Academics You’ve got that right Hello. The news for UK' night. In Northern Ireland, Portestant youths stoned Catholic marchers. In New York, Punkers' knifed a reporter. Forsythe County white teens attacked and killed a black civil rights leader. In Booneville, stu- dents were told of their top ten graduates, National Merit Scholars, and honor roll ... A fictitious newcast, to be sure, but Booneville does seem to have its share of National Merit scholars, gifted and talented pro- gram attenders, and stu- dents with high grade points. Booneville may not be free of all the problems of 'big cities', but the people try to bring the good where others can see it, instead of just the bad things, said Kim Mulson. The teachers encourage everybody to do well. It looks good for them — and us too, said Leon Fuell. The high scores do reflect well on our school, the teachers, and they certainly do reflect well on us when we apply for scholarships and college. If, after this, you think grades and hard work are important, you've got that right. Success in high school would be a good way to start life. If success has een experienced, the knowledge of what it takes makes an easier foundation on which to Id the rest of your life. Mr. Prcwetl congratulates Thom- as Foy as he hands him the certifi- cate naming him a National Merit Finalist. Divider 59

Honors Have you ever wondered if all the hard work you put into your homework or term papers really pays off? Of course, for some it does. But for a few, hard work isn't the key; talent and intelli- gence are. This past summer, Shirley Gill attended a seminar in Science and Human Values at UCA in Conway. This seminar lasted a total of 3 weeks. Shirley com- mented, The seminar was a lot like school, but a lot more fun. One of the parts of it she en- joyed the most was studying overpopulation in China and also studying technology's ef- fects on our lives today. Shirley stated, It was so interesting to see and study about subjects dif- ferent than the ordinary. Plus, the instructors showed us, the students, how we are affected by our environment and peers. Even though Shirley was one of the many individuals who at- tended, she replied, I felt so honored to be able to go. And it made me work even harder to let bestowed on BHS students everyone see how proud I was. It was a great privilege. Another example of an honor- able nomination is Governor's School. Eric Nelson was asked by Mrs. Phelps to fill out an ap- plication for the 5 weeks of seminar during the summer va- cation. I applied for the field of instrumental music, so I have to audition in March. I won't find out until after that if I was ac- cepted. 1 also signed up for math, social sciences, and Eng- lish, Eric replied. Although Governor's School is an honor, being accepted in the Enhanced Learning Program at our school is too. Every student nominated had to complete an application for this program. Lisa Lippard applied and was ac- cepted. Lisa commented, I had to choose the area I wanted to study, either math, science, or English. I chose algebra because I know my future occupation will be more math related. In Mrs. Woolley's eighth grade science class, Mrs. Woolley, Jeff Pruitt, Law- rence Capes, and Jim Richardson work together on the stream table. You've got that right
