Beautifying Boring Bulletin I think it ' s a good idea for teachers to decorate their boards, this way when I get bored in class I have something interesting to look at, confessed Kelly Drexler, sophomore. ver walk into your new £,— classroom and there S - were new posters all over your teacher ' s bulletin board? Or you take a test and all you hear is the stapler being pounded all over the board? Many of the teachers decorated their bulletin boards to add life to their room. I decorated my walls, because I liked my room to be cheerful, and I also like art, stated Mrs. Bonnie Williams. Teachers usually decorated their bulletin boards according to the class they taught. Bulletin boards not only took time, but cost money that the teachers paid. Even though it cost money from my own pocket to decorate my room, I still did it, because it was attractive and because it made the room reflect the subject I taught, revealed Miss Dolores Sanchez. Bulletin boards also gave the students an opportunity to learn something new. Mot only did teachers have a unique way of decorating their bulletin boards, but most had an interesting way of setting up their classroom rules. Mr. Larry Mumma did his class rules along with driving rules. I liked the way Mr. Mumma wrote his rules, because he used street signs which helped explain them, stated Ian Ap- pleford, junior. Some teachers went as far as making their rules the best by decorating them with drawings. According to some students they felt that bulletin boards were interesting to look at. It was better to have decorated walls rather than having bare walls to stare at every day. I thought that bul- letin boards were a good idea, because it helped me under- stand my classes better, re- vealed Sondra Strawbridge, ju- nior. by Kathy Rykaczewski LOOKING OVER THE REPORTS Ka- ren Jones, a junior, reads Mrs. Linda Stonebreakers Advanced English 1 bi- ography book reports.

How Do You Get To I like to drive my car to school because it makes me feel more independent. Stacey Bloomberg, junior. f etting to school was [ easy for some, and a K r long haul for others. Many students had their parents take them to school while others walked, rode their bike, or took the bus. My mother use to drive me to school. Then I got my car and started driving myself, said CeeJay Dreany, junior. Sunny days were perfect for strolling along to and from school, or riding a brand new ten speed bike. Most people didn ' t mind walking but others preferred to ride in a car. Rainy days caused some problems. Some students had to walk home in the rain. Others had convertible car tops that were down, and they ended up having a mini lake on their seats. During fifth period, it was raining, and Mrs. Phyllis Muhleman let me go out to the parking lot. I had to convince Bob to let me put the top up. But it was already pouring and there were puddles in my car, laughed Anna Rakstang, junior. For students who had to ride the school bus, it could be a noisy ride. Some buses went to pick up Chemawa Middle School before finishing the route. I didn ' t like it when the buses went to pick up Chemawa students because they were too loud and obnox- ious. Also, we could have got- ten home in less time if we didn ' t have to pick them up, said Tara Geisner, sophomore. Sometimes the bus would leave almost right after the bell rings. The buses should wait a little bit longer after school be- cause sometimes I need to talk to my teacher but I don ' t have enough time, said Kristina Cauthen, freshman. Other students rode their skateboards or bikes to school. After we get to school we put our skateboards in our bags, said sophomores David Elledge and Darrell Harpster. I ride my bike to school when I can ' t get a ride from someone else. said Lance Ruffcorn, junior. There were many different ways to get to and from school. Whether it was one or the oth- er, it didn ' t matter as long as students got to their destina- tion. EEBM33M3 ' Huxford sits on the school bus. Stu- dents who lived farther than walking distance from the school had to ride the bus 60 • STUDENT LIFE
