A Gift Without A Price Tag When you hear the word “gift’’ what do you think of? Toys under a Christmas tree, birthday parties and Valentines Day. Some people would not consider writing a gift but Jan Gettys does. Jan started writing seriously when she came to Burns. Sybil Dixon her English teacher told her about the different opportunities and encouraged her to enter contests. She won first in the state for a short story she wrote in the tenth grade called “Once in Autumn” which she later made into a play for her English class. In the eleventh grade she entered the same contest and won third in the state for a short story called ‘‘A Gift Without A Price Tag.”’ This year Jan entered the Na- tional Achievement Awards in Writing contest. She had to write an on the spot essay and submit three pieces of her work. Jan was one of the 800 winners out of 7000 students. The longest and hardest thing for Jan to write was the short story she wrote in the tenth grade. It was thirty-two typed pages long but she had to cut it down to meet the requirements of the contest. This took her a whole weekend. Then she had to make it into a play. Jan com- mented, “I was so tired of that story by the end of the year. When asked why she liked to write Jan replied, “I've always admired somebody that could write. If | can write something that somebody else can enjoy and that will help them to understand themselves better, | feel really good.”’ Jan is also the editor of the newspaper staff. When asked if her writing helped her in her newspaper writing Jan said, “The newspaper helps me in writing. | have to write every month and it keeps me sharp and | don’t get out of practice. The story that | won with last year was for the newspaper.” Jan wants to make a career in writing. ‘‘I’d really like to write books but as hard as it takes me to think of ideas | could waste my whole life away trying to write.” JANE ELIZABETH CLARK — FBLA 12; Bus Driver’s Club 11,12.

Creating Smiles Being a Bulldog sure does have its moments. “‘I’ll never forget the South Point game. Two guys from South Point dared this other South Point guy to come up and bite me on my leg. | was so em- barrassed’’, commented junior Bulldog, Celeste Harkey. Senior Bulldog, Sandra Hayes has a problem seeing and it almost cost her her life. ‘‘During a football pep rally | was walking around center court in the gym when all of a sudden | heard something that sounded like thunder. It was all the football players running out to center court. | got out of there as fast as | could.’” Sandra added, ‘’The suit is too big for me. | have to pin it up about six inches. If | don’t | can’t take three steps without falling.”’ The Bulldogs were picked on the basis of how well they could do the cheers, shout and most of all make people laugh. During pep rallies the Bulldogs dance around and wag their tails. When asked whether having a Bulldog boosted school spirit Sandra replied, ‘’| don’t know whether or not it helps school spirit but I've been able to make a lot of little kids smile.”’ KENNETH DARRELL ENGLAND THOMAS FINNEY — Cross Country 10; Bus Driver’s Club 10,11,12.
