et Your Colors Our school is exploding year by year. Blue and Gold Cougars are showing their true colors by partici- pating in spirit week, attending pep sessions, and going to games. The student body is backing the Cou- gars through the thrill of victory and the agony of defeat. This year was a year of changes for Hew Prairie. We were faced with a new principal as well as a new vice-principal, new traditions were started like decorating the halls for Christmas and the Mistletoe Ball. A Student Senate was formed and with their leadership and spirit new Prairie was changed into a school where students were proud to go to and were eager to participate in ac- tivities. new Prairie is proud to let their colors fly. Fans show their enthusiasm by waving the balloons that the cheerleaders passed out for them to pop at the first Mew Prairie basket. The fire hydrant was transformed this year when members of the Cross Country Team painted it for school spirit. The flag girls keep sparkling along with their new uniforms.

Auto mechanic students, junior Dave Kazmierzak and senior Steve Holt, work on the brakes of a car during their auto mechanics class. uture Plans Two fries, fifteen Big Macs, four Quarter Pounders with Cheese, and six chocolate shakes! This is something commonly heard by senior Danielle Coffman who has an after-school job at a fast food restaurant. She plans to attend col- lege next year and is saving her money for it. Junior nick Fickel works at Sauers washing cars. He works to pay for his car. Hick says, I work to pay for my car. I have a car so I can work.” That seems to be a com- mon phrase among the guys at Hew Prairie. To pay for his social activities , junior John Arndt washes dishes and cooks at Mel's Diner in Hew Carlisle. Many of today's teens use the money they make at there jobs on activities outside of school. Having an after school job is be- coming a regular part of every high school student's life. It helps to pay for all the material things that teens seem to need. It also gives us an opportunity to learn about how to get along in the job world. 4 Be True To Your School Future Plans
