Ed Contreras - You couldn't find me on the week-
end. No one ever knows where I am. My coolest
adventure so far was up north at Camp Nelson. I
went 5 miles along the creek past waterfalls, large
rocks, and more than you can imagine. The next
day I went down the same path and everything
was different. It couldn't be explained. What
happened would have to be investigated by a par-
apsychologist. If I could be any animal in the
world, I would probably be a criosphinx, a mytho-
logical animal because of the silence. My own
special quality is extreme originality and imagi-
nation. A mind of various modes of operation.
The exquisite trace of mystique. If I had a million
dollars I would use enough to live on and for mass
travel around the world. And the rest I would give
to my friends (you know who you are!). Ten years
from now I see myself as sovereign. Jim Morri-
son, John Arch, and Steve Harris are all my idols.
I look for compatibility and a certain degree of
intellect in girls. I feel that there is no sanity or
insanity. Some people have different perspec-
tives.

Kari Jimenez - I was given a dead grasshopper when I
was in elementary school. This is probably the weirdest
gift I ever received. The hardest part of growing up is
learning to be okay with who you really are. I have true
compassion for my fellow human beings and I also get
along well with animals. I have a unique way of talking.
Everything 1s a nightmare of a total dream, the best or
worst thing ever. I always say "whatever". Putting my
hand into the back of the refrigerator when the kitchen
light is out frightens me even though I know there's no
reason to be afraid. Getting a bad haircut is my biggest
nightmare. Right now I like to run amuck, but two
years from now I probably won't enjoy it.
