students try to be more mature Being in the eighth grade brought lots ot changes. Students went from stand- ing in lines and paying their lunch money by the week, to a whole new world. Once one was out there with the big guys everything changed, no more standing in lines, and waiting until recess time to get a drink. Teachers weren ' t going to baby students any more. After reaching the eighth grade students expected to be mature and responsible. When Jonathan Gott, eighth grader, was asked if he thought he had matured since he came to the high school he said, Yes, I ' ve been around older people and I have good role models to follow. You have to be more mature in order for older people to respect you. Going to school at the high school has many advantages. Students have more freedom and responsibility. They also have more opportunity and a better chance to learn. Eighth grader, Eric Flores stated, Being in high school gives me more opportunity, but you also have to be responsible for yourself.

Older girls start a new dating fad Eighth graders created competition tor upperclassmen. More than ever before sophomore, junior, and senior girls were dating eighth graders. Girls were falling for younger guys, and younger guys definitely wanted older girls. W hen asked if he would date older girls, Roy Johnson, eighth grader, said, Yes, because they act older and they are filled out better. Jonathan Gott, eighth grader said, I prefer to go out with older girls. They are much more mature and are more fun to be around. Many older girls felt that they could date a younger guy. Stacy Taylor, sophomore said, If you really like a person the age difference should not matter. Junior, Gina Findley stated, I would date a younger guy on the basis that he is mature enough to handle most situations. I also believe age has no es- sence in any successful relationship. Was it possible that a new trend in dating could be starting? Only the future will tell what ' s in store.
