Miss K. Pierce, Department Chairman, says, "We think that the style we have natters the girls figures better than any other we've looked at."

Andy Kirsteins had something different to say, "They're functional, but they should be more revealing."

Mary Ellen Blanford '80, said "I like them. They're all right."

Clifton Taylor '81, exclaimed, "They're great! I wear them around the house all the time." Did he mean boys' gymsuits or girls'?

There was no doubt which Mary Lafeber '80, meant when she said, "They should be made out of cellophane."

Lisa O'Connor said, "Mine is too tight in the rear end. That's why I haven't taken any co-ed classes."
