FEBRUARY vvering he Evidence Say Cheese And Do Not Move Looking forward to graduation, the Senior class of 86' took their place as they prepared for the annual class picture. While many were thrilled with the realization that the last day of school marked the end of a long joumey, all shared the feelings of apprehension for what the future held after graduation. Most will go on to succeed in college, while others will join the armed services. Some will become housewives, and some may become instant millionaires. No matter what the future had in store for the Seniors, they remembered their high school days as preparation for the real world. Written by Holli Duong. The Seniors take their place on the stands for their annual class picture. Photo by Alex Salinas.

Author of Books Relates During mid-January, author Richard Peck came to visit the Freshman classes and interested guests. Richard Peck is a famous novelist, and most of his books deal with teenagers and their problems. Peck's works include such books as Don't look, it Won't Hurt, Are You in the House Alone? and Close Enough to Touch You. Peck spoke of the many problems that teenagers encounter in their lifetimes. He emphasized the fact that no matter how rough life becomes, there is always an end in sight. He was so wonderful. When he got underway, he seemed to be a really creative and inspiring person, said Senior Kim Beachum. Written by Britt Alexander. Richard Peck spoke to several of the freshmen students, and to literary magazine members, Scott Kelley and Jennifer Blume. He talked to them about te e problems, many of which are discussed in his books.

When the finalists were announced, the boys from Jersey Village were on top. Mitch Boren made se- cond chair bass, and Jason Scarcella made first chair tenor.

White carnations represented an admirer, pink for friendship, and the famous red for LOVE. It also boosted a person's view about themselves if they received any of the three variations of the flower. I still can not figure out who sent me the white carna- tions, Mina Kim said. Writ- ten by Holli Duong. Ribbons cut by Dana Pollard aid the preparations of the flower sales.
