 LET'S HAVE fl PARTY by Kelley Miller During the school year Valentine’s Day is like an oasis in a desert. Around February things start getting pretty monotonous and Valentine’s Day gives the students a perfect excuse to have a party. From Kindergarteners to Seniors everybody likes to party. Most grade schoolers have parties in their homerooms to celebrate February 14th. They decorate boxes and pass out valentines to each other. Room-mothers bring treats of candy and cake so the kids can “pig-out” and play games. The Jr. High joined in the fun by decorating the bulletin boards and hallways. They also decked out the cafeteria with streamers and balloons for their Friday evening dance. At the high school, the yearbook staff sold candy hearts and hosted the annual Valentine’s Day dance. The “dance” turned into a “party” when the only place available to have the dance turned out to be the grade school cafeteria. The new high school gym floor was being re-varnished. Also, the band scheduled to play was unable to attend, but Mark Smith and Robert Paternoga offered to be D.J.’s for a night. The students overlooked these small difficulties and had a great time comparing their computer compatibility lists. Each list was of ten people’s names that that person is most compatible with. Brimfield students really know how to party and have fun!! CanPuTET 28 — Special Events

 WE ARE THE EAAMPIQNS By: Melinda McKim There were many C-H-A-M-P-l hanging around in the fifth, sixth, and eighth grades this year. They challenged to excellence by taking the Science Fair, Spelling Bee, and Contest. Nine junior high students entered projects in this year’s science fair. They started their projects in the fall and spent much time experimenting to be ready for the fair in March. Two students received outstanding ratings for their projects. Five students received firsts and two received seconds. Mr. Davis judged the projects on scientific content, appearance, and overall quality. He was aided by Junior judges Mark Mueller, Scott Keithley, and David Ryan. Those students who earned outstandings went to the regional fair at Elmwood. Forty participants entered the traditional school spelling bee and battled for the title. Mrs. Seymour pronounced word after word for nine rounds. Mr. Griner and Miss Snow, the judges, announced that Jenny Tompkins from 6B, was the runner-up and Tom Staley, from 7B, was the winner. Tom correctly spelled the word “breadwinner.” He went to the county match as representative for the grade school where he lasted seven rounds. 30 — Special Events
