...XS t X awn. It ' s finally the ■ I end of sixth period, J and I ' m so tired. Who wouldn ' t be after such an abusive day. From being written on to being sat on! I calmy take such pun- ishment, but have yet to say something about it all. The life of a desk is a trying one. ... Oh boy! This is one heavy student! Thank God there ' s only ten minutes left for the period! Wait a minute, no ... no don ' t write on me! Doesn ' t anyone hear me? Who in the world wants to know that Susan loves John? And what does skins mean? Such trivial nonsense, imagine that . . . See what I mean? Even my pal, the lunch table feels the 32 Student Life Grafitti same. Besides having to put up with grafitti, he has to put up with spilled drinks, burrito drip- pings, and misplaced gum. One of these days, the desks and tables of the world wi stand up for their rights by re- volting against humans. Yeah, that ' s it! We ' ll win in the aca- demic revolution.

ih lookback at Christmas %j;sjw - ' -r- ' S.r ' - • -.J rr ■ ■vci-rwi-r-vrj vi %e ! s s ' W ' Vf t jvr ig -vr -sf -sg- Christmas is supposed to be a time of good cheer, rejoicing, fun, food, and Santa Claus. But through the years, it changes. Kids change from excitement over Old St. Nick, to finding out who really stuffs their stockings and fills the bare space under the tree. Reaching back about ten years, you may find an encounter you faced at Christmas time. It could be sad, happy, or even stupid. Now, in 1986, how many of us remember these moments? SOPHOMORE BRANDON GARCIA: When I was about five, I always wanted a little red fire engine. For Chiristmas. I asked Santa for one. Christmas morn- ing I woke up and there it was. I ' ll never forget that truck. I would drive it up and down the street, and make the noise that goes along with it. I wore a cap and a badge and knew that I was a fireman. JUNIOR ANGIE FLORES: When I was seven years old, I put out a stocking with milk and cookies, and even a letter to Santa. When I woke up, the cookies and milk were gone, but the letter was there and my stocking was empty! I felt so sad. When my parents got up, I told them about my stocking and they looked at each other. Their faces looked so guilty, and they told me that Santa must have forgotten. I couldn ' t figure out what I had done wrong. That ' s when I thought maybe there wasn ' t a Santa. SOPHOMORE TOMMY STURGEON: When I was little. I thought that if Santa could make it down the chimney, so could I. So I got on the roof and tried to make it down. I faced a big problem on the way down — I got stuck. My parents had to call the neighbors and drag me out. JUNIOR JASON COOPER: believed in Santa for so long, f y mom would take boots and put fake snow on them. Then she would make footprints on the rug. She would pound on the roof, and ring bells. With all that going on, how could I not believe? If the past ten years have been so exciting at Christmas, just think of what ' s in the future. What will we have to go through to convince our children that Jolly Santa Claus really does exist? story by Julie Wishner; layout by Lynn Fujioka. l fc -w e-vn-n-r%gvevci-f ' w ' wiMr-www .■■■-.■%j--wwr ' ---- ' --- w« irf sz . ■■ww ' wveveve-vg-vr-vr-vr%r evevc:m ► INTERRUPTED BY THE CAMERA, Cynthia Ra- mirez en|oys her new toy puppy.
