Day 1 in 7th Grade I tear through the hall trying to remember where my locker and next class is. I finally find my locker the minute the bell rings for class. Digging through the books and notes to find the books that I need, I find that one book that has been hiding from me. I slam my locker closed and go with the flow of the crowd to my classroom, which, thank- goodness, is nearby. I ease into my seat so that I am not noticed by the teacher who is starting to take role call. I must look uptight because one of my friends whispers across the isle, Relax, this teacher isn't as strict as the last one we had. Iinally, lunch time! We raced up the hill only to find all the lines reached the door. Seeing that the regular line was moving Easter, we choose it. Aker waiting for what seemed like a life-time, we received our trays. We found a table and began eating when we noticed that it was already time to go back to class. We wolfed down our last bites and raced back down the hill to start all over again with trying to find books and classes in this new world. Renee?

I am sure that there will be a lot of ad- justments to make. Having a different teach- er and room for e a c h c la s s might be fun, getting through the hall to your locker and then to your room in five minutes will be difficult, but Ill get the hang of it. With all the books and papers for each class, it will be hard keeping up with them. Even though seventh grade sounds hectic and challenging, I am looking forward to getting there.

ELEMEN TAR Y PRINCIPAL EMPHASIZES S TUDEN TXPAREN T IN VOL VEMEN T My first year as an elementary principal has been enjoyable, productive, and rewarding. Through the combined effort of seventeen Gculty members for grades two through four, students ha ve stayed in- volved in school affairs and achieved academically. First, two new programs ha ve proved the students more individual attention. A supplemental math class to reinforce classroom instruction was taught by entry- year teacher Mrs. Kathy LoHon. Addi- tionally, the classroom teachers used the Computer Lab to maintain skills introduced to students in the classroom. Two musical productions coordinated by elemen- tary music director Kathy Lokon involved all 289 elementary students: At Thanksgiving, students generous contributions of food filled nine baskets. In March, students collected and donated over J2000 to jump-Rope- for-Heart, a unified AHA effort coordinated by janice Hobbs. In April, two fourth graders Lori Starkey and Austin Orphan won the first Byng Direct Pee Wee Spelling Contest. Four awards assemblies honored students who were scholastic achievers as well as those with perfect attendance. Throughout the entire year, parents stayed in close contact with the teachers and me. Their support and trust for the Byng School system made our job easier and their chil- d nn s. 1' , ren wi er ,lj Z,4,z,d- A Betty Rose Allred .N f,.f. ' f i . N X K I 0 Q . i I ' V Z3 'Q lf!

x saw' 'AS XCHANGE SYSTEM 15 Prospective pilot Mary Schafer, 11, a sutth grader, was undaunted by three-to-one odds, boys over girls, at the Space Camp she attended last weekend at the Space and Rocket Center, Huntsville, Ala. A perfect minature rocket launch and a successful mock space shuttle mission helped Schafer to win one of three awards given at the camp. Oflicials told her she had won the Right Stuff A ward for beihg one step ahead ofthe other kids. Schakrs mother, Carla Murray, said weekend space camps ha ve been added because of increased applications this year. A movie which had the camp as its sertuzg was released a few months ago sparking even more interest in the govemment-sponsored camp where participants are allowed to experience many o the same types of training given to U.S. astronauts. Although the weekend session was half as long as the regular session, Schafer said the campers not only ,participated in the three mam events: mmiture nocket launch, decision making for a large space stmcrure and mock s uttle mission, but visited the museum, saw movies in the space dome and even had free time. The group was also taken on a tour of the Marshall Space Center in Huntsville where the shuttle and its missions are designed. Schakr was cast as a Mission .Tecialist 1 and her part in the mock mission consisted ofa walk in space in the cargo bay section ofthe shuttle simu tor. Even though actual weghtlessness is not part ofthe simulation, Schafer practiced on the five degrees of freedom, a machine which simulates walking th space, in preparation for the shuttle simulation. She also wore a space suit during the exercise which was a success for her team, the Mercury Team. Schafer was the only Oklahoman among the 24 youths attending last weekend is space camf session where she was one of seven girls. Her goal is to be a pilot someday which, she added hopefully, could lea to becoming an astronaut. Schafer said she was not frightened or apprehensive durmg 2 1X2 days of events, and recommends the camp to everyone.
