We’re stepping out on our own. As we finally go through the door. We realize our childhood is gone. Oh, the fun we all had here — Classes, parties, and all! Some of that math is still not clear And paper is still in the hall. Subjects and verbs and all that stuff Are cluttering up our minds. Can we never forget this grammar so tough And relief from this torture find? I’m sure all who took it will agree Chemistry is truly a tale of woe. We can’t even remember, you see, Whether water is H02or H2O. French brought agony to our brain As we struggled with avoir and etre. Mr. McGuire was heard to say, not in vain, “If you don’t get your homework, you’d ‘bettre’.” Now that the struggle is nearly done And we’ll soon be saying good-bye. We know that we’ve really had fun Although we thought we would die. We’ll never forget our friends so dear And teachers who’ve been so kind. The many fond memories we gathered here Will always remain in our minds. —Lulabelle Smith, 1957 Thanks for your coopurashin an’ suport thru our spells of no creatity an’ no originalyti. Itz ben a tuff job; butt som- body had to do ’em. Yuv ben a fun shcool to compliment an’ pick jokes at. Me an’ her apresheate everyones whitt. We hop that in the futur the BITS will always be as cheezy as ours has ben. Luvya! THE INSIDERS: Margaritaville Michael and Adam prepare for their “rendezvous with pleasure.” After a long, hard year at school, most students feel a strong need to escape all the hassles of ordinary life and where better to run than Myrtle Beach. Near the end of school, homework is forgotten and plans are concocted for a rendezvous with pleasure. So when the departure date arrives, students and former students pack up the rattiest car they can find and set out on the long awaited journey. The trip down takes about 30 minutes and you better enjoy every minute of it because the trip back takes about five hours. Once you actually see the ocean, the juices really begin to flow and uncontrollable urges come over your body. The hotel, a.k.a. rat trap, where you made your reservations, appears to be a ritzy chalet where your fun is head quartered. Once in your living quarters, merely go about being a slob; after all, that’s all that’s expected of you anyway. Now that you’re at the beach, what do you do . . . anything you want to as long as you avoid the law. An encounter with the law most often ends the joys of summer so avoid such extracurricular activities which may attract such unwanted attention. Your first day on the sand will probably result in some unwanted ailments. Sun burn, the most common ailment, hurts for a few days and requires special care. Crotch rot, which results from the friction of sand and salt in your bathing suit, must be treated by an adjustment in your walk. Simply imagine you’re in diapers and soon the friction will cease. Finally, raft burn, only suffered by rafters, mainly oc curs in males. The canvas of the raft creates an abnormal pain in the upper pec torals and hurts for days. Enjoy the raft while you can. Your first ride will probably be your last. Throughout the week make the most of your freedom. Be sure to take few show ers; bathing takes time. Sleep should be avoided altogether, which goes without say ing. Eating takes time, too much time, so to avoid unnecessary time loss, take plen ty of peanut butter; it’s quick, it’s easy, and it’s nutritious. As for attire, three or four bathing suits should suffice and a fresh change of un derwear is always nice. Anything else is strictly for your mother’s satisfaction. Oh yeah, a shirt may also come in handy for restaurants, sunburn, or raft burn. In the end you will leave unwillingly, but with a feeling of extreme satisfaction . . . hopefully. Oh! Just one last item of interest, we have been pondering the question for a long time and just cannot decide, so Jim Cummings, for curiosity’s sake ... Is Life Really A Beach!?! The Insiders Mike Snyder and Adam Lemarr Advice From Class of ’86 By BETH GOODMAN Soon, the 1987 graduating class will be looking back on graduation. We talked with some 1986 graduates and asked them to give this year’s seniors some advice about graduation! Abbey Liles now attends the American School of Business and Fashion in Char lotte. Abbey wanted this year’s seniors to remember not to be influenced by your friends and parents. Choose what’s right for yourself and not for someone else. A freshman at UNCC this year, Cindy Lorch said, “Be open about the upcoming and new experiences that are fixing to hap pen.” Last year’s student body president, Jennifer Maiden, now attends UNCC. Jennifer remembers the big change from high school to college but her senior year with her friends was something she wouldn’t forget. Jennifer Hunsucker, who now attends Stanly Technical College, learned that you must take on the responsibility in differing between your time spent studying while also your enjoying yourself in the “best years of your life.”
