The purpose of four-year plans were for students to decide what classes they wanted or needed to prepare them for their future. I think it was to let us see what classes we were interested in and get us ready for college, freshmen Stefany Wallace said. Most students fill the plans out in mid-school and in their soph- omore year, the counselors sched- ule a parent conference to discuss the student ' s plans. I remember filling them out, but I know ril change my mind because I don ' t know what I ' m doing with my life yet, freshmen Daniel Stewart said. Even though some freshmen don ' t know what they ' re doing after high school, quite a few have made a decision. Fresh- man Cynthia Ellis said she would like to be a veternarian and go to college at Texas A and M. I heard it has one of the best veternarian schools to go to, she said. Whatever a freshman ' s deci- sion is to make a career out of, four-year plans are defmitley a necessity for students. I really think they help kids make a decision about careers, freshmen Russell Moore said. Although, freshmen don ' t have to make a decision about after high school careers yet, four-year plans help them or- ganize any plans they might have. Talking to counselor Peg Raiford, fresh- man Angela Jhanson discusses the dif- ferent classes she can take to prepare her for college. I ' hulu b SUu- M. andUss ] Freshmen V 187 I !

FACULTY Mano Acosla Larry Adair Maria Alarcom Thomas Allen Shawn Alyea Robert Armstrong At the baby shower given for Rusty and Christy Wallace at the school, they showed off their new baby and talked about how proud of him they are. Photo by Sieve Mci ' andless Teachers take on new role to become loving parents hen a couple decides the time is right, having a baby can be a memo- rable experience. My house was like Worid War III hit it. It is never clean anymore. We have bottles, dirty clothes and diapers every- where, new father coach Rusty Wallace said. Changing diapers, making bottles, and getting up in the middle of the night all go along with the joy of having a baby. Babies are a lot of fun but they are a lot of work and you have to have time and patience, love and lots of understanding to re- ally enjoy having one. I left school for the first se- mester when I had my little girl and when I came back just be- fore Christmas vaction it was a change. I love to work with the kids, but I do miss her and sometimes I ' d just rather be at home with her, freshmen Eng- lish teacher Kay Compton said. Life can be rough once there is a baby in the house but the anticipation of a newborn could be rough too. Is it a boy or a girl? Will it look like him or me? Will it become a football star or a top notch cheerleader? What will become of this child we are taking on? These questions and many more were thought of all through the nine month wait. It seems like it is harder on the father even though they have the easy part. I ' m looking forward to my wife having this baby because I ' m ready for a family now. I really want a little girl because I love little girls, but no matter what it is I ' ll love it anyway! expecting father Steve Barnes said. Whether the parents were ex- pecting or new, the joy they shared for the newest members of their family was all the same. V Faculty Staff
