What are your views on Aids “I think that the rumors should stop but I’m for preventing it. If we don’t stop the rumors and try to find a cure then it's going to kill at least two thirds of the population like the Black Death. — sophomore Jennifer Morgan “Although the statistics I’ve heard are not very comforting, I don’t find it life threatening to me. That may be ignorant, but I can’t help but feel it will never happen to me.” — senior Amy Embree “If you worry about Aids, take precautions be- cause it’s really scary. Nobody knows what causes it. The school needs to have a program to let people know more about it.” — junior Randee Gibson “I think that people should learn more about Aids before they start spreading rumors and ij '1 really think they should take precautions.” Vs — senior Tamika Jones Grad Gear Graduation is one of the most important things in many students' live right now.

2000 thc. ma)°r 0 Where will you lx in thc year 2000? With the turn of a new millennium, there will be many new changes. Accor- ding to many students, technology will be area of change. I can’t wait until the year 2000. It’s not only the turn of the century but it’s also thc turn of the millennium, senior Dara Quackcnbush said. “Everything will probably be high-tech.” Sophomore Kristie Olson sees changes in the year 2000 a different way. I think there will lx differences in people. Not only will their attitudes change, but so will their personalities. I also think that the government will be more organized — I hope.” By the year 2000, most students will be in their late twenties or early thirties. What will you be doing? I'm just going to chill out in the year 2000. I'll probably be playing professional basketball,” sophomore Tenecia Reed said.

I might be out in the real working world though.” Because of the advances in technology, Quackenbush thinks that people might ac- tually be living in space. “Possibly, there might be some space colonies.

Mini mag 119 eligion Religion — it's a big part of some students’ lives. According to some, it hits really become more prominent among teens. 1 think people are starting to go to church more. With drugs and all these diseases going around, people need someone to turn to who will always be there. That someone is God. sophomore Tamara Hollins said. Senior Chris Moline disagrees with Hollins. He said, Most people in school don't really care about religion. They go on as if it didn't exist.” Some students listen to Christian music such as Stryper (a Christian rock group) and think it makes a difference. Stry| er affects me because I am a Christian and 1 understand what they are saying, but I'm not sure if it affects those students who aren’t Christians, senior Dcna Whitecotton said. Junior Zach Riley thinks groups like Stryper can influence students in a good and bad way. Some people think they are doing good to listen to a Christian rock group. It can lx- bad though because some think they are dressed up like other hard rock groU| $. which contradicts what they are trying to do. Personally I don't like them,” Riley said. There is a law that says there can be no prayer in public schools. Hollins doesn't agree. I think people should lx able to pray wherever and whenever they want to. I think the silent time after announcements is good enough. Whitecotton agrees with Hollins. I pray during the moment of silence, but as a Christian; it would help me if we had a spoken prayer.” Riley said. I most definitely do not agree with that law. 1 can see how it would cause problems, but if it were up to me, we would have it!” — by Jenny Juratck BIBLE STUDY.

Bobby Glaubccg. and junior Brett Miller listen as scn»or Buddy Head talks about the Bible The students meet in HE-3 every olher Tuesday and Thursday What are some major necessities for surviving in college? According to Schleiff Int is one main necessity. Money. Of course you also need a T.V., stereo, (frigerator, etc. When it comes down to choosing a college, most seniors prefer in-state colleges. I like in-state colleges better. senior Gary Chism said, I could never picture lyself going far away from home. I get homesick really fast. Senior Amy Embree is also going to an in-state college next year. I’m going to Fayetteville, she said. Out of state would be nice, but we don't iialify for financial aid. Fayetteville has what I need. Although not as highly cognized as Yale and Princeton, it is a good school. — by Jenny Jur.uck OVIAIINIIA
