The Annual Staff Strives For A Better Book Penny Stokes enjoys working on the annual. David Ingram and Mrs. Whittum work in the Darlington Academy booth at the fair on the Annual Statt night. The two big money making projects for the an- nual staff were the booths at the Dar- lington County Fair and the Halloween Carnival here at the school. Along with Mrs. Whittum, the staff worked many hours to give this book a personality of its own, and we hope you enjoy it. Walt Edwards receives help from Joey Abate during a Thursday meeting. Jerry Kirven reluctantly licks a picture tag and finds it not so tasty.

NHS Initiates Three Angela Tyner, Kim Anderson, Melissa Severance, and Larry Pietarinen. Three new members are Kim Anderson, Melissa Severance, and Angela Tyner. Mrs. Brown is the advisor of the academy’s National Honor Society. This year’s newspaper staff worked hard to put out four issues of the Roadrunner Review. Due to the cost of printing, three issues were mim- eographed and the fourth issue was printed. To raise money to print the newspaper, the staff’s first project was selling cokes at the booth for Dar- lington Academy at the County Fair. During the Halloween Carnival, the staff sponsored a fish pond for the young guests at the event. The staff strove to make the school paper a truely representative spokesman for the entire student body. All major school events, original student crea- tions, and essays of student opinion filled the pages of this year s issues. Indeed the staff had a newspa- per with content they could be proud of. Larry Pietarinen is the president of the acad- emy’s NHS. Winners of the cute baby picture contest were Kim Anderson and Joey Abate. 25
