Description:	Ric-Shee>er\\cxe>JUXtaPOSITTONSc\a\re barw\5eWhether its the occasional extended lunchhour or the Friday afternoon spent cruisingthe streets of downtown, skipping has beenaround as long as high school itself. In thewords of Attendance Secretary, Mrs. JackieTate, Its just something every kid has to try. Idont think South is any worse than any otherschool. Despite recent measures such aslocked doors and security guards, studentscontinue to find ways around such obstacles-on and off of campus. ^SM ■■•Do you feel like skipping is prevalentat our school?Everybody does it. Even though most ofmy friends are concerned with theirclasses and dont do it a lot, I dont knowtoo many people who havent tried it atleast once.senior Sarah Alvarez•Is skipping easier now than when youwere a freshman?No, its harder now with closed campus,the call that we get {to our parents), andmore pigs.Todd•Where do you go when you skip?I usually just bounce to one of my boyscribs, unless their parents are home.Then you can just drive around and bumpthe Snoop Dogg. Jay•Have you ever been caught skipping?Yes. I skipped four days in a row onceand got caught. I usually call myself in asmy dad ... and I said the wrong day on thevoice mail. So the attendance womancalled my dad to make sure he got thedays right and then I was screwed.Bill•How do you get away with it?I leave school as soon as lunch begins soI can get to my car without being caughtby the pigs. But leaving is only half thebattle. Coming back you have to knowwhat door to use, or else youre lockedout. I use the band door and come backwith no problems.Fred•Why do you skip?Im bored at school and a lot of the timewere not doing anything productive. Idrather just be at home or around town.Jane** Names have been changed to protect theidentity of the students.Justin Ryan Richardson Amy Robbins Barbara RobertsRichardsonNick Roberts Sheena Robling Michelle Sainz Jonas SavageAaron Scales Leslie Schaffer Pam Schiefer Ewan SchmidTiffany Andy Schroeder Larissa Anna SchulteSchopmeyer SchroederDavid Schunk Scott Scrogham Josh Shaffer Brent Shelley108 GothicDESIGN BY JESSEE HAHN & MARTHA PAYNE
