It ' s Showtime Having a special talent is one thing, but being able to display that talent in front of the entire school is another. It takes guts to do something in front of all your friends. To have all of the pressure and worries that you might make a mistake can really make somebody think twice before appearing live in front of an audi- ence. I wasn ' t really nervous to dance in front of every- one because I have been in dance school for many years, Kelli Riggle said. The Poteet choir spon- sored the talent show on May 18 in the school gym. Each of the contestants were selected by mem- bers of the choir and PHS teachers two weeks be- fore the show opened. Talent came from many different areas. Singers, dancers and bands played to entertain parents and students. The talent show was a great way to get everyone together, and an exciting way to end the school year with families and friends. (Ericka Wells) The choir sings Whitney Hous- ton ' s hit I Want to Dance With Somebody. The group spon- sored the talent show. l nether performer of the show, Reggie Jackson dances for the audience. Reggie did a lip-sync to the popular song Rescue Me, by Al B. Sure! t ust having a good time is what it ' s all about. Hal Samples dis- played this attitude during his guitar strumming and singing of Grandma ' s Song as h( clapped and encouraged audi ence participation.

Office worker Brian Orr fielps by doing clerical work for the counselors and registrar. Filing and organizing materials was his main duty. Computerized book checkout really saves time for Susan Fer- rell. A daily printout of overdue books saved library Workers on the run Running errands during class was an important job for the office and li- brary workers. During each class peri- od the office workers would get messages to students and teachers while taking up absentee slips from each door. During third period, the library workers would be busy passing out past due notices for fourth period. They also had to stack and shelve books and keep library materials or- ganized. It has helped me in fac- ing responsibility because every day I usually am re- sponsible for putting out newspapers and checking in books at the first of the period, David Pope said. Office workers were mainly supervised by As- sistant Principal Nancy Gray, recording all the at- tendance records for the school. However, the workers were always handy to help out the school secretaries or a teacher. To show appreciation, in fact, homemaking teacher Ann Mays treated the fourth period workers to lunch off-campus at the end of school. They were always helping me carry in gro- ceries and were so help- ful, Mays said. Still other workers were assigned to the counsel- ors and registrar, helping them in retrieving stu- dents, filing and recording information. But, whoever they worked for, they were al- ways on the run. fCarhy DeBoo)
