 Can I have some? Sharing is a way to make friends but sometimes it can get you into real trouble as Christy Marshall realizes. How do you split one piece of gum between four people?

The speed at which students traveled was largely depen- dent upon whether or not a figure of au- thority in a suit and tie was stationed near the pop ma- chine. The absence of an administrator, like the absence of state police on our free- ways, increased speeds by 10-15 mph.

Some new tongue tantalizers were added, as for the first time students could enjoy hot-diggety subs, burritos, chicken nug- gets, ala-carte items and a new snack bar featuring potato chips, granola bars and giant cookies.

It gave them time to collect their thoughts for the rest of the day and to enjoy the free time they had before the bell rang to go to their next two to three hours of school.

It's my turn to talk. Practicing their debut as Christmas assembly MC's, student council mem- bers Ginger Marshall and Bonnie Shattuck display their art of grace under pressure. V-I-C-T-O-R-Y! The sophomores show off their spirit and loud voices with a group cheer in the yelling contest. Ike King gives it his all with a hearty roar. 14 Assemblies
