JA, Paper Hectic Stations Learning the responsibility of running a business and a trade is not an easy job, but can make the difference in the future world of work. Students taking part in Ju- nior Achievement and “The Orange Ex- press’’, our newspaper, learned how a busi- ness operates and how to operate a busi- ness. With the council of Mr. Larry Hunley and Mr. Wesley Osborne the students of J.A. made barettes and magazine racks. They attended a spaghetti supper where they got orders for these products. Elected officers received a set salary of $4.00 a month while the regular workers made 40 cents an hour. It was the job of Elizabeth Eubanks, Lisa Reaves and Mitsy Witt as- semble hair barretts, one of the money making items J.A. made lt Newspaper the secretary-treasurer to keep the books and the bank account. She also had to write the checks. The “Orange Express” printed four edi- tions, one at the beginning of school — a welcome back edition, one on Valentine’s Day, a St. Patrick’s Day copy, and the last edition honoring graduating seniors. With the help of Mrs. Helen Goldsmith, advi- sor, and Kevin Owen, editor, the “Orange Express” recorded events of student life and opinions of students such as the heart messages in the February paper. Patti Foster and Robbie Duff put finishing touches on their hair barretts. J.A. workers met faithfully every Monday from 6 til 8 p.m. Advisors Larry Hunley, and Wes Osborne show Eli- zabeth Eubanks and Troy Brown how to construct magazine racks, one of the products manufactured by J.A. workers

Officers Broaden Contacts While many of us enjoyed our summer vacation swimming, dancing, and visiting out-of-town, the SCA began its work. Meeting at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Stanley Goldsmith, parents of Bruce Goldsmith, SCA president, the officers discussed activities for the student body, as well as new responsibilities for officers to give the president daily contact with the student body. Bruce announced the school agenda every morning over the intercom. He discussed with Mr. Erb ideas to benefit students and also announced plays at home football games while vice-president Greg Pribble announced plays at home basketball games. Both Bruce and Greg served on the faculty advisory council. Along with additional officer duties, the school store moved to the second floor in D 204, and the suggestion box was trans- ferred to Mr. Booker’s office. Another change terminated homeroom representa- tives. Class officers were substituted, so PSOSCA the governing body of SCA was composed of them and SCA officers. Several socials were sponsored by the SCA. In October a Halloween dance was held. As an option students wore costumes. In December, a Christmas dance for which students donat- ed canned goods for the food shelter as part of their admission brightened the holiday. The SCA also sponsored dances after football games and for the Middle School. In May, elections for new officers took place followed by an induction cere- mony to swear them in. On its third year, the school store is still making a lot of profit. Its new location in room D 204 allows for ample space for additional supplies. Purchasing items from employees Karen Ogden and Crystal Myers are Rodney Hogue and Sylvester Toller. At one of the dances sponsored by the SCA, couples Amanda Shelton and Keith Treadway, Cindy Kelly and Tony Wade, and Mrs. E.H. Lane III and Bruce Goldsmith enjoy the slow pace of the music. A new task for SCA vice president Greg Pribble is to announce players for home basketball games.
