Are made up TV program characters making the viewer feel separated from the events? Becky Crosby, who reads at least two books a week and can be seen pulling out a book at the end of almost every period, says that she enjoys being put in the position of the person telling the story. Are computers replacing books as a major source of informa- tion? Do students still use refer- ence books? “There are a lot more researen projects going on this year and the library is full almost every period, said Mrs. Wirt, librarian. However, read- ing for pleasure and books checked out per week is down over fifty percent from last year. What about the movie versus the book? Is the movie better? I'd much rather read the book, said Matthew Powell. I get more de- tail on the characters and set- tings that way. Gene Stafford agrees.

People We’re in this together Painting faces, hanging banners, making a Christ- mas chain, having a penny war. We see it every day, we hear it every week — but do we recognize it? It's more than spirit, it's dedication — to our school, to our class, to ourselves, and to each other. ''When I'm down I know I can count on my friends to pick me up. They seem to understand, said Shawn Burdue. People here are so willing to help, Jennifer Simon said, not like some of the other schools I've seen at football games. It's a willingness to go that extra mile, Some of those summer days and winter mornings in band got pret- ty rough, but it all ended up worth it on December 6, Reese Davis said. It doesn't stop at our walls. it floods into the commu- nity. The student coun- cil's new way of collecting money for the Goodfellows should raise more money this year than ever, Tresa Adair stated. At the same time we're helping our class in the class of the year competition. It all goes to show that from seniors to seventh graders, we're in this to- gether. My first impression of high school was awful. 1 was so scared and didn't know where to go or what to do. But every- one was understanding and helpful. If I couldn't find a class or open a locker, I could always find someone to help. But now anyone in seventh grade will agree that high school is great.
