een Curfew: What We Really Think
by Chandra Ruff
Teen crimes and crimes with teen victims are the reason that most people are in favor of a curfew. Almost 3/4 of Irving teens don't think that Lincoln
6 ~ crimes are very bad.
When talking to your friends, you might hear that they would never follow a curfew. Then, "Why
students don't have a curfew right now. Thosethatdothough, need to be home from 9:00 to 11 :00 on weeknights, and 10:00 PM to 1 :00 AM on week-ends. The Irving
Katy Mason thinks that, "Unless
we are doing damage to property or harm to others, a curfew is not necessary."
teens that don't have a curfew, are usually out until about the same times any way.
The age :.:-.,:; · .,..,·--;•._--- would they pass a - - curfew if no one was ---------• groups that were suggested for a curfew were widely varied. Th ey •ranged _ going to obey it?" you ask. Despite what people say, according to the surv.ey, about 50% of Irving students said that, if the curfew passed, they would obey it. 80% • of Irving students don't think that the curfew will accomplish its goal, which is to keep crime rates down. The results of the survey show that anywhere betwe~n 11 :00 PM and 1 :00 AM seem to be the best time for a curfew. According to the survey, most Irving
from 10-20. Roughly 120 of Irving students thought that kids 11 and under need a curfew. About 50 thought that kids 13-17 need a curfew. The rest of the suggestions fell in between the two ages. Overall, around 75% of the teens at Irving are against the curfew being passed, 15% are in favor of the curfew, and the rest are undecided. Survey results are based on the 565 surveys that were returned.

Born To Be Wild
Love and Stuff: 8th Graders Reveal ALL!
By Chelsea Maitland
Aw, ain't that sweet?
There comes a time in a young person's life that they begin to consider their future: love, dating, marriage. Wait, love? Yep, that 4 letter word can be a big thing in a person's life. It can make, or break a person's heart, and it can change a life, for better, or worse. Eighth graders say that having a boyfriend or girlfriend is not too important in the majority of their lives.
8th graders think that there are ma n y specific qualaties they w ould like to have in a boyfr i end, or girlfriend. Some of the qualaties they needed to have were that they had to be cu t e , or pretty , not smart , and on ly half of the 8th graders said t hat their boy/ girlfriend had to be popular.
"Love is good" - Niki Oberheu
Do 8th graders think that they are too young to be dating? Everyone except two people said no. As Adam Ortman put it, "I think that 8th grade is WAY too young." John Crane agreed. "I think we should be concerned with more important s tuff ," he said, "like school work." Most students felt that they had the choice when they were going to date or not, but would they tell their parent$? 50% said that they would not tell.
The average amount of people each eighth grader liked at this moment in time was 3. "But I would never go out with more then one girl at a time," Chris Buckley said. "That's just a death wish!"
The majority of 8th graders said that when they go out on dates, they go to parties, they hang out or go to the movies. And after the date are there any expectations??? Most people want their boy/girlfriend to be romantic. 50% wanted their signifigant other to bring them flowers, write them love letters, and give them gifts. All eighth graders said that having a boyfriend or girlfriend is extremely nice. As Niki Oberheu said, "Love is good. It adds a certain something to my life that can't be filled by anything else."

The Storm of '97 -
By Stefanie Tomkins
The weather thi s pa t year has been very weird. At the end of December/ the beginning of January, it was in the 50's outside. It was in the 80's until the beginning of October. But the weirdest weather that hit Lincoln thi s year was the '"Storm of '97 .''
On October 25th , it taited to now. There were only supposed to be one or two inches on the ground, not much of a big deal.
But the next day , Lincoln woke up to a disaster. Trees were down, wires were down, most everyone's power was out, and everyone was worried about what was to come.
We didn't have to go to school for an entire week. That was prob~bly one of the most memorable things about the storm for mo t of Lincoln students. It was great to get an unexpected week of school off!
But when there is a good, there is sometimes a bad. We had to make up all the time we missed. That meant that school would start at 7:45 instead of 8:00, and would get out at 3:25 instead of 2:50. For the rest of first semester, we had to go to school for 50 extra minutes!
As I write this now, all of us are till having to go to school for the extra time. Though most of us don't like it very much, eeing everyone walking down the hall reassures me that it isn't too bad, and that we will all survive.

The Seventh Grade Dance
By Emily Green
The first dance in a new school is always exciting. It is your chance to dress up and impress the guys or girls (whatever the case may be) with your fabulous dance moves and stunning outfit, or it used to be.
This year's seventh grade dance fell on Friday, November 7. The dance started at 3:00 PM and went
until 5:00 PM. Most people seemed to like it and were having a good time. A lot of the seventh graders, though,
talk or cool down after a dance or two. The Student Council members and those from Journalism did their best to encourage the seventh graders to dance. Complete with everything from a DJ to coo-kies and soda, the student council really did a good job. The cafeteria was a very popular place
" .... Being with friends was fun," said Kirsten
Schubach.

after an hour of dancing. The dances are designed to help people get to know each other and have a good time. For first year junior high dances are almost always a kind of uncomfortable event. Seventh graders
on the night of the dance. The Jt>OP and cookies being served seemed to favor clumping into small or large groups to talk. Some of the seventh graders simply walked around looking for something to do, but often some would dance. Quite a few of the seventh graders were to be found lurking in dark corners or sitting against the wall to

New School; New Fads
By Elizabeth Christensen
The fall of 1997 brought a change in schools for the new 7th grader . Along with a new school it brought new views, new trends, and new friends.
7th grader at Irving like to dress comfortably. Widelegjeans, Jnco , Nikes, striped shrits and thermals top the list along with ball chain and hemp necklaces, 70' s clothes, and flared jeans.
When it comes to shopping each 7th grader is pretty unique. While some like shopping at Gadzooks and Hot Topic, The Gap and Claire's Boutique are well liked too. Going to vintage stores for retro clothes is popular also, along with going to Target and getting in on bargains.
Music likes ranged from pop rock to ska, but the favorite was alternative. Their favorite T.V show is clearly "South Park."
It takes two to tango!
Rach e l Res tau models a popular look: Thermals under T-shirts
After school activities ranged from basketball to dance to singing. Some 7th graders liked going skateboarding and hanging out at skateboarding store .
Each 7th grader is pretty unique. Many take pride in this and the uniquenes of the scho(?l. Jacque Niles said, "Everyone wears what they want at Irving, and that is cool."
