Let's G0 People Editor Oh! How can you stand it!! You stand outside the limited with your eyes glued to a certain unique dress and the only thing that stands in the way of your owning it is your will power. The struggle inside you comes to an end as you quickly turn your head away because you know if you had gone in, you would have been tempted to buy out the store. Defeated, you walk to the next store in which you see just the most beautiful pair of shoes you've ever seen. In ago- ny, you turn away and rush to the next store. You stop and begin to tremble as you look hungrily at a beautiful pair of diamond earrings. No, no, you can't look! You run out of the mall and take a deep breath as a smile appears. Satisfaction. Does this scene sound Shopping familiar? Do you find yourself in this situation frequently? Maybe it's not your typical shopping spree, but some girls have had similar experiences. It's like a nightmare! I hate it when I don't have any money and all I can do is look, Kim Prince said. The shopping craze is not restricted only to girls because some guys get caught up in it. I don't go shopping that much, but when I do I always buy something, Keith Harris said. It's a disease that never goes away. Some people are born with it. There is no Shoppers Anonymous that can help you over- come this disease. Doctors are baffled by it and they are convinced that there isn't and never will be a cure for it. So, there's only one logical way to control this disease. What is it? To shop! shop! SHOP!!!! Erica Logan finishes her assignment in Typing and looks forward to the week- end, and a chance to go shopping for anything. 'I84 People The blood drive does some shopping and Gregory Pinkerton is a product as he offers his arm to check his blood pressure.

The Big Three E k Swafford People Editor We've come a long way. I feel real good. That's what Bill Barnes had to say about Mills. Mr. Barnes was new when school started, but he quickly adjusted to the routine of Mills. He set up a student advisory com- mittee to decide whether or not to allow gum and shorts. Mr. Barnes came over from Fuller following the retirement of Mr. Iohn Voegele, the first Mills' principal.The whole situa- tion was a great ball of confusion, but he had his reasons for coming. Mills was a challenge and I knew most of the tenth graders, he said. Mr. Barnes had no prob- lems following Voegele. He was a good friend, but I wanted to make my own tracks, he said. The school year got off to a rocky start when a big fight occurred in the com- mons, but Mr. Barnes was able to get the situation under control. He ar- ranged a pep assembly so 186 People that students could talk about the problems. I wanted an open rela- tionship with the stu- dents, he said. Mr. Barnes is not dissat- isfied with his decision to come here. Mills is exciting be- cause we have a lot of good talents, he said. Kathy Turner agrees. 'fIt's thrilling, challenging, and it's fun! she exclaimed. Mrs. Turner was also new to Mills. As the vice principal, she felt that this job offer was one that I could not refuse, she said. Everybody's adjusting so there is a big support system, she said. james Nash, on the oth- er hand, can speak from experience. He has been at Mills for 'I0 years. This year he had some adjust- ing to do. Almost half of the school was made up of new teachers, but for Mr. Nash nothing was differ- ent. I love the school as a whole and I love to see kids achieve certain goals, he said.
