THINGS — Often, favorite items are a source of security as well as something practical. The items might be a comfortable sweater or hat. Everyone has that special something that makes them feel at home, no matter where they are. Junior Rosanna Piper said, My absolute favorite item is a teddy bear with a gold necklace. It was given to me by someone special and I simply love it! No matter what, everyone has something special that makes each day go a little faster.

Sophomore Jay Katyal tries to tret past sophomore Megan Woods in the crowded hallways creating a traffic jam. A Freshman gets stuck as she turns the corner and finds a mob of people in her way. 'Excuse me, Pardon Me. Will you get out of my way? Just how many people are there at W-L? When walking through the halls, most people would say too many. The abundance of students made it seem impossible to get to class on time without knocking down at least ten people on the way. The beginning of the year was the worst, especially at the stairways. It was almost impossible to climb the stairs as everyone tried to plow through. For each push given, a shove was returned. After a while, however, people remembered there was more than one stairwell, and conditions improved — slightly. It still took three minutes to get to lockers only three feet away. People refused to give a person space to get across the hallway, therefore creating a traffic jam. Students stopping to socialize with friends in the middle of the hall also created major traffic jams. We survived, though. By the end of the day, we may have had bruises all over our bodies, but we were still in one piece. Most of us anyway; except for those who ran into doors or tripped down the stairs and broke an ankle — those people know who they are! There was really no logical solution for us. Maybe the halls could have been widened, or we could have pretended we were on the I,.A. highways and shot classmates out of our way, but we needed a logical solution. The best answer was to live with it! Kristir IVririiutii Scot I Duncan wonders if using these stairs was so smart after all. 22 Student Life i
