 Last October I decided to become involved in the homecoming variety show. I had been active in the past shows, but this year was the first time I played an important character. Although my part was not the leading role, playing the wicked witch in our senior skit was an interesting job. I had to disguise my voice and wear the right costume. Even my friends didn’t recognize me at first. The night of the variety show was one of tension. My head was filled with mixed-up lines and hope of remembering them on stage. When the actual moment came, all I could do was pray that I was ready. As the curtain opened. I looked out into the crowd. Suddenly my heart jumped and I was saying to myself. Start now . . . start now!” The next thing 1 knew it was all over and I was getting ready to go home. I had done it! The excitment of being on stage was not the only reason I enjoyed being in the variety show. I was especially pleased with working with other people and making new friends. Although the prac- tices were sometimes frustrating, it was fun being able to work more closely with my classmates. I think the homecoming variety show is an important high school activity. Fun is not the only reason to have the variety show: the different classes compete for first place and that takes teamwork. Teamwork is an important part of maturing.” — LISA GARD Maintaining an 'A' average is hard to do. especially if you have a part-time job. but I am doing it. Working after school and in the evenings takes away study time and personal time, the time I used to use to pursue my hobbies such as stamp collecting watching HBO, and researching my family tree. I still get a chance to work on those things once in a while, but not as much as I would like. There is one thing that I still try to do and that is to lift weights every other day. My schedule is very full so I need some outside activity that serves as an escape — lifting weights. I have a routine that I do that requires about an hour and a half to two hours every two days. It keeps me feeling well physically and mentally. While I am lifting I am not thinking about my grades in Anatomy Physiology or APS. I listen to rock music (I like Michael Jackson) and that takes my mind off of the pressures of school and work. I want to be a doctor and I know to achieve my goal I will have to concentrate on my studies and so I have been disciplining myself to stick to a rather rigid schedule. It has been a slow adjustment, but it has brought me much satisfaction. — DAVID FRANK 25

“Being a high school senior who is trying to obtain a good background for the future. I truly believe that education is extremely important. We live in a country that offers boundless opportunities and I see no reason why we should not set high goals for ourselves. I plan to attend Millikin University in Decatur where I expect to major in accountig or business management. I have taken several business courses at Limestone. Also, my father is a home contractor who has given me a brief introduction about maintaining a business; so, I have enough basic knowledge to really enjoy the business field. I am looking forward to attending college and leaving home for the first time. I look forward to making new friends and expanding my horizons. Presently, much of my spare time is spent babysitting. My sister and brother both have two children whom I watch quite often. I also volunteer in the nursery at our church. The experience of dealing with the children and their parents is very satisfying, however, somedays it is a test of my patience. I hope to have children of my own and this gives me a little preparation for the future. The importance of education will always be stressed in my home. — LISA HOFFMAN Misha Sapp, Rozanna Anderson, Mary Wolstenholme, and Joann Snyder were among the seniors who were honored at the Academic Honors Banquet. 26 Do It!
