Embarrassed at first to model at the Sherick Memorial Home, junior Mitch I.ovcjoy accepts compliments on the robe he made with a few obstacles. A fter the First Glance, a sec- ond glance proved we always rose above the obstacles. Not known for the best facilities, the red and blue came shining through. The No Pass, No Play rule? No problem for the Peons. Only 62 students total in- volved in all literary events, sports, band and choir were affected the first semester. Neither basketball team lost players in ineligibility. It was the lowest number in The Hub City. The results of the TEAMS, the test required of all juniors to pass before graduation, showed MHS scoring the highest in the city in both math with 94 percent and in language arts with 97 percent.

DOLLAR NITE On T uesday night the com- mon scene was a long line of students outside the movie theaters. Why would so many students flock to the movies on a school night? It was the perfect answer to an economical date: the dollar-night movies. “If I'm paying for it, it might as well be cheap, senior Rhon- da Kimbrell said. Some didn't take advantage of the 'If I'm paying for it, it might as well be cheap — Rhonda Kimbrell, senior cheap entertainment. Most of the dollar- night movies are already old. They don't show any new movies, and I don't see how they stay in business,'' soph- omore Mark Minkley said. “I like renting a movie better than go- ing to the movies, senior David Luce said. It's just as cheap, and you can get newer movies. Besides, it's easier to get cozy with my girlfriend at home than in a theater. Maybe Taco Villa and Showplace Six should have gotten together and offered a package deal. Definitely more dates would Viave taken place. STUDENT LIFE LITTLE THINGS SAY A LOT HAVE A HEART. At the Hidden Hearts party, American History teacher Steve Johnson shows everyone what his secret pay Sammye Knight gave him. Every class period Bill Armstrong received a gift from fellow math teacher Loyce Sparkman. On cheap toy day' senior flag twirler Amy Edwards got a cap gun. A secret pal is someone who gives lit- tle meaningless gifts that brighten your day, sophomore volleyball player Tem- ple Herring said. From band to homemaking to volleyball to the teachers, just about every club and organization went in for secret pals. I liked having a secret pal, Edwards said. It really got us excited for contest. It makes you feel like someone cares about you, and everyone likes getting presents, Nessa Brandon said. The faculty and staff celebrated Valen- tine's Day with Hidden Hearts Week. It's a lot of fun, and it gives the staff a break. It really lifts people up! secretary Jan Douglas, co-organizer with secretary Glo Odom, said. When history teacher Steve Johnson stood up his secret pal, he got a note, I hope you get knots on your landing from secret pal Sammye Knight. Johnson was always home Thursday nights at 9, no matter what. Secret pals brings a unity to the group. It makes everyone feel special, homemaking teacher Joyce Cheatham said. The best present I received from a secret pal was just a note that said, 'I didn't have any money to buy you anything, but I am thinking about you!' To me that was enough because it's the thought that counts, Brandon said. JUST ANOTHER CLASS etention hall be- comes a regular ac- tivity to some, and they don't seem to mind. They think it's cool to have three weeks of detention piled up, first year algebra teacher Tanya Thomasson said. The ritual of detention played a big part in many students' day. It's just like going to another class, 1 don't feel like it's punish- ment,'' senior Ja- mie Wehde said. Many seniors felt the system was unfair because they had to come back to school at 3:30 for detention when they got out at 2:30. Although the current discipline system hasn't corrected all students at fault, maybe with time, students will learn you real- ly pay in the end for tardiness, Thomasson said. Tardies were directly attached to grades last year with the stu- dent working with the teacher to erase zeroes. When the tar- dy policy became a problem students had to work it out with admin- istrators.and detention hall atten- dance in- creased.
