suppose that academics is we? We never actually make a ® connection between our lives and academics. But there is a connec- tion. Our academic standing shows a part of ourselves — which § most of us would rather leave un- known. But it is undoubtedly a part of us. Big deal. In the following pages, there is a side of academics we don’t hear too much about — or hear enough about. There’s photogra- phy, where the students of that class have certainly attempted to the real part of school. But i most of us hate it, don't @ m express their own identities through self-portraits. And Peer § Facilitators, composed of students | mm who have helped other students | f discover their own selves by listen- } ee ing to their problems and acting as a sort of “sounding board” from which ideas could be bounced off | of. Our school also had a great me number of academic achieve- ments including the highest num- § ber of award winners in the county fi in the Young Author's Contest. ji fm Winner's included Mike Steger, @ Dale Tucker, Sandy Adkins, Shone § Dickerson, and Lori Lohr. Also the Hard work, cre-} ativity, and deter- mination were what it took to} achieve aca- demic success. Write Now Contest with winners Monica Hudgins, Jen Lofquist, and Dawn Rebuen. And we can’t forget the Work Program and the students at the Tech Student Center, who are true in pursuing their job skills and technical skill application. So even if you hate academics — and even | pretty much do — Ri look through the next few pages. @ Our school has had many achievements and accomplish- ments in academics and there are a lot of people finding their own § true identity and helping others to do the same through academics.
