The Locker Game Students depend on lockers for everything - even homework High schools could not operate without them. They are often used and abused. They are often used as students' favorite excuse, Of course I have my homework, it's in my locker. Yes, lockers. Few teach- ers and principals realize that the classroom is not the center of the educa- tional system; lockers are. Lockers are responsible for more missing home- work pa- pers, missing text- books, and miss- ing li- brary books than any other place in school. Within a year's time, lockers have mysteri- ously eat- en over 252,000 A papers, that is if stu- dents' excuses are believed. For the student, lockers are more than a place to keep, (or hide), home- work. For the clever stu- dent, the locker becomes a reference library. In the bottom of the locker is the stolen thesaurus from Miss Paugh's room, the missing dictionary from Mr. Costello's room and the Dec. 5 issue of TIME from the library. Face it, for stu- dents, lockers are a class away from class. Character, that's what it takes to make a locker your own. Lockers 16

These two boys, however, who used to whip one an- other in college, are State Treasur- er, A James Manchin, and Prin- cipal Robert L. Shields. Shields, who used to think he easily plant- ed Man- chin while wrestling at WVU, received a tribute from his old friend. Manchin presented him a certificate honoring Shields as Administrator of the Year, as selected by the West Virginia Asso- ciation for Counseling and Development. He re- ceived this recognition for the implementation fo a comprehensive career education program at the school. After the presentation, which also included hon- oring Mrs. E. Joy Lynch as Counselor of the Year, for the '85 school term, Manchin went on to ad- dress the student body. Instead of 'whip- ping' his old school chum, Manchin set out to 'whip' the atti- tudes of the stu- dents. Don't moan and groan, he stated, when asked to stand up for America, be proud that you can stand. ''Whipping attitudes. A. James Manchin addresses the students. Special Honors 15
