S S lf it weren't for school, we would never have met our best friends, said Renee Elwood. Pam Clement said, l've always liked school, but l think drama made it a lot more fun. School was fun if we tried. The hours were a little early, but we got used to that, observed Eric Schmitt. Sharon Alexandra liked school because she thought the teachers really seemed to care about getting students prepared for their future. Tina Young liked coming to school because it was fun and a place to see friends every day. Even though school was fun, days were filled with learning where to use the correct verb, or when to replace a variable with the correct number. With all of this, we left for the summer feeling as if we had learned something, even if it was only how to achieve our goals. l 13 i E- i ,f ,ffm Calculating.

Jay Melcher thought that fashions nowadays were getting crazier, and he loved it. He thought the clothes were a lot of fun. Terry Rice liked the GQ look. Sometimes he liked to dress a little punk or new wave, but the GQ look was still for him. Fashion played an important part in our daily lives. Every morning when we got up, we had to decide whether to dress casual or dressy. Making the decisions about what name brand to buy was difficult at times and even frustrating, but we didn't quit until we knew for sure we were Lookin' good. Opening 9
