 I only strive for perfection in certain things, but as long as I do pass the subjects I have I'm happy. — Chuck Swafford Photo by Ric Lunsford Do you strive for perfection or do you just try to pass? Why? I try to be above average but some- times a 60 is a welcome sight. — Ric Lunsford Photo by Mike Robbins Ashleigh Thrasher and Heather Harris pose with Representative Frank Willems during their stint as senatorial pages.

Even though practices may seem to be a real bother, you realize in the long-run that it is really worth it. After years of monoto- nous practice, the Lady Bear cats proved it pays off. The Lady Cats captured their third District Cham- pionship in a four year span. With a bye to the fin- als, the Lady Cats faced the Mansfield Tigers, Friday, February 26. After an over- whelming 63-44 win, the Lady Cats then traveled to Westfork to take on Gra- vette March 3 in the Northwest Regional Tour- nament. Trailing by three to four points the whole game, even coming within one point right before the half, they could never come out ahead and lost 34-28. The five starters achieved recognition by being named to the All- District team. Trena and Tresa Adair, Brenda Tom- lin, and Michelle Whitaker were named All-District; Martha VanAllen received Honorable Mention. Brenda Tomlin was also selected to play for a Junior Olympic team this sum- mer. She, Michelle Whi- taker, and Trena Adair were recognized as players of the week in the Arkan- sas Democrat. Trena Adair also re- ceived first team All-Area, All-State, and All-Region. By Lisa Lippard.

Good enough many times has your science grade suf- fered so you could work on an English paper? Or how about just passing a class you hate so you can be through with it? Yes, the body of school is the total experience of classes mixed with clubs and socialization, but academics is the heart and souL Time presses in on studying, with jobs and dates vy- ing with grades for attention. A student often must make the hard choice between what he wants to do and his homework. Stories abound of this or that person sleep- ing through a class because of an all-night study session (or party, or job, of concert). Everything depends on his plans — whether he just wants to pass, or whether he wants to go on to college. Courses to fit everyone are available, depending on those future plans, from college- preparatory to vocational education. The vocational classes allow the less college-oriented to prepare for a job, and challenge them as much as an advanced math or physics class would a college-prep student. However, gone are the days when four years of basket weaving would be sufficient to graduate. New standards require a student to have twenty credits, with five credits in science and math, four credits in English, and three credits in social sciences, with one-half credit each in health, P.E., and fine arts. The fine art credit can be a bonus for some students, allowing them to relax while playing a piece of music or making a belt. Gone are the days when one could just drift through four years of high school. The pressure for excellence has been renewed, and it's no longer good enough to be just Good Enough.
