Just say NO! Are you pressured by your peers? Do you have to have a pair of Guess jeans just because your best friend has some, or maybe your pressure from your peers is more serious. Do you have” to drink so everyone will accept you? Just say NO! The Reach pro- gram would say to these situa- tions. The Reach program, orga- nized at the first of this year, meets to discuss problems that teens deal with from day-to-day and how alcohol is usually the result of these pressures. Shawn Barnard, leader of Reach, said, A bunch of us students get together and discuss some of our problems. In our discussion we talk about how alcohol is not the answer. Kendra Woefel, also a member of Reach, commented, I don't understand how people can mess up their lives with drugs and alcohol just because their friends do it. Vince Guise seemed to have the solution. He said, I don't let what other people say bother me. I shrug it off or just say I don't care what they say. I'm go- ing to decide what's best for me. Gary Gray and Sherry Scantling decided that eating in the lunchroom may be the most economic way to have lunch. Joe Hicks says, Home-Ec is not just for girls. 18 Don't you forget it

Talk’s cheap, but hard work is Talk's cheap. Yeah, it sure is. We could sit around wishing about the way we want things to be. Some want more weekend entertainment. Others argue for more school activities. But, there are those who don't sit and won- der. They work with what they've got. Some of these people are the contes- tants for Mr. and Miss BHS, a money- making project for Senior Beta Club. With the money that is made, the Sen- ior Beta Club attends the State Con- vention in Little Rock. Not only do the contestants provide an evening of entertainment for Booneville citizens, they also make money. First of all, there is all the hard work needed for this contest by the contes- tants. Keeping up with current events and developing a talent (for girls only) are only a couple of the responsibil- ities. The other aspect is money. Money is needed for making posters, renting a tux or buying a new suit, buying an Jason Rowe decides to get a snack, but can he find his money? Priceless evening gown, etc. All the work isn't just left up to the contestants, though. The members of the Senior Beta Club are responsible for the lights, the sound system, the curtains, the programs, and the pub- licity. Other hard-working people are the candidates for King and Queen of Hearts. The competition is based upon who can raise the most money for FBLA. The contestants for this contest must work hard also. Much time before, during, and after school is spent collecting money from who- ever is willing to give. The winners are announced at a specified senior high basketball game, where everyone curiously awaits to hears the name of the King and Queen of Hearts. Even though talk's cheap compared to the hard work of these people and more, the feeling of respect, confi- dence and importance that this hard work does earn is priceless. Looking so enthused, Tasi Adair shares her comments with Lani May on the way to an- other volleyball game.
