According to Susan, nvolvement makes one feel closer to the chool and more like a part of it. She plans p attend UALR and major in Business rdministration. l l Future plans for Lynne Stewart include majoring in computer science at the University of Arkansas. She said that she wished she had taken more college prepara- tory classes in high school, so that she would not have to spend college time taking them. Lynne also stated, I have enjoyed my three years at McClellan. I will never forget my many and varied experiences with my teachers and friends. .sw Feeling like her award acknowledged her hard work, Deanna King said, I feel that National Merit Finalist was a good goal to try for. More people at our school should set goals and work for them, step by step. It is not hard to achieve your goals if you just work steadily toward them. Much more can be accomplished by goal setting than just sitting around, waiting for something to fall in your lap. Deanna's future plans include attending the University of Arkansas and majoring in chemistry. Brett Rogers' message for the school is McClellan is far from being a perfect school, but on the whole, I can't think of any other school I would rather have gone to. The activeness of McClellan students and the openness of the atmosphere has, in my opinion, helped me and other students here to attain a greater level of maturity than at most schools, and has helped prepare us for life. Brett plans to go to the University of Arkansas and major in history or political science. After college, he intends to go to Law School. Senior Honors! 1 69

They announced the scholar- ship winners in April and May. 168 f Senior Honors lll0l' BCGIVB Award winner Mitch Powell stated, I think one thing that makes the people of McClellan so unique is that they don't try to put up any fronts. They act like themselves and are their own individuals. If there's one thing that can make you be a better person, it's learning to be yourself. This isn't always easy to do, but once you begin to do so, you'll find things will go a lot smoother? The main influence in Mitchis life has been Jesus Christ. According to him, anything that he has done is because of Jesus. Mitch plans to go to Ouachita Baptist University, major in education, and become a teacher. While teaching, he plans to be a pastor of a Baptist church and eventually become a fulltime pastor. Lori Dellinger plans to attend the University of Arkansas and she would like to own a business someday. She feels that her award has helped her realize what she can do if she tries. When asked what she would change about her high school years if she could change something, Lori replied, I would have taken more math classes from Mr. Cloud because he laughs at my jokes.
