 In The Beginning . . . i Extra!, Extra!! What's black and white and read all over? Hauser's newspaper. The idea for a school newspaper came when Mr. Dennis Herron asked Tim Flora why Hauser didn't have one. As editor, Tim wrote possible newspaper titles and the staff voted on their favorite. People's Printout was chosen based on the fact that all the stories are entered on computer and then printed out. The staff, which consists of 13 students in grades 7-12, met every Tuesday after school in the art room. “I joined People's Printout because my mother wanted me to. But since I have become involved in the newspaper work, I have enjoyed it and am glad I became a part of it, said Greg Gick. Once the idea of a newspaper took place, much work and research had to be done. Adviser, Mrs. Janeen Blomenberg and Mrs. Mary Beth Hufty, went to Colum- We have been working with youth groups for about six years. We feel the Hope area is a place to start a Campus Life chapter because of the unity shared by the high schoolers and the community, said Lynn and Larry Detwiler, the directors of Hope's first Campus Life program. They became aware of the need of a program when they attended a task force bus North's journalism department where they were shown the basics of layout, photography, and the printing process. Mrs. Blomenberg then went to different printing establishments to see who would print the newspaper. Tri County Enterprise was selected because they were the most helpful. The Edinburgh location of Tri County made the layout format and gave some material to be used. The People's Printout had success with its first edition because of hard work shown by the staff. I am really pleased with the amount of effort that people are willing to put into an extracurricular event. Not only do students spend time on Tuesdays but on Saturdays, too, said Mrs. Blomenberg. The staff worked on Saturdays to sell ads, type the stories, fit the headlines, and design the layouts. Approval was received after meeting. We want kids to develop team spirit and at the same time give them something to do, replied Lynn Detwiler. Campus Life is a youth organization that is centered around introducing kids to Christ. “We try to create activities so the kids have a good time and yet learn about the gospel. Activities created to cause inter- reading the first edition of People's Printout. In fact, one article written by Greg Gick, called Hauser Etiquette, was reprinted in the Hope Star Journal because of its merit. Mrs. Hufty commented on the professional job on People's Printout.

With the scavenger hunt, a team would go to different homes to bring back people to fit certain categories, such as a cheerleader and exchange student. The team who brought back the most people won a trip to the Paramount Pizza Palace. The purpose was to introduce new faces to Campus Life. “Scream in the Dark, the other activity, was a haunted house which the group attended Youth In Christ 10

Miss Gordon graduated from Ball State where she majored in math and minored in social studies and P.E.

She taught junior high math, social studies 9, general math I, and coached varsity volleyball and junior high basketball. Miss Back, who married in April and changed her name to Mrs. Seibert, also graduated from Ball State majoring in math. She taught ”1 have hoped for this for the past five years and it finally came true! said Kelly Drinkwater, one of 127 students chosen from Australia to participate in the foreign exchange program. Attending school in America made me realize how different this school system is compared to ours, said Kelly. Classes in Australia were shorter such as choir and yearbook. These classes are not considered a part of the school curriculum, but are after school activities. Math was another subject that was run differently. Our algebra I, general math II, and business math. Southern Indiana is known for its great kids, said Miss Back who enjoys needle work and watching races. Varsity volleyball coach, Miss Jeanne Gordon gives her squad a pep talk before their match against Edinburgh. math is not divided into different levels such as geometry and algebra, but is taught by grade level so we get some geometry, algebra, trigonometry, and calculus every year, she said. Sports played an important part in their school but in a different way from that of Hauser's. Those involved in sports got a break by being involved in Sports Day. We get out every Wednesday for three periods to play other schools, said Kelly, who was a member of the girls basketball team. “I don't think we put as Mr. Chuck McCue discusses the Compromise of 1850 in his seventh period U S. history class. Mr. McCue also taught world history, economics, and current events. much emphasis on training as you do here, we only practice once or twice a week. We are more concerned with academics rather than athletics. Kelly returned home to Australia in July where her tentative plans were to join the Air Force. She felt that she had an advantage over others because she had matured and learned to handle situations that she would not have been able to before. You do a lot of growing up when you leave home like I've done; you have to adapt to a different lifestyle, Kelly said, I am glad I took advantage of the opportunity to come, live, and study in America.

We're In The Money During seventh period, Mr. Gene Genth and John White stand by, Bryan Fuel reaches in to pull his share of the $900 contained in the cash draw.

There were twelve prizes to choose from and anyone who sold eight or more items was in the prize drawing. The second drawing, the cash drawing, was only available to those students who sold ten items or more. during Halloween. Another interesting event that occurred was a rollerthon. The goal was to raise money for an upcoming trip to Florida over spring break. Each member got sponsors who paid them by the minute to roller skate. Half of the money raised went to the Hope Chapter of Campus Life and the remaining half went to the individuals who raised the money. The individual's money was used to defray the $250 price of their proposed trip. Through Campus Life, I have met new friends, become closer to old ones, and learned how to have fun the right way. Campus Life has been beneficial to Hauser students and the Hope community ' ended Tonya Ellis.
