We splattered paint, made hand prints, and wrote our theme ‘Don't Mess With the Press’ on the walls. Well it livens the room up a bit .1 like it Glenn said Actually, many classrooms were decorated Art hung on the walls while mobiles twirled overhead. Rooms were boring with just a clock on the wall, said senior Lisa Blockus Decorations allowed for creativity; each room was different Although he Is a Democrat. Mr William Zeigler filled his room with Republican memorabilia Posters of Ronald Reagan hung on the wall and an autographed picture of Chalmers Wylie was propped against the chalkboard In addition, political cartoons and recent newspaper and magazine articles lined the wall. German students found a map of Germany painted on their classroom wall. Posters of famous foreign sites like the Eiffel Tower were also found in other foreign language rooms. Dr. James Allen's classroom contained self-made thought waves and brain currents re fleeting each student's person ality. Posters, mobiles, and sculptures, which filled a re quiremenl for a 20th Century Drama class, populated an Eng lish room Each room was decorated for the subject taught in that room But why so much decoration5 Mrs Sharon Friedman believed Decorating the rooms di» played the students' creativity which added to a stimulating and warm atmosphere for the students. a student life a A MINI MAGAZINE A

MINI MAGAZINE Horoscopes — fact or fiction? Virgo: The pull of the moon indicates a romantic interlude in the near future. (Girl's thought) I hope he is tall, dark, and handsome. (Guy’s thought) I hope she is slim, blonde, and gorgeous. (Both parties) Sigh. Horoscope reading proved to be a common practice at the high school. For senior Tim Verhoff, reading the horoscope became “ ... a religious experience. First thing I did when I woke up was read the horoscope,” he said. Senior Chris Racster was known to mutter, ‘‘My horoscope must have been really bad last Friday because I had a horrible day.” Then there were others at the opposite end of the spectrum. When asked how often he read the horoscope, senior Greg Long replied, “Never.” Senior Julie Diamond noted, “It was fun to see that what happened in the school day was what the horoscope said would happen ... I liked the romance predictions. Frau Kay Barr’s fourth period German V class read the horoscope from The Columbus Dispatch every day at the beginning of class. The previous spring, the class studied horoscopes and how ... ridiculous they were,’’ explained Barr. Nonetheless, once they began reading horoscopes, they continued the practice. However silly those astrological predictions appeared, horoscopes occasionally seemed to speak the truth. Senior Shirin Gursahaney commented. “The day I broke up with my boyfriend, my horoscope said something about broken relationships, and his said that he would have the opposite sex eating out of the palm of his hand It was enough to make even the skeptics begin to wonder. Was it possible the horoscope might have some validity? Nah, couldn't be. Could it? Is it the woman's responsibility to take care of the children, or should she be able to have a career, too?
