lDo Students Realire . . . The Importance Of Being Informed? Between the covers of the year- book, Reflections, and in each issue of The Round-Up, many hours of hard work were spent in hopes of making the school year just a little more interesting. Both staffs burned the midnight oil trying to meet deadlines. The constant de- mands of the student body kept both publications aware of their needs. The Round-Up, advised by Mr. Bob Nestor, documented monthly school happenings as they oc- curred. Commentaries were made by the staff on issues of local and national importance. I realized how important it is to make the public aware of happenings. If the newspapers didn't search out the stories, no one would ever know about it, sid Katrina Jacobs. The teamwork of the award-win- ning Reflections staff helped to de- velop a yearbook designed to ap- peal to the entire student body. The experience was very re- warding. A lot of people worked very hard in order to produce the pages for every deadline, said Ke- lie McGlade. Section editor Pete Carver said, Our staff works like a well-oiled machine. Both Reflec- tions and The Round-Up give 10096 to the student body. We are here for them. Both publications worked to gain the attention of the students and teachers on issues concerning them. Not only did each staff cover each events throughout the school year but added to them as well. Britt Lunceford ,ont you agree? Adviser Nancy :Smith andliellie McGlade decide on the best picture to appear ,in a layout. Not only did reporters write stories but they drew layouts and planned pictures as well. iPhoto by Robert Freemanyf ' A' T 'M' W rmeevwsm:-sxfxswaaaawsmawwr Pubdcalibua 71

Is It Just O I think of art as an expression of a person's mind through their hands, said Heather Stephens, de- scribing her feelings about art. Most students who took a course involving art, dramatic art, or mu- sic, felt that the hard work and abundance of time involved was worth it every time that they were recognized. Art students used many different media to achieve the desired effect for an art work. A new addition to possible projects included draw- ings on the new art computer. An- other advantage available was join- ing of the national art honor society. Musically, students gained hon- ors in chorus, band, and strings, Carla Davies, a member of the singing Christmas tree, that per- formed in Washington, D.C. said, I enjoyed working with other stu- dents from different schools. It was a lot of fun. The marching band gathered many awards and honors in the rush it up! Junior Lanie Ross paints a mural on the hall.

Ioe Riopelle said, The band has a winning attitude and we try to show that in every performance. The strings department also par- ticipated in the singing Christmas tree. One of the strings classes was part of the experimental sunset!- sunrise program. James Garrett, an early morning student said, Get- ting up in the morning wasn't easy, but I benefitted from the class, so it was worth it. The drama department contin- ued in offering a class to students who were interested in communi- cation and wanted to learn to ex- press themselves. Students who wanted to further their education in the dramatic arts went to the Fine Arts Center. Gifted students are not essential to good artistic programs. Willing students, gifted teachers, and a sup- porting school and community are. Mauldin qualified in all areas.
