Betty Bathroom arrives at West High School one half hour before classes begin in order to join her fellow bathroom buddies in an unsponsered smoke out. The few end stalls soon become occupied by these persons. Eventually clouds of smoke big enough to signal all Indian tribes worldwide begin to appear above the stalls. As the beginning of first hour approaches, the cigarrettes are extinguished. All through the day, between classes, little bouts of nicotine fits are nursed in a nearby bath- room. As their school day draws to an end, Betty and her group of nicotine lovers head over to 7-11 across the street to socialize with fellow cancer freaks. So ends a routine day in the life of Betty Bathroom. A day in the life of Betty Bathroom. . . C9 9435 53 ca l X' C139 A day in the me of Cliff Computer.

A Day In The Life Cf. a When Felicia Fashion enters West High School, every student f' recognizes at once that her yacht from New York carrying the .5 latest fashionable clothes, has arrived. As she makes her way ! ilk, through the crowded halls, tiny particles of fur from her rabbit fur j + Zi' V coat, are shed on a lowly girl following closely behind. A neatly H gg' l ' x tied dark blue satin bow accents her flowing, faultless auburn hair. l, v ' , During her fourth hour gym class, Felicia stays as cool as a 1 cucumber. Everyone else is hot and sweaty, looking as though - x 1 they just returned from a dip in the pool. When classes are over . for the day she takes her genuine rabbit fur coat out of her f l J immaculate locker, and travels down the hallway. She passes inumerable people, all of whom are too lowly for her to acknowl- X l, edge. Stepping out into the cold air, she spots her chauffer X i waving beside her private limousine.

Lodies' Night Gut Although there was no snow outside, snowflakes were suspended in the air inside the West High cafeteria on Saturday, January 7 during the Grand Gala dance. The planning for this event began back in December when the Gala King candidates were chosen, and committees for the dance and aud were formed. Much cooperation and dedication was involved here. There were many details which had to be worked out and attended to, All girls who helped, met these requirements by a certain date. Ironically, this years dance theme was Winter Fan- Y tasies and the band that performed was called Summer Breeze. When couples weren't in the cafeteria listening and dancing to the band's music, they were either in a seemingly everlasting picture line, or quenching their thirst with the punch provided by GAA which was served by helpers from local junior high schools. At 9:00 GAA president Penny Schroeder crowned this year's Gala King, Steve Rodriguez. Then all Gala King candi- dates were featured in a slow dance with GAA commit- tee helpers. As 10:30 approached couples began to stray off the dance floor, gather their coats and head out for their cars. The dance was over, but for many couples this signaled only the beginning of the tremendous even- ing hours ahead. 30 Gala After being crowned, Gala King Steve Rodriguez dances with Penny Schroeder during the royalty dance.
