8:00 Still no date and too much lipstick. Does my hair look flat? Where's the hair spray? I don't like this dress as much as I did when I bought it. Fuschia, Fuschia, Fus-chia! It clashes with my red hair and pale skin. I bet my corsage clashes too. 8:15 I'm going CRAZY! The % ! cat just ripped my hose. I know I don't have another pair. “Mom, HELP ME!! Home of Conrad Clutz 7:30 Great, 1 have to pick my date up in twenty minutes and 1 haven't started to get ready. I knew 1 shouldn't have gone to work out so late. This has got to be the quickest shower ever. 8:00 Oh boy, now 1 get to go meet her parents. 1 know her dad's going to ask a million questions and I'll probably be too nervous to say anything right. I just hope she doesn't have a little brother or sister to tease me! On February 6, NIROTC sponsored Winter Formal for the 9-12 grades. This year the dance was held at the LSU Faculty Club for the first time. The band Rare Form'' played from 8:00 to 11:30. The group was found through “Battle of the Bands held at LSU to promote new sounds. 'The band was the best ever, and the $1000 was worth it! They played good music and everyone wanted to dance, said Katie Grotness, one of the officers presented at Winter Formal. Other officers presented were: Heather Bauder, Joe Cummings, Ellen Naquin, Jan McBride and Andrea Spring. Attendance was high with over 400 people at the dance. The 300.00 dollars raised will go towards an award banquet at the end of the year for the NJROTC.

'll ou have to be prepared to i! be the 98% who fail in professional sports' said guest speaker Jerry Stovall. A shocker?-Yes, but Stovalls speech to the athletes stressed the importance of academics. This years fall sports banquet was held on January 20th in honor of those who participated in Football, Girls and Boys Cross Country, and Volleyball. The Highstcppers and Cheerleaders were recognized as well. The banquet began at 5:30 with a stand-up supper in the Webster Dining Hall, followed by the awards presentation in the new Greer Center. Former LSU coach Jerry Stovall offered an inspiring presentation as guest speaker. He stressed the importance of both being a good athlete, and a good student. The audience responded positively to Sto- vall's presentation, and the message he gave the athletes was appropriate: being a good student is more important than being a good athlete. For the first year highsteppers and cheerleaders were awarded a varsity letter for their achievement. Both squads put in many hours of hard work, and after three years of negotiations with coaches and sponsors, they were finally rewarded. Coach Duplechin received a big suprise from his boys cross country team this year: a teal blue mountain bike. The best thing about having a big team is that the coach can get a big present! said John Coleman as he awarded the bike to Coach Duplechin. The bike will get plenty of use because he often rides beside the cross country team while they run. Coach Duplechin tries out his new Guest speaker Jerry Stovall enter-mountain bike given to him by the tained the audience with stories of his cross country team experience.
