Becky and the other contestants sold Chick- a-Chuck supper tickets to raise money for im- provements to the fair- grounds. A total of $2,000 was raised, $865 of which Becky collected during the contest. Becky was escorted by Allen Thrasher, presi- dent of the Booneville Rotary Club.

Old McDonald had a farm E-l-E-I-O and on this farm they prepared for the fair E-I-E-I-O A little brushing here, A little training there Here a cow, There a pig Everywhere a frantic pace Preparations were some- times tedious but usually it was worth it. Joe Richardson said, My dad and I had to train the cows to lead, and we also had to feed them extra well ' Jamie Phillips said, Even though I had to wash, groom, feed, water, and clean up after the cow, I liked winning a ribbon. However, sometimes the animal just doesn't want to cooperate. Just ask Daniel Simpson. After all the preparations had been made, my cow ran away when it was time for her to be judged. After hours of chasing her, 1 was really frustrated. Does the saying, All work and no play apply to the fair? No way. Weldon Gartman said, One night Andy and John Stone, Joe Foster, and I got into a wa- ter balloon fight which lasted until about 1:30 a.m. We really had fun, even though we did get kind of wet. Several students were ac- tive in the competitions at the fair. Joe Richardson's cattle won a trophy and three ribbons. John Stone entered a Brangus steer and won second place in show- manship. Jamie Phillips won three first place rib- bons for chickens he en- tered. The fair is not just for animals. While Daniel Simpson did have animals entered, he also entered hot sauce, canned goods, and honey. Dee O’Bar had a pastel drawing entered. Whether animals or crafts are entered, the fair gives students a chance to create and display their pride and joy. By Lisa Lip- pa rd GOOD TIMES LA YOUT DESIGN BY: JENNIFER SIMON

Dr. Irene Lee spoke to B.H.S. students about Education for Parenting. Photo by Mieke Kauffman What will I do with my future? is the question Frank Johnson and James Mashburn were pondering during the College Fair. Photo by Trena Adair AH right, short periods today ” When everyone hears that there is an assembly during homeroom, com- ments like, All right, short period! and, Good, extra time to finish my chemistry! are heard be- cause it usually means a couple of their classes will be cut short. Of course some assemblies are educa- tional, but others are just plain fun! The assembly on Educa- tion for Parenting led by Dr. Irene Lee provided im- portant information for the students; one of the topics concentrated on was teen pregnancies. She stated 10 out of every 100 teenage girls become pregnant ev- ery year; and 96% of these girls keep their babies. She encouraged the students to think about the conse- quences before they get into a critical situation. Dr. Lee touched the sur- face on drugs and alcohol, but a previous speaker, Paul Jackson, spoke more in depth on the subject. He informed students about the dangers that drugs posed for them. He also ex- plained how using drugs takes away your ability to make your own choices in life. These assemblies are definitely significant to our school; however, every- one enjoys a good jam ses- sion once in a while. When the Air Force band from Barksdale, Louisiana, Air Force Base came to our school, many people — in- cluding Mr. Prewett — were expecting an 80 piece band playing The Stars and Stripes Forever. But students and teachers were pleasantly surprised when the five member band started rocking to our fa- vorite tunes. Students danced in the stands and many of them saw a sight not many people have seen or will ever see again! Buckley Foster mischie- vously persuaded Mrs. Phelps to come out on the floor and show everyone how to boogie. Assemblies like these are typical of our school. We enjoy them and learn from them. And when you hear about the next assembly, you bet it'll be good! By Kim Mulson GOOD TIMES LAYOUT DESIGN BY. KELLY MCCLENDON
