no ub titute for qualit A sub! Let's switch names. You be John and I'll be Mary, okay? This type of statement could be heard in elementary schools all over the country, but by high school, most students had given up playing pranks on substitute teachers. A sub usually caused one of two feelings: great joy or disap- pointment. Some students didn't like substitutes because they usually meant busywork and were not able to explain the material in the way the students were used to. Sr. Chris Trombly said, I think having subs takes away from your class. They always teach differently? However, there was one substitute who most students did not mind seeing walk into their classroom--Mr. Delmer Kinnett. Also known as the Candyman, Mr. Kinnett was known for handing out candy to all the students in the class Also, if a girl was wearing a dress or a guy was wearing a tie, or if anyone was left- handed, Mr. Kinnett would give him or her a pack of gum. Mr. Kinnett said, Sub- stituting is my hobby. I enjoy kids and being in the education game, especially at Overland. Another intesresting sub was Mr. Michael Beard, an actor who has appeared in several commercials. He brought in tapes of some of his commercials to show one class and sometimes he walked on his hands. Even though some substitutes took away from a class, most provided an unusual change of pace from regular class work. --Beth Schinn he Candy Man can! Ir.

Dream Cars For transporta- tion, independence, and freedom, a car was a student's best controversial safety straps Don't be a dummie, buckle up! The new seat belt law, passed in July, required use of seatbelts for all frontseat passengers. It was a secon- dary offense and violators friend. Though most were satisfied with a vehicle that ran, others had vi- sions of owning a dream car-the kind only seen in Miami Vice. In the following graph, students listed their dream cars--the cars in which they would most like to arrive in the student parking lot. were fined ten dollars. The law was passed to ensure safety among drivers, however, it aroused mixed feelings with students. Some felt the new law deprived people of their freedom of choice. I feel a person has the right to decide if they want to wear a seatbelt. It should not be forced upon them, said Jr. Elizabeth Rich. However, others felt it prevented injuries and saved lives. This law will help encourage people to use their seatbelts and help cut down on injuries in car accidents, said Jr. Mindy Moyer. Whether it was taken seriously or not, the law was made for safety. And if the drivers' education movies didn't persuade drivers to use seatbelts, the law did. --Ken and Mim as efore starting his car, Jr. Bill Evert buckles up for safety. Many students took this safety measure to prevent breaking the new seatbelt law as well as their necks. reach out and touch . Porsche 2492!

The faculty and staff acted as many parts, feeding the blood, cleaning the metaphorical bacteria, and keeping the machine running smoothly. But none of this was possibleif it weren't for the nerve center, the administration. The administrators consisted of principal Joseph Adamo and assistant princi- pals Buel Robinson, Mar- lene Grueber, and LaFese Quinnonez. Quinnonez left her position in January. The district gave power to the principal to operate somewhat independently from the district ofhce and superintendent, especially in areas of personnel. Public relations was the principals primary responsi- biltiy, although actions of the staff and student body spoke for the school. ---Matt Jones O 11's a tough job but someone has to do it!
