest addition is the sleeping course. This course is very popular for the reason that the students are graded on how well they can sleep. Sound easy enough, actually the-re's more to it than that. The A.S.B. invested in some very elaborate machinery, this machinery has probes which they hook up to a sleeping students temples. The probe reads the levels of sleep that the student reaches and also can detect the energy level of the students dreams. The information obtained is then turned into reports, which the students are also graded on. In some cases, the information is sent to various types of doctors who are doing world wide studies on sleep. X 3 s D ij.-1' l, low HW -. .. EWU ily as .I y l . COfi3lWENi gg, - ,lf - ..

These people deny any ideas of ditching and disclaim any knowledge of how the sand got in their car. Many theories have arisen as to these disappearences. Junior Tim Geiser reported seeing a well-tanned arm pull one student into a locker. He was never seen again, it was horrible, absolutly horrible. He didn't have any chance to escape, all I can say is . . . it was horrible! Other eye-witnesses have sprung up as the number of missing students grew. The ever present lure of sun, sand, and the opposite sex continually drew students away from school and to the beach. This lure grew to an almost tangible degree this year as many people felt the grip of temptation as they were drawn further and further into THE 75th STREET TRIANGLE. - Jennifer Xieiilif?

FIEig'S CIaStal'dIV DIEII1 backfires . . . Supporting a widely held belief, the sweatshirts worn by the flag team this year proved that they were not all there. All members freely admitted that you had to be crazy to be on the flag team, but no one had any proof until now. The flag team's attempt to change the school's name ended with failure and mockery. Vainly groping at excuses, the flags contested that it wasn't their fault. The shirt place misspelled it! , cried one anguished member. But everyone knows that it was really a devious plot to under- mine the schools sense of identity. After repeated requests the flags finally consented to return to the original spelling. Although they maintain their innocence we know that even now they sit scheming, devising their next ' underhanded plot. - Stacey RYP CLOSED CAMPUS It . .iii-We -A 5 Vg.-i n , ..

Well, your not the only one. In fact, hundreds of students have had similar experiences. The reason is subliminal messages found in Spanish for Mastery tapes. Played backwards at half speed one can hear various subliminal messages throughout the tapes. If you've found yourself fondling your desk partner's knee without rhyme or reason, accord- ing to a committee of researchers, you are probably the victim of a well thought out scheme of Spanish professors throughout paraguay and Northern Brazil to divert students from their studies and, through repeated subliminal brainwashing, eventually throw American schools into a frenzy of chaos and disorder.
