The Supreme Court today stated that freedom of the Press does not apply to high school newspapers or published materials of any kind. Statements of this kind were heard by many un- happy teenagers who wrote for their high schools. They believed that their constitutional rights were being taken away from them. It's the students' rights and by this they will be Rm , etc . . . lt's all more than play Holly Bramel C0-Editor Earrings, necklaces, rings, watches, and brace- lets all contribute to the style and fashion of jewel- ry. Types of jewelry can be worn in many different ways and in many different places. The places may range anywherefrom your ankles to your head. I guess that you can call the beads in my hair jewelry. I like to wear oth- er jewelry also. I like neck- laces and rings,'f Carla Hall said. The prices of jewelry range from the cheap prices of costume jewelry to the extremely expen- sive prices of the real thing. jewelry also can come in a vast variety of different and bright co- lors. I like real gold. It doesn't have to be real ex- pensive, it just has to be real. Costume jewelry is okay for sometimes but I really like the real stuff, Linda Brown said. jewelry is a statement of personality and taste. The statements given off by jewelry is like a neon sign telling everyone about yourself. Any kind of jewelry that you wear tells a per- son your personality and how you care about your- self, Jaime Gatrell said. Supreme Court ruling affects high school taking their rights away. The students are in charge and they care more about the newspapers or year- books than anybody else, Kristy Henson said. Not only the students that wrote for their schools believed that this was wrong,but there were students who didn't write for their schools who be- lieved that it is unfair. The students believe in things and say things that the adults don't agree with. If they don't have freedom of press we will never be heard, Leann Kinchen said. Even though the bad side of the decision pre- vailed, some students seemed to think that maybe a little censorship should go on. I believe that if the in- formation is slander then that should be censored but other than that I don't think that anybody has the right to go through and say that this and that can not be published, Enrica Ran- dall said.

6 MIIIS-MCCIZIIGH Chad Pifer Org. Editor In the beginning of the Mills - McClellan rivalry there were marshmallows, painted mice, and bread crumbs. ln the year of '87- '88 a new weapon arose from the depths of peo- ple's minds. On October 16, the day of the Mills VS. McClellan football game, a new chapter of this rivalry was recorded in history. The day started off with a pep assembly, during which, a group of McClel- lan guys delivered a goat wearing a Beat the Com- ets banner. The McClel- lan students were then chased out of the gym by the football team. To retaliate, a large number of Mills students attended the McClellan homecoming assembly and presented to the McClellan student body a funeral wreath, which said the traditional slogan - Mills Kills. Rivalry Still going strong ll It was a lot of fun and a great way to get even when we presented the student body with the wreath, Bryant Steele said. Later that afternoon, hundreds ofMills students gathered on Wal-Mart's parking lot to cheer for the Comets during McClellan's homecoming parade. But the peaceful fun soon ended. A truckful of McClel- lan guys drove by and started throwing eggs at us, so some Mills students ran into Food-4-Less and bought eggs to retaliate with, Paul Brittion. Many students went to the parade to show school spirit and have good clean fun, but McClellan stu- dents had other ideas. We all had planned to bring green and gold pop- corn to throw and just watch the parade showing good, clean school spirit, but everything turned nasty all of a sudden. Even 'IO4 Mini-Mag some of the people in the parade had two or three cartons of eggs, Karla Yancey said. Because of the animosi- ty between the two schools, the Senior Cabi- net cancelled the spirit pa- rade that was planned to be held before the game. Attendance at the game was still high, despite con- cern over the potential danger of fights. The prin- cipals of Mills and McClel- lan apologized before the game for the events that had taken place earlier and warned students against any aggressive behavior during or after the game. I don't think that it was right for Mr. Barnes to apologize for something that we didn't even start, Mike Carter said. Marina Gudelj takes advantage of her privilege of reading the newspaper as she also displays a number of fashion jewelries on her wrist and hand. Mills football players and cheerleaders decorate their cars to show support for the Comets at the McClellan parade and at the football game that night.

Gut and About Dollars can make a difference Melody Case Staff Dates come in all sizes, kinds and costs. Is it McDonalds or Coy's? Who knows what is going to happen? Is it a movie or dancing? Sometimes the bank balance makes the decisions for you, but oth- er times it depends on the person you are trying to impress. It depends on how long I've been dating the person. Usually, Kristy and I enjoy eating at Spinnak- ers and going to a movie. A good estimate of the price of one of our dates would be about thirty-five dollars, Dean Lewis said. How much money is spent can also depend on how often you see the person. If you see the per- son only occasionally, you might chose a nicer place to go. If you see the person several times a week, you might go to TCBY and rent a movie or two. It all depends on the young man and his social class. If he can afford a big night out, then it's Cajun's Wharf and a play. If I see him quite often then it's 'Micky Deefs' and dollar night at the UA Four. Money is no object as long as we have a good time, Gwen Moncrief said. Some people want to impress the person they are with, no matter what the cost. It may be that first date or a very spe- cial occasion. It all depends on what you're trying to accom- plish, whether you are try- ing to impress the person with what you have or with who you are, Chuck Ferrell said. Others just like the company and fellowship of other classmates. A good majority of students just like to cruise through Geyer and stop for a bite to eat. I like to go to Taco Bell with other people my age. Then we like to play pool at Professor Bowl. Twenty dollars will cover it, Pat- rick Huff said. Some couples like to enjoy a quiet evening at home without all their buddies. After all, watch- ing Wheel of Fortune on television is free! 106 Mini-Mag Walking Bjllboards Laura Miller Staff Have you ever walked through the halls and saw your favorite food walk by? Or had your favorite rock group cut in front of you in the lunch line? There seems to be an abundance of billboards these days. The most pop- ular products seem to be showing up on everyone's body. I wear Coke shirts be- cause it's my favorite drink,' Teresa Hill said. There are shirts, jeans, skirts, shoes, socks, purses, bookbags, earrings, watches, and even glasses that people are wearing today to show their pref- erence in products. I I have an outfit with all Coke logos on them. At first I just bought a shirt, but then I just kept buying more Coke things, Tonya Faulkner said. A lot of people however do not like to wear their dinner on their chest. j My mom bought me a Frito's sweatshirt and I'm embarrassed to wear it, i Mike Boothe said. Michael Bennett and Rhonda Hornesj are two stylish walking billboards in- the halls at school. Alfred Thomas takes his time getting to his next class. Taking one's time can also' be a form of procrastination.
