c - If Lockers Could Talk s),: • Ouch! said locker 254. I wish these freshmen wouldn ' t be so hard on us lockers. I mean everyday we are banged into, slammed, engraved upon, and sometimes they even cover up our insides with stickers that can- not be removed, but some of us have been lucky over the years. We have nice boarders who decorate us really cool looking and worship us until they leave the school. Why shouldn ' t they? If the freshmen didn ' t have us they ' d have had to lug their books around everyday for the entire school year This is what could be heard all over the halls at Nova after school hours. The lockers would either be com- plaining or bragging about how clean they were kept. All lockers at Nova had a touch of class. When you look at a Nova lock- er, you could almost immediately de- scribe the person ' s attitude towards school life. 50 Nova Lockers

Students Say No To Some people think the best drug education programs are the ones that don ' t talk about drugs, but the Just Say No Club thinks differently. They believe in helping other people help themselves by education. No- va ' s Just Say No club has already participated in many events to sup- port that belief. They have sent speakers to intermediate schools to try and prevent kids from starting to use drugs and help the ones who have already begun using them. Their speakers have also gone to city council to make people more aware of the drug problem. Even though this is the first year Just Say No has been here at Nova, they have already begun to make waves. Just Say No also took part in Reach America, a project designed to edu- cate teenagers about the harmful ef- fects of drugs, so that they could teach younger kids the same. Mi- chelle Todd, one of the participants of the two day program said, It gave me more self-confidence, like stand- ing in front of a crowd and making me feel like I could help other people with their drug-type problems. All the people who passed the test given at the end of the program became peer counselors. The Reach America program was truly about helping others. Just Say No has accomplished a lot. Mr. Jay Cushnie and Mrs. Normetta Muir, the club ' s advisors, along with club organizers Jennifer Beck, Jenni- fer Fleming, Phyllis James, and Kayla Walker were all responsible for getting meetings together, send- ing speakers out, and running the concession stands at Nova ' s football games. Mr. Cushnie closed by saying, I admire the Nova students who use the opportunity of Just Say No to help them with their understandings of drug use and supporting their abil- ity to stay away from drugs.
