I ' m looking forward ro finding out what hap- pens in rhe future, said senior Corol Reu- monr, chosen os one of two sfudenrs os a Na- tional Merir semi-finalisr. According ro Dr. Anne Coppenhaver, prin- cipal, The National Merir Scholarship Program is a corporation that gives scholarships to students nation-wide who score a cerrain percenrage on thePSAT Sean Starke, also a semi-finalist, said the PSAT wasn ' t really rhar complicared. I usually do well on rhose tests. He also said rhar everyone should arrempr ro rake rhe rest. It is good ptac- tice for rhe SAT, and ir shows you whar you are capable of doing. Sean and Carol ore able ro keep excellenr grades in advanced classes and keep up with a very busy exrracurriculor acriviries schedule. The Narional Merir Scholarship program is one way ro get a scholarship to college, but it is not the only way, nor rhe mosr imporranr way, said Dr. Coppenhaver. Ir is merely a way for colleges ro recognize small high schools like D. H. S. and rheir excelerared studenrs ro give rhem o chance ro go ro college. Seniors 51

Senior Mimi Millicon is unique. She believes that some people ore just afraid ' o step out of the ordinary and ler rheir feelings ;how. She is a definite individual. She dares to be dif- ferent in the everyday run of school. Mimi said she likes to be different as a way to express in- ner rebellionism and individuality. Mimi chooses to be different in a liberal at- titude in clothing, fashion, jewelry, etc. This at- titude marks her as unique. She does not encourage others to think this way. She believes that everyone has the right to be an individual without prejudice. People may often tease Mimi about her at- titude, but she replies, People don ' t soy that much to me. Sometimes people can be hateful, biased, and insensitive, says Mimi. She takes care of this problem by ignoring them or asking them why they dress the way they dress. Having a sense of humor con help when peo- ple tease Mimi. She jokingly adds that being dif- ferent is fun, bur it gets in my way because peo- ple form false opinions about me. She olso believes that she amuses people, but some admire her because she does something different. She thinks some of the students are just afraid to step out of the ordinary and ler their feelings show. Seniors 53
