Robby Tate, new to Chico this year, seemed very re- laxed before he began his tCSt. Ricky Connally's feelings about the TEAMS test were quite clear in this photo. Juniors were given a break between parts of the test. Burette Douglas and Mi- chelle Weger enjoyed that part of the test. Eric Monett witnessed mass confusion on the part of Tami Clarkson and Kerisia Hilburn before testing re- sumed. I yf , ,,,, 4

jw ' TEAMS' With future graduation on the minds of all juniors, they prepared to take the TEAMS exam. Students in all odd grades must take this assessment instrument. Students at the Exit Level CGrade 111 who fail to demonstrate mastery of mathematics and English language arts, will not be eligible to receive their diplomas upon completion of their senior year. They are given three additional chances to pass if they are unsuccessful the first time. Knowing this, the juniors marched into the library like soldiers. Each student had their own opinion of this instrument, but only facial expressions and groans were seen and heard. Mrs. Linda Lynch, Chico I.S.D. Counselor, conducted the test and watched as the anxious juniors began this very important task. In August, 1981, Mrs. Lynch began working at Chico through the auspices of the Education Service Center, Region XI, in Fort Worth. She also worked for the other small schools in Wise County CAlvord, Slidell, Paradise, and Boydj. Gradually, she reduced the number of schools to one. 1 She began working at Chico on a full time basis in August, 1987. Her duties include administrative assistant, counselor, teacher ap- praiser, curriculum director and accreditation specialist. Mrs. Lynch stated her main goal was to help the juniors and seniors to prepare for graduation, college, and the world of workf' Kathy Redwine didn't seem to be enjoying herself. Russell Hornsbyis face illustrated con- cern of most juniors. Casey Hamner looked a bit stunned. 4 w-a,,,,Ww

Young people today can decide to participate or remain in their own world. Choices are becoming a part of the curriculum and there is usually something for everyone. The old saying, variety is the spice of lifen certainly fits the routine today. Not only do students have a wide range of choices, but they have to make the right ones. These decisions start at a very early age!

They are given several opportunities to show their support for the junior high and high school football teams. The sixth graders are given a choice between art and band. Under the guidance of Mr. Olsen, art students are adding their touches to the homecoming float the class entered this year. By the way, it was a very good float!
