King Convo Inspires Keeps dream alive hank God Al¬ mighty, we ' re free at last! Hundreds of stu¬ dents gathered in West Side ' s auditorium in memory of the late Dr. Martin Luther King. Kicking-off the convo, the LW Brass Quintet played the National Anthem. Kimberly Bal¬ lou, a Wirt student, recited King ' s “I Have A Dream speech, I think Dr. King was an inspir¬ ing leader who believed in what he thought was right, said Tiffany Harrington, junior. “I feel King was a coura¬ geous person who fought to provide me with equal oppor¬ tunity, said LaShawn Nunn, se¬ nior. Towards the end of the birth¬ day celebration, members of the audience joined hands and sang the moving We Shall Overcome. He risked his life for others and this is what makes me want to keep his dream alive, said Jerome Lynch, senior, □ written by DiMonique Jones Malis, back in ‘Lady Beth’ ctress Claire Malis, LW graduate, who made good both in W? television and on stage, returned to her roots to per¬ form in the steel workers play Lady Beth. It was Malises ' way of renewing old acquaintances and of showing her concern for unemployed steel workers. She related that her own father had been one of those steel¬ men many years ago. During the play, she recalled youthful memories of her father working at USS, now USX. At 9:00 sharp every evening, he would promptly come out of his bedroom fully dressed for work, she remem¬ bered. And I would feel so proud of him, Malises ' voice softened. The play itself was unusual. It consisted of testimonial vinuettes by former workers. One day, despite all of our faithful years of service to USS, they came to us and told us the mills were closing. Many eyes in the audience filled with tears. As a student at LW, Malis had been a Varsity Cheerleader, Editor- In-Chief of the Quill Blade, Presi¬ dent of the Girls Club, and a mem¬ ber of the Drama Club. After grad¬ uating from Indiana University, Malis landed a number of television jobs, including the role of Dorian Lord on One Life to Live and more re¬ cently, a role in an episode of Our House. □ written by Tracey Hall HISTORY -23

Career Center has Pro’s and Con’s Students of the Month, tops earning a trade is a must today. Gary ' s Career Center gives LW upperclassmen an opportunity to learn that trade while still in high school, giving them an edge on the job market after graduation. Vocational students say that the Career Center has both its good and bad sides. On the plus side, senior Monique Jeffries, a cosmetology student, said, One thing I like about going to the Ca¬ reer Center is that you get out of school early. Another good thing about the Career Center is that I meet a lot of people from other schools, said Charles Barnes, senior electronics student. On the down side, senior An¬ nette Nokovic, an accounting student, confided, I think the Career Center ' s boring and there ' s nothing to do a lot of times. Most Career Center students really work hard, however, and some even make Student of the Month. In 1987-88, the following LW students were honored as outstanding Students of the Month: Bryon Carlisle, graphics communication; Keith Griner, building maintenance; Sandra Cuculik, horticulture; Alberto Ma¬ gana, Cobol II, Dolita Moore, fashion marketing; Latonya Sum- merfield, horticulture, Cora Sut¬ ton, food prep; Kara Taylor, word processing; Donta Wash¬ ington, carpentry; and Tracey Williams, secretarial. □ written by Cathy Porch EYEING A FUTURE health career Mi¬ chelle Murry, se¬ nior, takes senior, Tamlka Haynes’ temperature with a new digital ther- ; mometer.
