No. After a rather hesitant and disap- pointed pause, Freshman Becky Capron revealed the truth behind all the rumors that plagued her for weeks. It was all made up, she said. Every- one started talkin' about me because I wore black one day and some wrist- bands I made. I made the wristbands because a friend of mine did? So for a month Becky played cha- rade with her fellow students leading them to believe she was a witch. At V -5, ' - ...,, , ..'4 ze. Y- YE: rf! .. , I i . 3 F '- wrong way? first I liked it. And then after a while, I started thinking that everyone at this school was sick for really thinking. I was a witch. What fools! she said. If she thought everyone was sick and foolish then why didn't she stop the joke after a few days? Well I thought, why not enjoy it? This is what they want. Theywant something to look at and gossip about, so I gave it to 'em. She mused, There musta been about 2000 people at this school who thought about me at least once a day.

I knew what they were thinkin - there's the witch,-, there's the witch, she said. p The truth is that Becky's extracurri- cular activity is not devil worshipping, but rather art worshipping. Her sketches and sculptures fill up her room. She enjoys sketching pictures of her favorite rock group, Black Sabbath, andlalso different kinds of animals. Her sculptures include Nadia Com- enche and a manger scene for her mother. g Her parents are enthusiastic support- ers of her lucrative hobby. We have a normal and talented daughter whose work is so professional that she's in the business, said Mr. Banfield Capron who is an engineer. Becky's mother is a Bible teacher of the Presbyterian faith. Becky says that she doesn't care about her famous reputation. She feels that it might help her business. - 30 4 f- Shelley Srolaroff SO CALLED OCCULTIST Becky Capron plays the roleof witch that she endured for three weeks.

An academic program was created to prepare us for college,jobs, and careers. Memorial's main goal was to expect the most from her students. It set up programs equivalent to college courses. A class for seniors was organized which was a combination of English and Govern- ment called CLEP. There were three categories of courses included in the curriculum to expand the students educa- tion: hard working classes, experimental classes and fun classes. The faculty felt it was their responsibility to give the students the best so they could outshine others and succeed in their goals. Most worked the stu- dents hard and made an A something to be proud of. Lots of nights were spent studying and many a weekend ended with homework. Academics was important because Memorial was in the process of molding students who had a lot to live up to.
