Esta usted escuchando? “Escuche, por favor!” This phrase, translated as “Listen, please!” is one of the first learned in Mrs. Becky Schreiber’s Spanish class- es. Listening skills are an important part of learning Spanish insists Mrs. Schreiber, although she admits that answering the repetitive questions from the tape are not the most fun. “If you can’t hear and understand Span- ish, it won’t do you any good to try to speak it, said Mrs. Schreiber. Both levels of her Spanish classes help with the front lawn flower beds and cook Mexican dishes. “That’s def- initely more fun! said Spanish I stu- dent Jama Leamon. “But I guess we’ve got to do it all.

Journalism proves to be no easy task Auugghhh!!! This was a common sound in the journalism room as staff members ex- perienced exasperation caused by everything from computer quirks to stubborn staplers. The Cat's Claw very nearly met its death during late winter months. The small staff of students taking the class at different times could not handle the load of both the paper and the Wildcat annual. In fact, the yearbook itself was not completed until a month after school was out. ABOVE: Editor Deanna Roy prepares to take her computer frustration out with a baseball bat. RIGHT: After having no luck with page layouts, Debbie Sandifer cov- ers her head with rough drafts. FAR RIGHT: Gimme it! Will Stallcup and Jama Leamon fight over an article written as a joint effort between them and Melesha Eldridge. 20 III organizations Page sponsored by OILFIELD SERVICE EQUIPMENT Box 489 Archer City, TX The staff will be doing some chang- ing for next year. Atlthough a few mem- bers know how to use the newspaper's computer system, the Cat's Claw's fu- ture is still uncertain. I don't think people realize all the work journalism takes, said adviser Patt Giddings. If students want to keep the newspaper, maybe they need to think about helping. Although new people may not make pictures easier to crop or articles easier to write, it would help silence some of the staff's frustrated articulations.
