The 9ecret is out Bookroom of value From Shakespeare ' s plays to books on how to build a car, the hbrar provided a well-rounded source of information. The library was used as a source of information for re- search papers, book reports and special projects. My Data Processing classes did research for building a data base. In addition, each student had to research a topic relating to computers. They used the li- brary for researching their top- ic, business teacher Kathy Col- lins said. The library had other uses, as well. It gave students a place to go to study in the morning and during lunch. I used the library to study for tests in the morning before school and also at the end of my lunch period, sophomore Me- lissa Kinsey said. Despite the many uses for the books and periodicals in the li- brary, the room took on a totally different meaning during third period. It became a meeting place. The East Library held dif- ferent club meetings and the West Library was the home of the Student Council activity pe- riod. The library was definitely more than a room full of books. The library gave me an easy and quick place to get informa- tion for a report or just a chance to get a good book to read, senior Fred Duck said. It saved me from fighting traffic to go downtown to the Austin Public Library. The library was one of the best Best Kept Secrets. Stu- dents were really surprised to see what the library had to offer. It had a whole range of topics plus a place for students to go to in their spare time. The library provided a necessary service to the student body. Complete Auto Parts; and Machine Shop Service SOUTH AUSTIN AUTO SUPPLY 2801 Manchaca Rd.

The 9ecret is out . . . Honor roll rewards efforts Every six weeks the computer sheets hanging inside the trophy case by the East Office were changed. Four columns of sheets distinguished each class. The honor roll lists named each student who had made at least one A and five grades between 80 and 90. Students who made Cs, however, did not make the honor roll even if they had five As and only one C. It ' s a good feeling when I make the honor roll, junior Denise Schriber said. It is an accomplish- ment to know all my hard work went into some kind of recognition. Making the grade meant more than just the hon- or roll. Some parents and teachers would give priv- ileges to those students who showed they could achieve high standards in the classroom. My parents would give me money or take me out to eat when I made As, junior Jennifer John- son said. Being on the honor roll helped me get into honors classes and Honor Society. Being on the honor roll had other advantages as well. Teachers tend not to call on you as often in class to answer questions, sophomore Kara Jen- sen said. They know you have the answer so they only make you answer when no one else can. The counselors also checked the honor roll to keep up with students progress. Mrs. Lepine kept me informed on the SAT prep class and she checked on scholarships and colleges for others, Schriber said. The honor students are also the ones often picked to go to seminars and workshops and that usually goes through their of- fice. Letters to the parents were mailed out each time their child made straight As in school. Principal Joe Brown commended the parents and the student for his or her dedication to making high grades. Being able to make the honor roll could be hard work, especially when the student was involved in extracurricular activities. Many honor students had to learn the value of time management. Playing basketball took a lot of time away from studying, Jensen said. When I got out of practice I went straight to my homework and then to sleep. There wasn ' t much time for T.V. Achieving the honor roll gave other incentives for keeping high grades. My grades have to get me into college. I want to go to The University of Texas and then become a teacher. High grades show I ' m learning what is being taught and I want to get the most from my classes since they arc also helping me to decide what field I will want to teach. Schriber said.
