STUDENTS' ACCCDIVIPLISI-IIVIENTS ACCUIVIULATE Honors Stock Up ccomplishments played a big part for many students this past season. These accom- plishments ranged from the senior cheerleaders go- ing to the National Com- petitions in Florida to J im- my Beckham Winning the top salesman for the band's fund raiser. Going door to door, I am told, is one of the har- dest ways of earning money. It was a cold and tiring Way to sell anything, but the band needed the money. I was top salesman for the band and earned twenty-five dollars plus the satisfaction of being the best, said Jimmy. Not only were the cheer- leaders and band members involved in achieving, but individual students as well. Laura Whitworth was selected as a National Merit semifinalist. I was excited when I found out that I became a semifinalist. A lot of col- leges have offered scholar- ships if I became a finalist. That would really help a lot, said Laura. Football players Worked hard throughout the sea- son, but only a select few were chosen for All-Con- ference. These players were Gary Williams, Rus- sell Munns, Stacey Hor- ton, Raymond Baxter, and Jim Hansard. I think our team did Well. Our football season was full of joy, but was full of sadness as well.

I wish the team next year lots of luck in hopes of a better season. With all that is happening, every- one will need a Wish of luck, said Gary Williams.

Achieving something takes patience and a good attitude. In the long run, you'll look back and smile, said Celeste Bowers. Smiles of joy and smiles of pride were shown on the faces of many students who Worked hard and accom- plished their goals. These accomplishments were made through the efforts put forth by stu- dents in making the best of their resources. Hccomplishments -,1-
