During December. Honor Society held their annu- al dinner at the Lion House. New members were announced which gave everyone a chance to get to know each other at their formal dinner of the year. To A.P. Or Not To A.P.. . . There has always been a certain image cast by the “brainy student . Such visions range in form from the skinny guy with thick glasses and slide ruler to the trendy Izod wearer with a calculator that tells time, fits in a wallet and plays space invad- ers. The grade-conscientious Honor Stu- dent was required to maintain a 3.75 aver- age and in doing so many developed strange habits that separated them from the rest of the student body. RECOGNIZING THE HONOR STUDENT 1. ... always carrying five or more books; has strong, well-developed arm muscles from carrying them and may have an elongated right arm. 2. . . . face displays stark contrast from dark circles under eyes (because of late night studying) and a pale com- plexion (caused by lack of sunlight). 3. ... usually belongs to at least four clubs and is secretary or president of at least one of them: (very costly for parents as the student has to buy ev- ery sweater, poster, bumper sticker, candy bar or stuffed animal the clubs offer). 4. ... takes notes constantly while the teachers talk, often finds I’m going to take roll now, and class is dis- missed” intertwined in his notes. 5. . . . often asks questions about ques- tions. 6. ... arrives to class first and leaves last. 7. ... schedules often consist mainly of AP classes (some would take AP Con- temporary Fiction if it were offered). 8. ... spends hours studying (even after dates or some just take books along with them). 9. . . . always bugging teachers for refer- ences for scholarships. 10. ... text books usually have food and soda stains splattered throughout them from combining studying while eating. 11. ... thinks J.R. is dead. 12. ... analyzes everything from car- toons and kiddie books to intense films at the Elks. 13. ... may be a closet Rocky Horror Pic- ture Show follower. 14. . back pockets are usually stretched out from carrying calcula- tors, dictionaries and health food in them.

Headlines And Deadlines The more disorganized we are, the bet- ter the paper turns out, commented Mr. Anderson the Hawkeye advisor. In the be- ginning the staff was inexperienced, but as the year progressed they became more able-bodied and adept in their fields of jour- nalism. The printing of quality articles earned the respect of the students. Chang ing the Hawkeye’s masthead, type style, headlines, printer and adding new pages altered the paper significantly for the bet ter. Facing the problems of a typical family atmosphere, the staff had disagreements, experienced the tedious work of writing and rewriting articles and felt that shock of misplacing articles and having to start over. But they also shared that certain pride of accomplishment when the paper was finally published. Deadlines were al- ways hectic because if they were not met, the paper would not be printed. With the size of the paper it was easy for the staff to miss an article then discover at the printers that it wasn't there. It was frustrating to spend time and work so hard writing an article then see your page crumpled up on the floor, expressed Myrna Stephens. There were few censorship problems ex- cept in the case of reviewing R-rated films. Advertisements from local business paid the expenses of publishing the Hawkeye. Improving on established ideas and ex- perimenting with new ones kept the paper open to change and growing in stature and importance. Counting out the newspapers for distribution, Rod Gibbons ropes his friend Tim Seers into helping with one of the tedious but necessary jobs of journalism. 130 • Newspaper
