U Tk DogluxUb Don't we all wish we had a lot less work to do? With homework, house- work, and part-time jobs, there just doesn't seem to be enough time in the day! For many students this year, the stress was too much, so was born the Great Procrastinator. The Great Procrastinator is an evil demon who lurks in the minds of many a high school student, causing us to be late to class, to oversleep, and to stay up until 3:00 in the morning doing research papers for English. Though Wando students tried to fight the Great Procrastina- tor, sometimes we couldn't help but give in. Oh well, a little laziness never killed anyone! Shawn Slater Other things (perhaps girls) are probably on Robert Mosher's mind. We can at least be sure that his attention's definitely not fo- cused on English class. No. a tornado has not suddenly hit Mt. Pleas- ant! This is Helen Wooddy in her ' room.'' It seems like priorities have placed talking on the phone with her friends ahead of cleaning | up anything! “ PROCRASTINATING

Michelle Ballenger is preparing to face the mad rush of parking lot traffic with Kathy Driscoll and her sister Amy’s Jeep. She's hoping to come out with no scratches. Lisa Thames rushes into her Bronco II in a desperate attempt to get out of the parking lot before the crunch hits, trying to avoid squeezing into line at the last minute. “I can’t wait ...” Hey! Wait a minute! Not EVERY- ONE drove to school! Freshmen and sophomores weren’t even allowed to drive. Many of them employed the County's luxurious busing sys- tem as a way of getting back and forth. With plush seats, central heat- ing and air, and courteous chauf- feurs, it was hard to understand why most underclassmen didn’t appreci- ate the service. Instead, many of them found other ways of getting to school. Students rode to school with friends or were dropped off by their parents. Still others rode bicycles or resorted to the oldest form of trans- portation known to man: foot power! Typical of many Wando students. Dana Wood- ward and Robyn Jones resort to bike riding to get where they need to go when a car isn't readily available.

JcuTtfe Tu) o' of Ul Joey Tripp Joey Tripp According to the official Charles- ton County School District's codes of conduct bulletin, the maximum penalty for any public display of af- fection is three days of lunchroom duty or one day of suspension. But let's face it! How many teachers ac- tually enforced that one? High school was the perfect place for couples to meet, fall in love, and make memories that would last a lifetime (no matter how long, or short, the relationship may have been). There were Shay Rosebrock and Kevin Crout, George Provosty and Hayley Anderson, John Popelka and Melissa Koger, and David Graham and Julie Todd. Couples were to- gether everywhere: holding hands, Shane Swanson and Lisa Jasper have been together for nearly two years now. talking, kissing, and partying. They just could not be kept apart ... both in and out of school. In the fifties and sixties, our par- ents went on dates to the malt shop, matinee, or Blueberry Hill.” Well, in 1988 things were different. The movies were still pretty popular, but even more common were dinner dates and party-hopping! No matter what the activity, couples always had plenty of fun together ... just the two of them! Jason Fihpow Doesn't this look revealing?! Toby Short and Athena Miller aren't really a couple, but they certainly are getting close during the pep rally class competition. Perhaps the epitome of the happy couple. Jon Howell and Dawn Clark share a smile for the camera during their lunch period near the site of the new science wing. warn
