Seniors Paul Deal, Janell Lehmann, Mary Anne Hansel, Sharon Keeling, Steve Howard, and Brian Parker received scores high enough onthe PSAT to be named National Merit semifinalists. National Merit is an organization that gives scholarships to deserving students. After being named a semifinalist, the six took the SAT and received a sufficient score to be named a finalist. After being named a finalist, full scholarships were offered them . A full scholarship would really really take the load off my parents to come up with the money, Paul said. Now I can use the money for something special, he added. TOP OF THE BAG

Who's Who CP of the Just BASIC? Adding to Kickapoo's computer software, Alex Stone, sophomore, has designed a Spanish program written in BASIC to serve as a vocabulary work sheet and review for student use. I was happy to make the program that my friends were able to use, Alex said. Alex's range in computers has branched off into the business field. Centerre Bank and Dayco used the sophomore's talents to help employees make the switch from typewriters to computers. Homework also was done on the computer. I use my computer for all school work. It just makes sense because I can type faster than I write, and it makes for neater work, Alex said.

The thrill elevated over the tiny preparation when a third place trophy was won from the second annual Missouri Academic Decathlon held in St. Louis on Feb.6. Beginning in October, the senior members Janell Lehmann, Paul Deal, Mary Ann Hansel, Steve Howard along with junior Mitch Potts, and Colleen Donica began practicing. Everytime we met, we were handed a big bundle of , in- formation on everything from famous economists to WWII, senior Janell Lehmann said. Competing at the Decathlon required each member to be knowledgeable in the broad spectrum of academics. Writing essays, giving speeches, and interviews were also a part of the day's events. Although it was hard work, it turned out to be something I was proud to be a part of with a school I was proud to represent behind me 100 per cent, junior Collen Donica said. ka' -Yi'-s..'1is:-5. .iv Q f 1 I .. .. . -.,-1 Elected juniors, Susan Hansen, Lori Outz, and Lainie Sinky attended a three-week seminar of the Missouri Scholars Academy at University of Missouri in Columbia, MO.

Such things as hair styles to music tastes varied drastically from year to year. A student may have found his tastes about something totally different by the time that he became a senior. When I was a freshman, I hated many of the clothes that I Wear and love now. Because times and fashions are always changing, what is in now may be completely out next year, senior Angela Howell said. Styles and tastes weren't the only things that changed. This past year marked the end of the drive-in theatres in Springfield. Instead of the drive-in, people were going to the insomnia cinema. I'd rather go to the insomnia cinema because it's a lot more fun. I think it was time for the end of the drive-ins because we are entering a new age that just doesn't include it, junior Michelle Lovett said. When a student steps back and looks at his high school years, he can sometimes recall how he thought he had it in the bag , but, in reality, he was just going along with all of the fads. He can remember all of the fashions and crazes and compare them with what is in today and say that THAT WAS THEN AND THIS IS NOW.
