Take It From Us Seniors are always griping about the eighth graders getting in their way; they even call eighth graders little crumb crunchers, as if they had never done anything to insult their own intelligence, said Russell Wilson as he started the long string of amazing stories about embarrassing moments. Pho- tos by Ric Lunsford I can remember in the eighth grade when I tied a string to a and led it to the pencil sharp- ener, saying 'Come on puppy!' Miss Knight told me to throw it away. I wadded it up yelping like a dying dog.'' Russell Wilson ► I can remember the look on Mrs. Wilkin's face in the tenth grade when I threw a paper airplane and it stuck in her bouffant hair-do.” Nickey Abbott I can remember in the eighth grade, during Agri when I squirted Green's white oxford with oil because I thought he needed to loosen up. I kept on saying Oops!' but Mr. Mac wasn't too happy. Britton Julien

Photo by Stanley Sharp Seniors Tu rn Into Karate Kids Mr. Monty Atchley, the school counselor, has intro- duced a new art form to the school — martial arts. He runs the Arkansas Kempo and Gung-fu Acade- my, one of four in the state. He says he chose these two forms of martial arts because they are the two most effec- tive styles he is familiar with. He teaches how to fight and defend one's self, meditation and breathing techniques, physiology, first aid, and CPR. For two class hours a week, and two to three hours work- ing on their own, the students must be dedicated to doing their best. The self-discipline neces- sary to learn the art allows his students to improve their self-confidence, self-esteem, and goal-setting abilities. A code of ethics goes hand- in-hand with the discipline and instruction. Any misuse of the knowledge results in immediate dismissal from the academy. Why do the students do it? Steve Earls, who will be up for his first black belt soon, and Mark Walker have been tak- ing lessons for a few years and have chosen it as a hobby. Russ Biggs and Marc McEl- veen, beginners, decided to take the'classes for the self- improvement the art would provide. Master George Ng, one of Mr. Atchley's first teachers, said, “The essence of Gung-fu is the way of the hard-work- ing gentleman. By Eric Nel- son and Stanley Sharp
