(501) 675-3277 604 Enrolled In Grades 7-12 Crowded halls, passing periods, boring lectures, and rows of lock- ers are common scenes in every school. Then, of course, there is homework and studying. But all this doesn't set us apart from other schools. What does set us apart? In other towns junior high and senior high are separate. But because our town is small, students 7th through 12th grade attend one school. This is important because we all know each other. When we walk down the hall, it is unusual to see a strange face. It is normal to see one of our friends's slamming someone else's locker. When the 11:55 bell rings, it's not uncommon to see junior high students racing to the parking lot in search of a ride with senior high students. Amee Evans admitted, I have more friends that are in senior high than in my own grade. Some students have to walk. Others dart to the lunchroom. Slamming her books down in the nearest spot and crowding into the lunch line is Jill Strain's philos- ophy on how to be first in line. When we think about it, we can see we're pretty lucky. We don't have graffiti on the walls. We take pride in our school. So if you're looking for a good time, you know who to call ...

Photo by Trend Adair What will we think of Some things never change. Like ordering your class ring, or building the float during homecoming week. These customs have been around for years. But other things do change. What happened to the six period day? It was replaced by a seven period day because of Governor Clinton's new standards. In addition to the seven period day, teachers must now have a set number of students in their classes. Also the number of credits needed to graduate has been raised from 18 to 22 starting this year. New ideas and modifications have changed many of the habits we had. Some people remember the two different lunch hours. Now all the students go to lunch at the same time. Teresa Kitchens, a junior, comments, Personally, I think it is worse. I wish we had two separate lunches. But other students who have never had the two lunch hours enjoy sharing their lunch time with all grades. Who knows what next year, or even next month, will be like? We might be going to school all year before long. But after one group has made its changes, and all is said and done, there will always be another. And who knows what they will think of next?

After all, this is the best time of your life. When I was a kid ... Wasn't our parents' time difficult? Don't we have it so much better? This is supposed to be the best time of our lives. Right?! Being teenagers, life's automatically easier, isn't it? At least thirty-six hours a week to go to school, plus fifteen hours for homework. (Almost all of us have heard from five different teachers, My homework will only take an hour. ) That's fifty-three hours so far. That's not even considering the part-time jobs some of us have. Our parents complain about having forty hour weeks. But, because we are young, we somehow find time for the dates and fun things we do with our friends. The keys to the family car and a few dollars are sometimes all we need to take the few left-over hours we have and squeeze in some good times. Our parents also talk about all the opportunity we have. The opportunity to see our friends die from drugs and alcohol. A chance to see our friends lose their futures because of unwanted pregnancies. A chance to fail in life because our own parents won't pass a millage increase. The chance to mess up, and get back on our feet, because time's on our side. If these are the best times, we'd hate to see the worst. But, hey, things aren't all bad. We don't have to pay taxes. We don't have to feed, clothe, and shelter ourselves. Mortgages, loans, and bills are some things we won't have to worry about for a few years. It's been said that adolescence is a time of great responsibility and no privileges. We do have some privileges, the privilege of feeling secure enough to have a good time. Along with these privileges, there is a responsibility. The responsibility of making the future a better place for ourselves and our chil- dren. That's our real opportunity. Someday, we'll be an integral part of that future. We'll have the privileges of adults. We'll probably say to our kids, Enjoy it while it lasts ... and they'll have their own set of problems and pressures. Time will be on their side, too.

Sounds like the opening scene of a murder my- stery? Look closer. All eyes are focused on the big white wall clock. Feet are poised in preparation to dash out the door. NOW what does it sound like? Right! The end of 7th period on a Friday afternoon. As soon as the bell rings, everyone dashes out the door, shouting, IT'S THE WEEKEND! Okay, it's the weekend. What happens now? Many students have favorite week- end pastimes. The thing I look forward to most about the weekends is getting to sleep as late as I want to, said Beth Love. But even something as wonderful as weekends has its faults. Jacky Young can relate to this. 1 just hate it when there is no one up town! he said. Leigh Blake agreed, If I could change one thing about weekends, it would be getting more activities for teenagers to do in Booneville! Dustin Blankenship summed up how most students feel when he said, 1 think I'd like to add about three more days to the weekend. I mean, the thing I dread most about them is having to get up Monday morning and go to school!

How could it be a hassle? Well, let's see it from the class sponsors' viewpoint. Float materials have to be ordered three weeks in advance and that automatically assumes the sponsor already has a float idea. Senior class sponsor, Mr. Smith, flatly stated, 1 absolutely hate it. And he's been hating it for fifteen years. Mr. Hocott would only comment, I don't even want to discuss it. Mrs. Phelps seemed to have accepted her duty as she said, Well, it's okay; it just gets tiring after twenty-one years. The faculty aren't the only people who think homecoming can be a hassle. Stu- dent Council member, Deedra Hardin, said, It's hard coming up with new ideas for spirit week. What about the students? Do they feel the same way? Sherry Wann said, Personally, I look forward to it. Even if I don't dress up, I get a kick out of watching people make fools of themselves. These fools — or spirit crazed stu- dents — entertained and amused the stu- dent body and faculty. Tuesday had a different twist in spirit week. A few teachers decided since stu- dents were to dress up as teachers, they would dress up as students. Students weren't the only people who could be crazy! Wednesday, Wild Hair Day, seemed to change everyone's personality for day. Sandra Angel said, I spent three hours and a can of hairspray so my hair would stick out. How's that for spirit? Thursday, Hippie Day, featured stu- dents decked out in bell-bottoms, head- bands, and peace signs. Lawrence Capes said, I think home- coming is great! It gives me a chance to express my school spirit in the pep rally and in the big game Friday. Looking at homecoming week from both the teacher and the student views, it seemed that even though it was a hassle for some, it gave the students a chance to be crazy for one week and get away with it! by Tresa Adair Terry Capes helps Ernie Thornell get loose before the Bearcats take on Vilonia in the Homecom- ing game.

Tying any game is bad, but on homecoming — what a drag! It's just like kissing your sister, several fans remarked as they trudged out of Bearcat stadium. Vilonia shocked both team and fans by scoring first. Late in the second quarter they scored again lengthening their lead to 14 points. With 26 seconds left in the half the Cats fi- nally put together a scor- ing drive to go into the half 14 to 8. The Cats came back looking strong holding Vi- lonia to seven yards. How- ever, the offense didn't get rolling until 5:28 left in the fourth quarter when Barry Catlett scored on a four yard run. The extra point conversion was stopped short; then a last second field goal attempt failed. The game ended with the first homecoming tie in 25 years. The night was not with- out other hitches. Prior to the game, the queen and her court exhibited other worries. Queen Martha VanAllen didn't know un- til minutes before the cere- mony that she had to find her own cape. A few frantic phone calls produced one just in the knick of time. Martha said, I couldn't believe no one told me. 1 thought someone just showed up with it. Martha wasn't the only one in a frenzy. The maids worried about being es- corted across the field by anxious football players who might leave cleat marks on the hems of their dresses. Lori Day said, I was so afraid one of the guys was going to step on my dress; then I would fall flat on my face. Homecoming was a sen- timental time for some this year. This was Principal Pete Prewett's twentieth and final year to crown the queen in the homecoming coronation. This event was marked by his grand- daughter, Robin Prewett, serving as an attendant. Another memorable event was attendant Mi- chael Mueller's refusal to carry the queen's bouquet. When the bouquet was held out for him, he stuck his hands behind his back and rejected the flowers. This really made no differ- ence; the coronation pro- ceeded. By Lisa Lippard Senior high cheerleaders.

Photo by Trend Adair KISSING YOUR SISTER V I 13 Remember when we used to drag out the old photo albums and spot our moms decked out in a min- iskirt? We all laughed, thinking they would never come back in style. Guess again. The long and the short of it is legs are in . A few hazards arise when mini skirts are worn. Tina Gar- rett commented, You can't bend over in them; and when sitting down, the slightest move is danger- ous. When girls aren't baring their legs with an 18-inch mini, they are covering them with a full-length skirt with an up-the-side, front, or back slit. Hazards also appear when long skirts are worn. One Sun- day, Heather Abbott wore a long jean skirt with a heaven-ward slit up the back. When she realized she was going to have to kneel for communion, she quickly went home. She re- called, Thanks to Kim Er- linger reminding me, I got out just in time. Skirts are not the only item that can go either way. Take hair, for in- stance. Flat-tops and burrs are two fads which have made a come-back. The flat-tops are gelled up, pro- ducing the wet look. Reed Dunn said, I saw flat-tops on some of the older kids and I thought it looked cool, so I decided to get one myself. Another example of the long and short can be seen in jean fashions. Some peo- ple roll jeans up to reveal colored socks, while others tuck jeans into bright yel- low or turquoise high-tops. In the past, jeans were just made in one color. Now jeans come in every shade from passionate pink to daring black. And who would have guessed five years ago, we would pay good money ($50 +) for destroyed jeans (holey ones)? In the end, though, mag- azines don't always dictate the fashion. As Ben Fuller put it, I dress to satisfy myself because I don't care what other people think about the way I dress. So no matter what the designer look happens to be, fashion is determined by the individual's creativ- ity and imagination. By Lisa Lippard.

Parking permits at B.H.S.? Last spring, Mike Rob- bins introduced the idea of parking permits while run- ning for Student Council office. After he was elected, he brought his idea up again. The Student Council will bring the permit idea to the School Board to vote on. In order to park in the west parking lot, students must place parking stick- ers on the car's back win- dow. According to Mr. Bill Prewett, Student Council Advisor, a driver's license, vehicle registration, and vehicle license number must be produced by the student in order to obtain stickers. Alternate license numbers must be given if you plan to drive another vehicle to school. Stickers will be checked by study hall students daily, once in the morning and once after lunch. A student will be given two demerits if the car is not registered. Parking fines will be discussed by the School Board. Mr. Bill Prewett remarked, I think it is something needed be- cause we don't want to en- courage lawbreakers. We're just trying to do our part to help better B.H.S. Parking permits have caused a controversy among the student body. Kelly Oliver said, I am for permits because I think the people driving illegally should be stopped. Maybe this would help keep acci- dents from happening. Other students disagree. Chrissy Partain replied, The ones that do drive il- legally have a right to if their parents allow it. Some students complain of the extra forty-five seconds it takes to get to the South parking lot. Beth Love says, I be- lieve it's a good idea be- cause students under six- teen wouldn't be able to drive. That's only fair. By Ann Coggins and Sherry Moore.

Old McDonald had a farm E-l-E-I-O and on this farm they prepared for the fair E-I-E-I-O A little brushing here, A little training there Here a cow, There a pig Everywhere a frantic pace Preparations were some- times tedious but usually it was worth it. Joe Richardson said, My dad and I had to train the cows to lead, and we also had to feed them extra well ' Jamie Phillips said, Even though I had to wash, groom, feed, water, and clean up after the cow, I liked winning a ribbon. However, sometimes the animal just doesn't want to cooperate. Just ask Daniel Simpson. After all the preparations had been made, my cow ran away when it was time for her to be judged. After hours of chasing her, 1 was really frustrated. Does the saying, All work and no play apply to the fair? No way. Weldon Gartman said, One night Andy and John Stone, Joe Foster, and I got into a wa- ter balloon fight which lasted until about 1:30 a.m. We really had fun, even though we did get kind of wet. Several students were ac- tive in the competitions at the fair. Joe Richardson's cattle won a trophy and three ribbons. John Stone entered a Brangus steer and won second place in show- manship. Jamie Phillips won three first place rib- bons for chickens he en- tered. The fair is not just for animals. While Daniel Simpson did have animals entered, he also entered hot sauce, canned goods, and honey. Dee O’Bar had a pastel drawing entered. Whether animals or crafts are entered, the fair gives students a chance to create and display their pride and joy.

Photo by Trena Adair AH right, short periods today ” When everyone hears that there is an assembly during homeroom, com- ments like, All right, short period! and, Good, extra time to finish my chemistry! are heard be- cause it usually means a couple of their classes will be cut short. Of course some assemblies are educa- tional, but others are just plain fun! The assembly on Educa- tion for Parenting led by Dr. Irene Lee provided im- portant information for the students; one of the topics concentrated on was teen pregnancies. She stated 10 out of every 100 teenage girls become pregnant ev- ery year; and 96% of these girls keep their babies. She encouraged the students to think about the conse- quences before they get into a critical situation. Dr. Lee touched the sur- face on drugs and alcohol, but a previous speaker, Paul Jackson, spoke more in depth on the subject. He informed students about the dangers that drugs posed for them. He also ex- plained how using drugs takes away your ability to make your own choices in life. These assemblies are definitely significant to our school; however, every- one enjoys a good jam ses- sion once in a while. When the Air Force band from Barksdale, Louisiana, Air Force Base came to our school, many people — in- cluding Mr. Prewett — were expecting an 80 piece band playing The Stars and Stripes Forever. But students and teachers were pleasantly surprised when the five member band started rocking to our fa- vorite tunes. Students danced in the stands and many of them saw a sight not many people have seen or will ever see again! Buckley Foster mischie- vously persuaded Mrs. Phelps to come out on the floor and show everyone how to boogie. Assemblies like these are typical of our school. We enjoy them and learn from them. And when you hear about the next assembly, you bet it'll be good! By Kim Mulson GOOD TIMES LAYOUT DESIGN BY.

Photo by Shirley Cill ASSEMBLY, ALL RIGHT, SHORT PERIODS TODAY!' A welcome break from class provides Hands On but not each other It's all in the way it's handled. In labs — the best part of class — rarely is there a student who doesn't wel- come a break from the usu- al monotonous class hour. Lab isn't just limited to chemistry; Home Ec., Crafts, Agri and Journal- ism all have labs. Home Economics lab lasts almost all year round. Smells of bacon and eggs linger in the halls after stu- dents experiment with their cooking talents. And there's sewing — where students get to sport their designer clothing. What about those skin- ny wooden sticks and spools of colored twine we see dragging along behind some students? Crafts, simple. Brenda Tomlin said, Macrame is pretty easy, just tie a bunch of knots. It does take a lot of time to get it right. Crafts isn't the only class that requires extra time. In Agri, it's welding; Katy Fitzgerald comment- ed, I enjoy it, but I hate wearing those ugly, grey shields! Journalism also tackles a type of lab. The Bearcat Eyes published by the Journalism department is put together from scratch. Headlines and articles have to be attached to a piece of paper exactly right. They also learn how to take pic- tures, create layouts, and of course, write informative articles. Sounds like work. So why do students enjoy it? Probably because it's all in the way it's handled.

We've all suffered through the dreaded sum- mer trip to see distant rela- tives whom we never see until the next reunion. But fortunately, these trips aren't our only chance to have some fun on location. Many students travel far — like Kirk Hatcher, who went to Canada to see Niagara Falls with the New Life Singers, and Rhonda Massey, who went to Puer- to Rico. Others stay closer to home. Maria Heathman traveled to Bartlesville, Oklahoma, for a 10K race in which she finished third in her division. Other students take trips that are not only educa- tional but also adventur- ous. Lisa Lippard, who saw the Tower of London and the Eiffel Tower, said, 1 went places many other people aren't able to visit and experienced the people and sights there. But we don't have to travel far away to have an educational experience. The Shakespearean Festi- val helped me to better un- derstand the meaning of Shakespeare's plays, Beth Love stated after taking the trip to Charleston with the senior class. Whether a trip is to learn new cultures or to soak up some sun, we don't have to go away to find adventure, it's waiting outside our doors.

Holidays a period of time when students kick back and relax. 0. [ Thanksgiving break, Christmas break, and Eas- ter break; how many of us separate the year into the holiday breaks we have? When we're bored to tears and the drudgery of school has us in its clutches, we have the satis- faction of knowing that in a few weeks there will be a holiday when we can relax. There are many things we do look forward to dur- ing the holidays: family re- unions, parties, and other festive occasions. Gerie VanAllen said, Thanksgiving is my fa- vorite holiday because it is the first real holiday of the school year and we get to see relatives. Others disagree. Leon Fuell said, My least favor- ite holiday is Thanksgiv- ing. I think a lot of the feel- ing has gone out of giving thanks. Many judge holidays by things we receive. Nancy Evans said, Christmas is my favorite holiday because I get lots of presents. Still there are holidays that are mainly celebrated for fun. The FCA threw a Halloween bash which in- cluded senior high athletes who dressed up in their fa- vorite costumes. They played games pat- terned after games on T.V. such as Win, Lose, or Draw. They also played hide and seek and watched a scary movie. Other clubs also throw parties for the holidays. Spanish club celebrates Christmas by having a Mexican meal at lunch in the Home Ec room.

So Webster says. In other words, it's something peo- ple do for fun. Of course, there are the normal hobbies: football, horse- back riding, dancing, etc. But a closer look at some students reveal some not- so-normal hobbies. Picture this: A slumber party. One o'clock in the morning. Ten girls hunched over their big toes. Sound strange? Well, it's toe-weaving. People toe-weave a bracelet using thread and give it to a friend. T. J. Campbell said, I was shown how to toe weave this summer. It's really fun, and I like mak- ing colorful bracelets for my friends. Some kids have the hob- by of collecting things. Again, there are the nor- mal collections: stamps, coins, and so on. But there are still the not-so-nor- mal ones, too. For instance, Kim Chambers has been collect- ing perfume bottles for about two years. She said, I like to look for them in gift shops when we go on trips. My friends and fam- ily give me them as pre- sents because that's the one thing I usually ask for. Charles White has a large comic book collection — 200 worth about $60. Why does he collect them? 1 think that reading a comic book helps open us a futuristic world you would never see in just a short book of nothing but words. Maybe one day, if I have kids of my own, I'll have something to pass down so they can enjoy what I read when I was their age. Barbara Brachwitz, our exchange student from Sweden, collects feminist books; Bobbi Mullen col- lects socks, and Rob George collects old football articles. Ty Hampton's hobby is playing golf, Katy Fitzgerald's is interpreting dreams. How's that for in- teresting? Whether it's normal or not-so-normal, a hob- by is a way to express one's interests, not to mention a way to just have FUN!

These sounds create a nice feeling, but the players also hear the drone of the lecture, the scratch of the pencil, and the whispers of classmates as they perform their duties as students. An athlete's day is filled with the sounds he chooses to hear. Sometimes it's the coaches; other times, the teacher: the coach for playing standards, the teacher for grade standards they must meet. And, simply put, if they don't make the grade, they don't play the game. That's one standard we all have to meet, but the athletes are also expected to perform on command for fans, team members, and coaches. Not that they don't get something in return. The applause. It's a little addictive. The risks taken to get that applause can be pretty high. If a team loses, they lose twice, because they then lose some fan support. Of course, the health risks are always there. Some player is down at least once during every season. The hush that falls over the stadium is almost an audible gasp of concern for the team member who is hurt. The pressure of the student athlete isn't necessarily any greater than that on the student bandee or the student clubber, but the stakes and rewards are sometimes set a little higher.

You watch with disgust as Jane Fonda and her 22-inch waist hop around on the TV screen with no effort at all. You, on the other hand, collapse in agony on the living room floor after only six situps. For many students, aero- bics is a healthy, yet often painful way to start or end their day. Some students do aerobics to keep in shape only; not to get any personal enjoyment out of it. Mieke Kauffman said. When I do aerobics, 1 just have to grit my teeth and keep telling myself it's good for me! But there are actually the rare few who take pleasure in this form of keeping in shape. Kim Erlinger said, I really enjoy aerobics be- cause to me, it's a good way to relax. Plus, it makes me feel good knowing I can do something good for my- self. Aerobics is good not only for keeping healthy and limber, it's a good way to shed those unwanted pounds. And it's not for students only. Many teach- ers participate in this form of exercise, too. Mrs. Hampton laughs, 1 used to try to exercise my fat away, but somehow it kept coming back and I couldn't get rid of it. Anyway, now I just try to 'firm' it up! What about other forms of exercise?

Photo by Trena Adair Kittens capture district crown TRACK In a blaze of glory. Almost like the Grecian Olympians the Junior Boys Track team flew past every meet with flying col- ors. The District meet held in Danville proved to be no obstacle. The Junior Boys chalked up a total of 210 points, not to mention breaking five records. Cody Smith received the high point award with 45 points. Smith broke records in the 220 and the 100 sprints. Smith also received third in the long jump. The Junior Kittens also broke record times in the 440, 880, and mile relays. They pulled to- gether as a team, and all the individual members worked hard to help add points. Joel McDonald placed first in the pole vault with a jump of 11'. All first four places were taken in the high jump: Dustin Blankenship, first; Cliff McAnally, second; Charles Lindley, third; and Jonathan Da- vis, fourth. First through third was also stolen in the long jump by Dean Swint, first (18'6 ); Jona- than Davis, second; and Cody Smith, third. First, second, and third places in distance just insured the Junior Boys win. Jonathan Da- vis placed first in the 880 run with Mark Bradford right behind him placing third. Paul Crenshaw tackled the grueling mile run and placed second. The Junior Boys defi- nitely captured the dis- trict crown in a blaze of glory. By Tresa Adair Dustin Blankenship's second leg in the 880 relay adds distance ahead of his opponents that helped his team to win with a record breaking time. Photo by Trena Adair Front Row: O.

We had highs and lows just like last year, but we weren't State Champions, or Conference Champions. I guess it was just a hard act to follow, said Rob George. Team members instantly re- called two disappointments, tying Vi- lonia at Homecoming and losing to Ozark twice. The highlight was the Paris game — a win there would send us to the play- offs; a loss would send us deer hunting as Coach Scheel put it. After beating Paris, the Cats faced Conference cham- pions Ozark, again. Coach Scheel had worked all week to keep the revenge factor down, but both teams were out for blood, said Frank Johnson. Although there were several scoring threats (plays coming off Scott Webb's crack blocks on Jerome Johnson and a drive of hard-hitting Tony Travis runs totalling 50 yards), the first three quar- ters were defense. Late in the fourth quarter, Boone- ville's defense broke down, and the Ozark quarterback faked a pitch to the right, bootlegged around the left end, and floated 80 yards down the side line for a touchdown. The point after at- tempt failed on a fumbled snap. The kicker tried to pick up the ball, but he was drilled in the back by Edward Brothers. As the clock ticked off the final sec- onds, tears flowed as team members and fans realized the end of the dream to return to War Memorial. On the sol- emn ride home, each tear-streaked face reflected the nightmare of Ozark's quarterback racing into the end zone. Jimmy Tanner commented, Now we know how Junction City must have felt.

Team spirit keeps the team going, takes some sting out of defeat, and makes a victory even more special. Team spirit radiates energy giving us more determina- tion to play our best, said Brenda Tomlin. Many athletes feel an obligation not only to each other, but also to the fans. We try to keep our fans cheered up by doing our best, explained Vance Gadbury. We just want them to see how hard we work, not if we win or lose. Mr. George told how he felt BHS athletes looked at team spirit. The pep rallies and large crowds tell me our students realize it's important to be one in our efforts. Team spirit ties not only the team together, but also unites the school and community. Todd Tucker said, If we didn't have a lot of team spirit, we wouldn't have the athletic tradition we do. It just makes us prouder to be Bearcats.

Stanley Rogers helped take control early by firing straight up the middle 55 yards for the Kittens' score on the first play, but a yel- low flag brought it back to the 50. Undaunted, Rogers mer- ely replayed his effort with a 35-yard run. Davis poked the ball in from 15 yards out and Billy Wright boot- legged around the left end for a two-point conversion. Rogers and Davis teamed up again on the second touchdown. After two of Rogers hard-nosed runs, and a 20-yard dance by Davis, the Kittens were up 14 points, but the men in stripes said no again as time ran out in the first quarter. Wrights' touchdown in the second quarter made it 14. Eric McConnells's sack allowed Davis to score again from 40 yards out, and Tracey Blankenship's two points made the score 20-0. In the second half, a Marty Cessna run set up another Blankenship score on a pass. The next posses- sion ended quickly after impressive runs by Johnny Schlinker. After getting the ball back, a 15 yard Jason Rowe run set up an- other Blankenship score. After Rowe's two points were added, the score stood at 34-0. Waldron's last ditch ef- fort produced a sixty yard touchdown. The two point conversion left the final score 34-8.

Seven years of bad luck. Many people say superstitions are just nonsense, but some students believe they could really help or hurt a situation. Some people are super- stitious about what clothes they wear. Maybe it's just because it's what they've always worn or because they did something special in this clothing. Ricky May wore the same t-shirt every game this year that he wore in the state game last year. In track, Jill Chalfant always wears Ti- ger running shoes. She said, They are more com- fortable than other shoes and also make me feel like I will do better. Some things people do before a game also become superstitions. They always do these things, or it just doesn't seem right. Ricky May commented, No matter what, I always pray before I play a game. The girls basketball team also has their ritual of chants, cheers, and pep talks be- fore a game. Another superstition is the little lucky charm some people have. Brenda Tom- lin's lucky charm is a little different from others. She has a little gray stuffed mouse that she takes to ev- ery ball game.

The first Bulldog drive didn't last as Andy Stone intercepted a pass and re- turned it 30 yards for another touch- down; May added the two points. With 1:30 left in the half, the Kittens scored again making it 24-0 at the half.

The coaches have weight lifting pro- grams to help athletes achieve a higher quality of fitness so that an athlete will be able to heal quicker. Injuries bring about unfortunate cir- cumstances. Scott Webb, one of the Cats' best receivers was carried off the field on a stretcher during a conference game against Ozark and taken by ambulance to the city hospital. Three of his verte- brae were knocked out of place. His big- gest concern at that moment was, atten- dants recalled, his jersey being cut off. Coach Scheel will really get me. I thought it was over, for good, remem- bered Scott. After having surgery on his knee, Ty Hampton commented, It's really easy to get out of shape, not to mention how weak my knee was.

Bearcats win with freethrows Nil v■ c uz j . It definitely was a freethrow game, explained new assistant coach Dale Mann. With a freethrow percentage of 71 percent, the Bearcats came out on top against the Mansfield Tigers, 50-43. From the first, the Bearcats and Tigers battled for the lead. Scott Goodwin scored the first bucket from a fast-break pass from Jeff Smith. Mansfield, not tak- en back, responded with two. Through- out the first quarter, both teams seemed to be trading baskets. But with 2:30 left and the Cats down by one, Ernest Goff swished a three-pointer only to be fol- lowed by another three-pointer from Smith putting Booneville up by five. Steals from Tony Travis and Smith joined with Goodwin's and Russell Wil- son's rebounding contributed to their 13-10 lead at the end of the quarter. The deciding quarter started with a 37- 32 lead for the Bearcats. Drives to the hole from both Travis and Wilson wi- dened the margin for the Cats. Needing to run some time off the clock, the Cats spread-out their offense. Smith drib- bling from half-court scraped off a screen set by Goff, then drove past three Mansfield players to score a lay-up. But the Tigers weren't out of it yet; a two- point play combined with a three-point- er brought the score back to 50-43. The Cats stayed in their spread of fense which caused Mansfield to foul. By making their freethrows and making key steals on defense, the Bearcats came away with an exciting 50-43 victory. Smith hit key shots from the baseline, ending as high scorer with eighteen. Tony Travis had ten while both Scott Goodwin and Ernest Goff added nine apiece. Following was Russell Wilson with four.

But last spring a few interested students formed the first Booneville High School Golf team. This first team was made up of Jeff Smith, Ty Hampton, Vince Guise, Buckley Foster, and last year's seniors Brad Mor- gan and Rusty McDonald. Under the direction of Coach Steve Brown, they played in regular matches held in Waldron, Ozark and Clarksville, plus the district match held in Dar- danelle. Although this recently developed team didn't win any matches, the players did well and really enjoyed competing against other teams in a new sport. Ty Hampton stated, Playing on the golf team gave me a chance to improve my game and meet players Driving to the basket, Dustin Blankenship (24) concentrates on making his lay-up against the Ea- gles. Photo by Trena Adair from other schools. After the team finished its season, Jeff Smith, the top player, pursued his in- terest in golf further. Jeff competed in the ASGA- PG A Junior Golf Tour con- sisting of six one-day tour- naments. Two of these were held at the Hard- scrabble and the Fianna Hills Country Clubs in Fort Smith. Points were awarded to the top ten fin- ishers in each age group. Jeff finished first in the Northwest Region. The three best scorers were chosen to go to the state tournament in Little Rock. He went on to play at state. The top four finish- ers at state were asked to play in the regional tour- naments in Oklahoma City. Jeff finished fifth at state out of fifteen players. He missed the regional tournament by one stroke shooting a six over par, 78. 1 was disappointed that I didn't get to go to regionals but I was proud that I did so well in the state tourna- ment. By Kim Mulson Games like that put, at least, ten new gray hairs on my head! laughed an ex- cited but relieved Coach Steve Brown concerning the Lady Cats nail-biting victory over the Ozark Lady Hillbillies, 40-36. After coming from behind ten points at the half; the Lady Cats rallied in the third and fourth quarters to send the game into overtime. The turning point came in the third quarter with Tresa Adair hitting three straight baskets. Then Brenda Tomlin drove in for two, was fouled and made both shots. Combined with Martha Van- Allen's and Tomlin's freethrows, the third period ended with Booneville trail- ing 23-24. Michelle Whitaker's two freethrows brought the Cats the lead in the begin- ning of the fourth. After that, an ex- change of baskets by both teams tied the score 30-30 with 49 ticks left. Defense by Tomlin and Trena Adair contributed to converted baskets making the score 34- 31 with sixteen seconds to go. But, Melton from Ozark shot a three- pointer hitting nothing but net, sending the game into overtime. The Lady Cats spread out their offense after grabbing possession of the jump. The Adairs and Tomlin worked the ball up top, wearing the defense down. Spot- ting a weakness, Trena drove from half court to score a lay-up. Tomlin then picked off a pass; the Lady Hillbillies fouled to stop the clock. Trena and Tresa Adair combined with Brenda Tomlin's freethrows put the game out of reach, 40- 36.

Even though practices may seem to be a real bother, you realize in the long-run that it is really worth it. After years of monoto- nous practice, the Lady Bear cats proved it pays off. The Lady Cats captured their third District Cham- pionship in a four year span. With a bye to the fin- als, the Lady Cats faced the Mansfield Tigers, Friday, February 26. After an over- whelming 63-44 win, the Lady Cats then traveled to Westfork to take on Gra- vette March 3 in the Northwest Regional Tour- nament. Trailing by three to four points the whole game, even coming within one point right before the half, they could never come out ahead and lost 34-28. The five starters achieved recognition by being named to the All- District team. Trena and Tresa Adair, Brenda Tom- lin, and Michelle Whitaker were named All-District; Martha VanAllen received Honorable Mention. Brenda Tomlin was also selected to play for a Junior Olympic team this sum- mer. She, Michelle Whi- taker, and Trena Adair were recognized as players of the week in the Arkan- sas Democrat.

Or how about just passing a class you hate so you can be through with it? Yes, the body of school is the total experience of classes mixed with clubs and socialization, but academics is the heart and souL Time presses in on studying, with jobs and dates vy- ing with grades for attention. A student often must make the hard choice between what he wants to do and his homework. Stories abound of this or that person sleep- ing through a class because of an all-night study session (or party, or job, of concert). Everything depends on his plans — whether he just wants to pass, or whether he wants to go on to college. Courses to fit everyone are available, depending on those future plans, from college- preparatory to vocational education. The vocational classes allow the less college-oriented to prepare for a job, and challenge them as much as an advanced math or physics class would a college-prep student. However, gone are the days when four years of basket weaving would be sufficient to graduate. New standards require a student to have twenty credits, with five credits in science and math, four credits in English, and three credits in social sciences, with one-half credit each in health, P.E., and fine arts. The fine art credit can be a bonus for some students, allowing them to relax while playing a piece of music or making a belt. Gone are the days when one could just drift through four years of high school. The pressure for excellence has been renewed, and it's no longer good enough to be just Good Enough.

Photo by Andrea Salzer ACADEMICS DIVIDER I couldn't believe we had to come to school on Saturday; I guess it was better than coming on Spring Break, admitted Lisa Lippard. 1 slept in, played in the snow, ate, and unfortunately gained weight, Jill Elmore explained in reference to the five-day snow break. After re- suming classes for only two days following Christmas vacation, snow began falling January 6, and contin- ued through the next day. Booneville and the surrounding area was soon enveloped with a foot of snow. The snow conditions caused area schools to close. Students dusted off their sleds and layered their clothes to shield from the cold. Because of the large amount of snow, sledding was a popular past-time along with building snowmen. 1 played in the snow and threw snowballs, an- swered Eric Nelson. There were oth- ers that took advantage of the extra break time to sleep late and catch up on their favorite soaps. Students that were able to drive had a good time spinning doughnuts at the park and suddenly slamming on their brakes to experience being out of control. However, after a couple of days, the excitement started to wear off. Not being able to get out of the neighborhood made staying at home a real bore, remarked Grant Hester. The graders began clearing off snow-and-ice covered highways to enable traffic to flow once again. Back roads were not cleared; there- fore, buses were unable to run their routes. Having this break did pose a prob- lem, the school calendar had allowed two days for snow, meaning that we would have to make up the other three. Would we lose spring break or have to go on Saturday? When school re-opened on Janu- ary 13, this question was resolved. The bulletin read, This Saturday will be the first of our make-up days. The announcement was fol- lowed by many moans and groans, which continued through the re- mainder of the week. I didn't like it too well, because Saturday is the only day I sleep in, plus I missed my cartoons, complained Ann Cog- gins. Students that usually have to work on Saturdays had to make arrange- ments. I left during fourth, so I could get my usual hours, claimed Karen McAnally. Other than stu- dents that worked, the attendance at school was unusually high. Many students confessed that going on Saturday would be better than giv- ing up spring break!

No, it's not Romeo and Juliet, term papers, or the Pythagorean Theorum. It's the Biology Bug Collection. Despite gruesome rumors sent down to underclassmen, there have been survivors. The students are required to catch the bugs, kill the bugs, classi- fy the bugs, stick pins in the bugs . .. Ugh! Let's see what they have to say about it! I guess the worst part was the actual collecting of the bugs, re- called Jennifer Calhoun. I hated going outside and poking around for bugs! Although only required to collect 35 bugs, some students went the extra mile and collected more for extra credit. Jerry Bradley, for in- stance, collected ninety-nine1. The worst part for me was hav- ing to classify all of the insects, because when you have ninety- nine bugs to classify you begin to dread finishing your project! he explained. A little bit of help never hurts, and, in fact, can really be useful. Todd Barnes can relate to this. My brother got and killed most of my bugs, he replied, and my mom got most of the names for them. So, I didn't have to do much of the work! Even though help from parents and friends is a really useful meth- od, there is an even more helpful one. Other people's bug collections! Joel McDonald took full advantage of this sly technique. 1 thought my brother's bug col- lection would be in worse shape than it really was, he mischie- vously admitted. Still, though, when it comes down to the facts, almost everyone admitted that doing their insect collection wasn't as bad as they had expected. So, never fear, under- classmen, there is almost a ninety- nine percent chance that you will survive. But keep in mind what Melanie Behler had to say I didn't like having jars of dying bugs around my house! By Shannon Dunn With the GT pro- gram I'm able to excel in areas that I'm inter- ested in. I've always en- joyed learning; GT helps me want to do more.” Courtney Mill- er teac What do you think of when you hear gifted and talented ? A bunch of brainy bookworms, right? Wrong! A student's acceptance into the Gifted and Talented program (GT) is not based on his grade point average. According to Mrs. Scheel, GT su- pervisor, a student must excel in three categories in order to be in GT: academic achievement, task commit- ment, and creativity. Students are se- lected by a board made up of admin- istrators, parents, and teachers not involved in teaching the program. The seven teachers involved are Mrs. Scheel, Mrs. Pace, Mr. Bailey, Mr. Bill Prewett, Mr. Hocott, Mr. Smith, jfhd Mrs. Phelps. Sasha Garman, GT member, com- mented, Although this program is great, sometimes we feel left out be- cause we're different in some ways. I3ut we aren't all brains; we're realh ju t_normal kids! The ultimate goal of education is to provide for individual needs, ex- plained Mrs. Scheel. In the past twenty years in Arkansas, much has been done for the special education needs of some students, but little has been done for the gifted. If we really believe in allowing each student op- portunity to fulfill his potential, we must offer different opportunities to those with different potential. One benefit of the GT program is field trips. The GT students and the Senior English classes went to Charleston for a Shakespeare pro- gram. It consisted of bits and pieces of Shakespeare's plays put together. Amanda Southerland, GT mem- ber, said, The writers used contem- porary music and modern clothing to make the plays easier to under- stand. It worked and also added a lot of humor to the presentation. Sherry McLaughlin, senior, agreed. It was a more modern view of Shakespeare's plays. The actors were good and directed the plays to- ward teenagers. Although the program is still new it BHS, students and teachers alike are working hard to make it a suc- cess. Mrs. Scheel said, The most important contribution the special program makes is toward encourag- ing independence and decision mak- ing of various types. Those facts lay the foundation for greater under- standing and utilization of gift and talent.

Dif- ferent methods are selected by stu- dents and parents. Some parents demand the student study in a qui- et atmosphere, and others leave the decision up to the student — some are happy if the student studies at all. Usually, I prefer studying by myself, although I do have the qui- et company of my stereo, said Caryn Adair. However, some parents won't al- low even the stereo. Alone, by the light, and quiet; the old fashioned way to study is still the best, ad- ded Tresa Adair. But this method doesn't suit ev- eryone. For example, people like Rob George and his friends have a method they call party studying. I've got the answers to the se- mester test, boys. I know it all, man. I've been studying at smart people's houses, and off of smart people's notes that I ran off on a copier, bragged Rob George as he barged into Stanley Sharp's smo- key living room, the sound of loud music nearly knocking him down and a bunch of senior boys giving him hard looks for interrupting their cramming session. What on earth hit this place? he asked as he viewed the paper that covered the floor between the spit cans. You jerks look so burnt out. What's this one? Rob asked. You ignorant Pollock! The an- swer to that one is this, Rick Spears snapped back, starting the verbal battles by asking another question. The five boys went at each oth- er's throats for hours. Ernie Thor- nell said this was good because, we pushed each other; someone al- ways had a question, and it was fun. This method had other good points. DeWayne Whitehead and Rob agreed that it helped everyone unwind between studying spurts. We really started going bananas about 1:30. Ol' Ernie was blowing Stanley's nephew's soap bubbles, we had played every tape back as far as Elvis Presley, and we had tried on Stanley's whole hat collec- tion; all just to get out of studying, laughed Rob. When comparing the quiet study method and the party study meth- od, James Mashburn stated, There are arguments for both sides, but ours is more fun and we show more interest; therefore, we learn more by party studying together, and it must be effective, because we're seniors. I just hope it works in col- lege. It was cheating, Michael insisted. We warned her if she did it again we would have to have a student-par- ent conference. i� ' Spanish II and football. Nothing in common, right? Not as far as Tony Travis, Todd Tucker, and Michael Wiggins are concerned. Michael explained, Miss Knight refused to attend our games pro- claiming to have a disinterest in the sport, which we diagnosed as a lack of understanding of the rules. Therefore, the three football play- ers took it upon themselves to see that she had some lessons in foot- ball. Every Friday after the pep rally, they went to their Spanish II class armed with their latest questions they had prepared for Miss Knight's weekly quiz. I was ecstatic about the oppor- tunity to broaden my field of knowledge, claimed Miss Knight. My three instructors were well- qualified people but they had little to work with ' she added with a laugh. We taught her about offensive and defensive formations, what each position's responsibilities were, and what the special teams were for ' explained Tony. When we gave her a test at the end of her lessons she made a 60 on the offen- sive part and a 65 on the defense; but she cheated on the last part, so it was counted a 0. I did NOT cheat, argued Miss Knight. I just asked Coach Scheel to help me. In fact, the test was so hard even he didn't know some of the answers to the questions! It was cheating, Michael in- sisted. We warned her if she did it again we would have to have a stu- dent-parent conference. Actually, Todd said, I think she was pretty excited about it. She wanted to prove she could learn it. Yeah, Tony agreed, She thought it was fun as long as it didn't interfere with Spanish! So you see, we've disproved teachers' favorite cliche: It's harder for me to make out tests than it is for you to take them. Michael, Tony, and Todd will all agree; after years of taking tests, it's nice to see a teacher struggle through one! Todd pointed out, She really didn't know one thing about foot- ball. We figured since she had three players in her class, she ought to learn about it. It also gave us a chance to show her what she put us through! By Shannon Dunn.

(Giggle). - Sherry McLaughlin Photo by Jill Chalfant Good Connections from getting out of a boring homeroom (and into a boring meeting) or getting an extra picture in the year- book, why do people join clubs? For some, the clubs are their way of being part of the cliques that pepper the school. There is a certain char- acter to each club, and the students pick the ones that match their character closest. Others find clubs like Future Teachers of America, Future Business Leaders of America, and Future Farmers of America are a way to a future vocation. The clubs provide the training and some of the experience that can make getting a job or running a business easier. How about trips? Only the Library clubs. Quill and Scroll, and Fellow- ship of Christian Athletes don't take trips. There are competitions for future farmers, homemakers, and business leaders and a convention for Betas. The future teachers and Spanish Club go to the elementary school to teach those students. Of course, pins and other paraphernalia are available in clubs — most have cards for members. Parties at Christmastime and the end of the year abound. The clubs also produce projects and hold competitions, ranging from the Quill and Scroll's revived Literary Magazine and the Beta Club's Mr. Miss BHS pageant to the Journalism staff's Bearcat Eyes and the Student Council's class of the year contest. These activities give members a chance to gain experiences for later life. With all this to offer, clubs make good connections.

Photo by Trena Adair What do dedication, a new look, and hair dryers have in common? The band members reply, Band contest success! Band members were not only dedi- cated to practice, but also to raising money for new band uniforms. They held a car wash, in which Wal-Mart matched the amount raised. Kelly Robinson said, It was hard work, but it paid off. Fundraisers, donations, and contributions raised the seven thousand dollars needed for new band uniforms. The new uniforms added a new look to the football field. Jennifer Cal- houn said, We were holding the old uniforms together with safety pins. During the halftime show of the Greenwood game, the band marched for the last time before a contest the next morning. Rain began falling; un- daunted, the band went on. By the end of the show, the new uniforms and the feathers on the hats were soaked thor- oughly. When the feathers didn't begin dry- ing on their own, some parents and members had to drag out hair dryers and blow every single feather dry. The volunteers returned the next morning at 5:30 to begin a journey to the Locust Grove, Oklahoma, march- ing contest. All efforts paid off when the band marched against Oklahoma bands and won first place in AAA competi- tion, one division higher than their classification in Arkansas. A week earlier, the band had won first place in AA and Best Horn Line at Lincoln, Arkansas.

Over twenty other FBLA members besides Kim were chosen by Ms. The- resa Fereck to participate at the Dis- trict and State Conference. These stu- dents were selected according to aca- demic ability and success in business and office techniques. After being appointed, each indi- vidual had to familarize himself with the area in which he would be compet- ing. Brenda Yandell replied, Lots of practice and piles of books to look through go into getting ready. Stu- dents who have been chosen in recent for conference | years know what to expect. The con- test was more than just a lot of prep- aration, though. Jennifer Gibson stat- ed, The conference is fun! fun! fun!

Choosing the right career How many times have you changed your mind about what you want to do when you graduate? And how many more times will you? One thing is certain; you will have to decide sooner or later if you plan on growing up. A few people don't wait until the last minute; they start to consider their interests earlier than one month before they enter college. They pick a job they would like to do and would be good at. Deedra Hardin is thinking about a career in sign language. It's just a subject that interests me; and it's a challenge to learn the signs. I'm starting to attend workshops to learn more, Deedra explained. Another thing people should do, as Mr. Atchley advises, is to research the job market. See if there will be a de- mand for the career choice and that the salary involved will provide a liv- ing. Leon Fuell admitted, I was ori- ginally planning on being a computer programmer, but the market got flooded with programmers; I decided to repair and build computers and ro- bots. I think there will be many job opportunities in this field.

Down on the court, tension mounted as the cheerleaders stood waiting to start the cheer. A half-second of silence; then Ready, O.K. Standing in center court leading cheers is not as easy as it looks. Sometimes it gets really frustrat- ing when the crowd drowns out our cheers and we have to stop. I guess the class competition really builds up, remarked Melissa Littlefield. Class competition, started last year by Student Council, involves which class has the most spirit during the pep rally. The class with the loudest chants and most creative signs wins points for that week. For the Ozark game, seniors dressed in togas and paraded around the gym floor. The eighth grade flaunted in their mettalic wigs, while sophomores showed their spirit signs. Yet, in the midst of it all, cheer- leaders somehow gain control to do their routines, beaming joyously. It gets rough at times trying to car- ry on with the cheers, but it's worth it because we're cheering for such a great team, stated Laura Daniel.

Wait, hold it! Before you turn the page due to utter confusion, take a look at some of the students that can actually make sense from all of that. Mrs. Goddard, Science Club sponsor, explained, The purpose of the Science Club is to expand students knowledge of career op- portunities in science. We try to make field trips to expose students to some of the many science-related positions with Arkansas employ- ers. On December 11, the Science Club took an all-day field trip to the Arkansas Power and Light Plant in Russellville. It was a learning experience, Sherry Moore recalls. It was a lot of fun. We got to tour the plant and enter the cooling tower. Some students appeared to go for reasons other than science-related ones. Our guide was a plant oper- ator, which is what I want to do. Funny coincidence, because plant operators make $120,000 dollars a year. I asked him if the babes were hanging all over him and his porsche. He nodded and said, 'A lot!' Confirmed my career choice! laughed Russ Biggs. I enjoy the Science Club be- cause I love science. To me, it's challenging to do experiments and record observations, said Ash- leigh Thrasher; again, Russ Biggs has an interesting' outlook as to his reason for being in the Science Club: It's the only place in school besides agri where you get to mess with things that can blow up!

Maybe Carne- gie Hall and a wall of singers? Or possibly a whole neighborhood of people Christmas caroling. Well, how about five Junior High students gath- ered around a piano played by a bearded man? Mr. Woolley's Junior chorus is just this type of situation. Because of his small number of students, he has tak- en up a new schedule. Instead of straight singing, he's teaching music instrumentation too. He teaches the recorder on Monday, the piano on Tuesday, and the guitar on Thursday. Wednesday and Friday are their only singing days. The students like the idea of a smaller class. We get more done with fewer people, said Julie Saccoia. Some of the greatest benefits of chorus are, according to Kelly Dobbs, the concerts. She said, It's a good ex- perience to get up and sing in front of an audience. It makes all the practice in class worthwhile. Although chorus is a small class, these kids may be the next Jon Bon Jovis or Eddie Van Halens.

Getting out of a boring study hall may be a reason some students join FTA. However, others think this opportunity to teach is more than just a break in the schedule. These students just en- joy the chance to work with children. Cory Thompson explained, “Teaching stimulates my intellectual abilities; it makes me feel good to see them learning ' As Ashleigh Thrasher pointed out, “Being a member of FTA gives us a chance to learn how diffi- cult it is to be an educator.

Photo by Ric Lunsford Good for you What can you say? People are — well, people. A little trouble or a lot of good can bring out the best — or the worst in them. That's the trouble; they're just so unpredictable. You can never really know for certain what someone will do — you can be fairly sure, but in a warped moment, anyone can do almost anything. But that's good, too. If everyone were one hundred percent predictable, life would be pretty boring. Im- pulsiveness and surprises give flavor to life. Who really expects flowers, balloons, or even teddy bears to be delivered to them on any day but their birthdays? Expect it here. Things are delivered just because fairly often. It's not just things, though; when someone's in the worst of moods, other people are willing to tell them someone cares. The best feeling in the world is to know someone cares. People aren't here to get others down. Sometimes they're a little cruel. Most of the time, though, they'll lend a hand willingly to someone in trouble — impulsively, to surprise their victim. It's good for them, and it's good for you. By Eric Nelson Joe Hicks demonstrates the art of yo-yoing to Sonya Dempsey and several other interested onlook- ers.

Photo by Stanley Sharp Seniors Tu rn Into Karate Kids Mr. Monty Atchley, the school counselor, has intro- duced a new art form to the school — martial arts. He runs the Arkansas Kempo and Gung-fu Acade- my, one of four in the state. He says he chose these two forms of martial arts because they are the two most effec- tive styles he is familiar with. He teaches how to fight and defend one's self, meditation and breathing techniques, physiology, first aid, and CPR. For two class hours a week, and two to three hours work- ing on their own, the students must be dedicated to doing their best. The self-discipline neces- sary to learn the art allows his students to improve their self-confidence, self-esteem, and goal-setting abilities. A code of ethics goes hand- in-hand with the discipline and instruction. Any misuse of the knowledge results in immediate dismissal from the academy. Why do the students do it? Steve Earls, who will be up for his first black belt soon, and Mark Walker have been tak- ing lessons for a few years and have chosen it as a hobby. Russ Biggs and Marc McEl- veen, beginners, decided to take the'classes for the self- improvement the art would provide.

One thing on every ju- niors mind is that they are not ready to graduate in twelve months, but they must begin planning for it now. Hence ACT and Na- tional Merit tests come into the picture. Many times preparation begins to wear away on their minds. Rhonda Massey ex- plained that the time limit for each part of the Nation- al Merit test was frustrat- ing to her. Some juniors just despise filling out all of the registration that is required. Jeri Nichols stat- ed that the registration questions for the ACT were tedious. She also re- marked that it took almost an hour to fill out the reg- istration forms. But along with these necessary preparations for college, juniors get the privilege of purchasing a class ring. For some this means begging and plead- ing with Mom or Dad. For others it means tracking down a part-time job; along with keeping their grades up to Mom and Dad's standards. Perhaps the largest bat- tle could be for more free- dom and independence. With cars as our means of escape, the urge to come and go as you please is tempting though usually money plays an important role. Christina Woosley said, When you become a junior, you become more independent. You don't want your parents to do as much for you ... except hand out the money when you need it! But juniors don't need to worry because they won't be cast aside for long. By Sherry Moore That's a good one! laughs Eric Hocott, minutes after everyone had already gotten the joke!

Jennifer Calhoun photo by Mike Robbins The responsibilities my par- ents gave me are that I have to be at school, ac- tually arrive at school, and be in my first period class before the second bell rings.

Totally embarrassed, you turn every shade of red and stumble out the door. Or maybe you forgot about homeroom and stroll into sec- ond period and realize that none of those people are in that class. Or, what about the time you finally reached the ticket window at theater. Try- ing to impress your date, you yank out your wallet and all of your last week's pay check seems to have disappeared. Students never outgrow embarrassing moments; but when you reach your sopho- more year, you think your life is over especially if you are caught in an embarrassing moment by an upper class- man. To counteract the blush- ing blues, sophomores come up with their own tactics of making embarrassing mo- ments bearable. Tina Garrett stated, I'm made fun of a lot and it makes me depressed, but at least I'm not a fresh- man. Whether you brush it off or run and hide, every- one learns to deal with those unexpected moments. Sandra Angel admitted that being a sophomore does have its embarrassing moments. At the beginning of this year, I had to hand out book- cards, but I didn't look at the names on them. Consequent- ly, 1 handed them out to the wrong people. Matthew Foy laughed thinking about the time Paul Crenshaw kicked his English book scattering his papers on the courtyard. It was embar- rassing then, to chase my homework especially with ev- eryone laughing; but now I can laugh about it too. Embarrassing moments do have one redeeming quality; they give us something to laugh at later.

Sure, we know that it has to do with our economy; but one freshman not only knows about it, but he even plays the stock market. Nick Remy, who owns shares in Growth Stock, started experimenting with stock about a year ago after he attended a community service course offered at Westark. Though the October Stock Market Crash seemed bad to some of us, Nick was glad it happened because it made prices cheaper. My stock lost a little in value, but it wasn't hurt over the long term, he explained. Nick really enjoys playing the stock market. It's fun when you keep up with everything. You can do pretty well if you follow everything closely and make intelligent decisions, Nick remarked. Though the Dow Jones Industrial Average may be important to some freshmen, it isn't to others. Danny Robbins stated, I don't really think about it; but it is like a yo-yo, always going up and down.

Photo by Mieke Kauffman Harris teaches French What's the closest you've ever come to France? Sitting at Ken- tucky Fried Chicken eating an order of french fries? Well, Heather Harris has come a little closer. She hasn't actually been to France yet, but because of her interest in France and its culture. Heather is learning the French lan- guage. Heather attended a Foreign Language Camp sponsored by Arkansas Tech held at Subiaco Boys Academy last summer. All of our meals were French food. We learned the names of our food and how to ask for things in French,” Heather ex- plained. But that's not all; she's teaching what she has learned to a class of third graders. Not many people could handle teaching their own language to children that age, but Heather's bubbly personality and love for children make it easy for her to teach French to them. As she answers questions and helps them pronounce words, she keeps a sparkling smile on her face. Heather admitted, I love to see them learning from what I teach. I feel like it's worth all the trou- ble I take sometimes just to know they're interested.” All this learning and teaching is leading up to something. Heather, like most teenagers, has an ul- terior motive. She is work- ing to reach her goal as an exchange student. Heath- er's dad has promised her a semester or year of school in France if she can keep up her grades here. By Kim Mulson HARRIS TEACHES FRENCH Everyone pushes me around be- cause I'm a seventh grader. The older people like to do it because they know how it feels! Paula Davis If it's not one thing it's another. Seventh grade — it almost explains itself. A new school, new teachers, and six years of new experiences ahead of them. Problems with lockers and schedules are just the beginning of the daily turmoil of seventh graders. So for many, the saying, Just take it one day at a time would be most appropriate.

Now students in junior high, they are no longer looked up to, but instead looked down on. They now get to look up to upper classmen who always seem to have the upper hand. Even though seventh graders do get bullied around sometimes, it is usually just in fun. These same seventh graders like to hang around, dress like, and be like their upper classmen. Jason Weaver agreed, I really look up to the older kids, especially the seniors. I like to watch the way they dress and act. But what do they get to look forward to? They have seven long classes and no playground. However, no recess does have its advantages. The first advantage is the extra classes they get to choose from. Now they may take P.E., band, or athletics and even get a grade in it. Daniel Brown commented, I really don't mind not having a recess because I get to make up for it in band, which we didn't have in elementary school. Another advantage is the longer lunch hour and open campus. They can go where they want to for lunch if they have a ride or are willing to walk. Jen- nifer Hardin said, It's all right not having a recess because lunch is almost the same. We still have a chance to release all of our energy. Seventh graders consider these changes to be huge steps, but find they are just a part of growing up.

(Of course, that doesn't necessarily mean that we students be- lieve them!) Still, one must give techers credit for all the after-school work they do. When do they find spare time?

The day wasn't much different than other first-days-of-school at the big brick school building at 509 North Ken- nedy Street. The same stu- dents walked through those same big double doors, the same teachers assigned kids to the same desks, and the first day of school went on as usual. Well, almost as usual. One thing was different. There was a new principal, Pete Prewett. From that time until now, Mr. Prewett has guid- ed, cajoled, and ruled our school. He naturally has many fond (and some not- so-fond) memories of his tenure as principal. My happiest memory is our moving into the new building. That first morn- ing was wonderful. The first pep rally in the new gym was wild! he recalled. Speaking of not-so-fond memories, Mr. Prewett laughingly remembered the time he had to call a girl to his office and lecture her on her behavior prob- lems. She sat quietly dur- ing his talk; unfortunately, Mr. Prewett failed to real- ize the girl was getting sick. In fact, the minute he finished his lecture she threw up all over his desk. He says that one of his favorite parts of being principal is standing out in the hall in passing per- iods. Not to call kids down, but just to watch them. I like watching them change classes and seeing them in the classroom. Mr. Prewett said, Kids, whatever you're doing, do it right. That's a great phi- losophy, and it's what I've tried to do in my time here. Just do your best; it's as simple as that.

What with ad sales, Mr. Miss BHS posters, and Bearcat Boosters, they really seem to be be- hind us all the way. - Shannon Dunn Photo by Ric Lunsford How supportive of our school are area businesses? I've noticed how local businesses always support school fundraisers. To me, that shows just how much they care about our school. - Jenni- fer Holt Photo by Trena Adair Ric Lunsford blows the last little bit of his hard earned cash on gas. Photo by Ashleigh Thrasher Good as gold economic troubles, including a slowdown at the Ace comb plant, the businesses in town are willing to support the school's activities by buying ads, letting clubs put up posters, and participating in fund raisers. It seems no matter what is done, the community support is there. Parades are organized with precious time and care, with floats entered from different businesses. At school sports 1 events, the stands are filled to the last seat — even at away games. Concerts from the band and choirs also feature a full house. School activities hardly ever lack spectators. There are fewer students to support this year; enrollment is lower. The halls seem quieter this year, somehow. The parking lot is a little less crowded. The restaurants at lunch are less busy, though a new one, Mazzio's Pizza, has opened. But even with fewer students, participation in clubs has risen. Students want more from their school — and they're bringing about changes together. The spirit of Booneville is there — perhaps subdued, but still there. The community has given that little bit extra in support, and that support is good as gold.

The air was crisp, clean, and above, in spacious green elm trees, spar- rows sang. But the mood of the crowd was far from happy; in fact many shed tears. For this was not a church picnic or wedding, but a funeral. They had gathered to mourn the death of a friend, Johnny Keith Sitzes, who drowned in a swimming accident July 2, 1986. Johnny was a member of the class of '88 and of the Lakeview Pentecostal Church of God. He was reserved with a silent strength that occasionally showed through his distant exterior. But no greater friend could anyone find, sensitivity and kindness were some of his greatest aspects. He was firm with his convictions; he never backed down from what he believed. Although his footsteps will never again echo through the classrooms or his voice ring out in the hall, his memory will forever be alive at B.H.S.

Every year has its own flavor; this year the bitter sweet taste of change has been dominant. Everything from new standards to new teachers has hit us. We said good- bye to two old friends: Mr. Prewett and Mrs. Crawley, and welcomed two new ones: Mr. Atchley and Miss Fer- eck, replacing Mr. and Mrs. Culps, who retired last year. The faculty met the Governor's standards and planned to forge ahead to make the students excel above the expected level. Mixed in with that change has been the spice of victories in many areas- from the traditional football to the not-so-traditional choir. The football team's appearance in the playoffs set a new record of twelve visits out of eighteen seasons the playoffs have been an institute. Beth Love won the talent competition at the State Beta Convention and will represent the school and state at the national con- vention in Little Rock in June; Scotty New gained a place in the All-Region Choir; the band won two contests; and the FBLA won its usual array of tro- phies at business skills competition. The activities of the year left memo- ries both good and bad, and no other year has — or will — leave the same impressions on our lives. Well, that was the year as we saw it. We included the why as well as the who, where, and when. To the seniors, we bid a fond farewell; to the seventh graders, we extend a hearty welcome. 1987-1988, a very good year.
