All the wrong things done all the right ways Cheating is sometimes the easy way (but the wrong way) out. ’’The test is today?” How many times have you heard this? For some students, the easiest way of getting around forgot- ten homework and tests is the good ol’ fashioned way of cheating. For some students, the so-called ’’joint project” is attempted. This is when one person, usually a student who studied, passes the answers around the classroom. Sometimes a teacher, not knowingly, will throw away tests after running them off. The lucky stu- dent who finds the dis- carded test will then distribute them to all of their friends, and then they in turn to their friends, and so on. Other common ways of cheating are to write answers on desks, folders, clothing, and skin. But probably the most com- I’VE GOT AN A” in science . SOLD!!

This is when students write the answers on a tiny sheet of paper to aid them during the crisis of a test. Cheating can also be expensive. Some people pay a good typist to type their term papers and to correct their grammar and misspelled words. Students have also been known to pay a pretty penny for upcoming tests and old exams. Education is important and should be taken seri- ously. Even though we sometimes fall behind, it is still no excuse to cheat. What we learn in school is taught to us for a reason. It would be nice if we could keep this thought in mind the next time we are tempted. -Lisa Spaetzel

Tonight’s the night! A stunned Sandi Roggenbuck is crowned 1986-87 homecoming queen. ’’Tonight’s the night!” That’s exactly what every student thought as home- coming night finally rolled around the comer. Having rained all week, there were many sighs of relief as the sky cleared on Friday, October 10. Naturally, we were ex- pecting rain or snow as it had done this for the last few years. To serve on the home- coming court two stu- dents were elected from each class. From the sen- ior class there were six chosen, but only two of them would become king and queen. All represen- tatives were chosen a week before so they would have plenty of time to prepare themselv- es for the actual moment that they were to repre- sent their class on home- coming night. Of the three senior boy repre- sentatives, Joel Bowerman was an- nounced king earlier in the day at the pep assembly. Much hard work and thought were given to the floats as each class chose a theme and built from there. The finished pro- ducts of the team work were a big part of the pa- rade held before the game. The juniors pulled it off with the winning float. On that evening, the homecoming court and cheerleaders were lead through town by the high school band. The game had a great start as the Eagles piled up points against the Owen-Gage Bulldogs. During the first half of the game, the senior re- presentatives waited very patiently for the queen to be announced. When the time arrived, everyone cheered as they watched Sandi Roggenbuck be crowned the 1986-87 Homecoming Queen. All of the hard work and patient waiting paid off when the game was over. The Eagles won against the Owen-Gage Bulldogs, 41-6. -Candy Durham WATCH OUT as you enter the Danger Zone ! That’s how the Juniors put it with their prized possession, the winning float.
