The categories fe humor, serious, prose, poetry, po-acting, oratory, original latory, Lincoln f Douglas debate ld exteporaneous speaking. iIn humor, prose, serious, poetry and duo-acting, the stu- dent is judged on facial expres- sions, voice and character development. The most nerve- racking part of competing is looking across the room at the judge knowing he is recording every mistake you make and he looks like he isn't even paying at- tentionf' continued Mike.

For the third year in row, Mrs. Teresa Soncrant, job specialist, taught Jobs for Arizona Graduates. JAG is designed for seniors who are planning to work after graduation. This year JAG sold Halloween Candy, gift checks, wooden shaven roses and April Fool's grams. The money that was made went towards a statewide conference for all the students in the spring. Arizona has the largest program for JAG and is supported by business people. Unemployment is high so JAG is there to help students prepare themselves for what is ahead in the future.
