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

A welcome break from class provides Hands On but not each other It's all in the way it's handled. In labs — the best part of class — rarely is there a student who doesn't wel- come a break from the usu- al monotonous class hour. Lab isn't just limited to chemistry; Home Ec., Crafts, Agri and Journal- ism all have labs. Home Economics lab lasts almost all year round. Smells of bacon and eggs linger in the halls after stu- dents experiment with their cooking talents. And there's sewing — where students get to sport their designer clothing. What about those skin- ny wooden sticks and spools of colored twine we see dragging along behind some students? Crafts, simple. Brenda Tomlin said, Macrame is pretty easy, just tie a bunch of knots. It does take a lot of time to get it right. Crafts isn't the only class that requires extra time. In Agri, it's welding; Katy Fitzgerald comment- ed, I enjoy it, but I hate wearing those ugly, grey shields! Journalism also tackles a type of lab. The Bearcat Eyes published by the Journalism department is put together from scratch. Headlines and articles have to be attached to a piece of paper exactly right. They also learn how to take pic- tures, create layouts, and of course, write informative articles. Sounds like work. So why do students enjoy it? Probably because it's all in the way it's handled.
