Gotta lake A Break Everyone in the school counts the sec- onds until 12:35, when the glorious sound of the break bell cracks the mono- tony of brain-draining classes and the chaos of the lunchroom. At last, it’s here! Break! Those precious fifteen minutes between fourth and fifth periods when both faculty and students get a break to help them survive the last two classes. Students can be found in the halls, on the front steps, or just sitting in the grass, while they do homework, soak up sun, or socialize with friends. The faculty also takes advantage of break by talking with students and catching up on paperwork. “If it weren’t for break, I would die by the time sixth period got here! It really helps out a lot,” says Laura McCol- lough. Although MHSers thoroughly enjoy break, many do not realize how lucky they are to have it. Montevallo is the only high school in Shelby county— not to mention the area—that has a “break” every day. One teacher com- ments, “Montevallo is the only school I’ve ever taught at that has a break and I think it’s wonderful!” Richard Brown, Joyce Smith, and Jamie Rob- erts spend their breaktime reviewing before an upcoming test. Margaret Hahn and Alisa MacPherson relieve the tensions of the day as they joke around during break.

On Labor Day Weekend The Work Pays Off The Troubadors’ 2nd annual rodeo and Sth annual horseshow were held September 5-7 in order to raise mon- ey for the band boosters. A parade down Main Street featuring the Troubadors took place the morning of the rodeo. The rest of the day students hung around Orr Park during the two rodeo performance times. Band mem- bers helped by hawking and yelling “Popcorn!! Pepsi!!” or by working in the concession stand. Betsy Weese concentrates on playing the music while keeping a straight line in the : 4 parade At the annual rodeo, freshmen Robyn Law- ley and Alisa MacPherson “hawk” popcorn to the onlooking people of the event During the playing of the National Anthem a local cowgirl displays the American Flag.
