c Everywhere You Look There Are OPY CATS Copying is a process which starts at a very early age, even before school. How much copy- ing actually goes into a school day? Kids copy every day with- out really knowing it. Copying the way another person talks, walks, sings, or acts is a common scene at playground time. School is the place where ev- ery kid learns how to be them- selves - from someone else's hab- its. Copying other people's habits continues all the way until the Golden Age. During high school, kids copy everything from hair- styles to homework. Changing hairstyles doesn't really hurt or help, as long as it is not the kind of haircut that would make Mom go through the wall. What do students think about copying homework? Whenever the paper is due and it's not fin- ished, yeah, it's tempting to copy Fourth grader Ramona Lopez attempts to copy what most girls dream of being, a gymnast Here Ramona tries her hardest to get a perfect 10. someone else's paper,'' says Freshman Max Trusty. Senior Jerry Keeton states, Who doesn't copy? while third grader Dacia Roberts exclaims in a whispered tone, We'd get in big trouble if we got caught copying! Copy- ing someone else's paper doesn't help to learn. It might help to get a better grade, if a student doesn't get caught. Sophomore Melanie Perales says, I really can't say too much about copying, because I some- times do it myself. Kim Blagburn, eighth grader, adds. “I agree with Jerry Keeton. Everyone copies - even the smart kids. An- other eighth graders Richard Zim- mer states, I ain't gonna say nothing. Copying clothes is another common thing. Maybe it's not really copying, just the same taste in apparel. Seniors Sylvia Taylor and Dwain Burrows enjoy wearing matching shirts. There are also many numbers of Guess or Lee jeans being worn in the halls. Whether copying clothes, homework, hairstyles, or one an- other, one thing is certain; copy- ing something or someone is nec- essary whether it is realized or not. As the Golden Age appears, so does gray hair, wrinkles, and more copying. Many older peo- ple try to look and or act like young people. Just think about it - don't young people do just the opposite? Sophomore Diane Lake adds. After all, we are trying to copy from other award-winning annual staffs in order to make our book better too. So, it doesn't matter what the age, copying is a life- long process. 10 ACADEMICS
