Excused Absences Make Hard Work Pay Ofj Even though keeping up grades was tough, the trips and getting out of school made the work pay off. The first of these was a trip to the Kindergarten to help carve pumpkins. They even entertained the kids during snack. In the place of M M guess they had the softball throw at the Fall Carnival. The most interesting trip was to Beta District meeting at Chipola junior College. They stopped at Hardee's in Chat- tahoochee for a mid-morning snack before a long ride to Marianna. After missing the turn, they finally made it to Chipola where they listened to speaker. Dr. Beverly Helms. jeff Bedenbaugh and Jamey Worrell participated in the an- nual spelling bee. After eating at Wendy's, they headed for home. The trip had basically been uneventful, but on the way home they had to pull off Highway 90 for Gil Chason to make a “pit stop”. He made good use of a hollow tree stump in the woods. “Miss” Beverly was embarassed to say the least. The Junior Beta Club had a new sponsor, Mrs. Cheryl Smith. Her suggestion to have refreshments after induction was one that members thor- oughly enjoyed. The trips, projects, and laughs shared by all members made it very clear that all work and no play makes for a boring time. Boredom never entered the picture. umor Beta Club: Front ro»v: .Angus Hinson. Drake-Secrelury. Mary Brvunt Min son. Beth lake VunLumfingham. Amy Adams. Phebe McCoivn. and Laura Carnes-Vice President.

From Catch Up, To Get Ahead Some students stopped their learning and studying at 2:35, but the Brain Brawl team crammed knowledge after school and at lunch preparing for competition. They went first to FSU. Here, they lost to two teams and de- feated six. However, they didn’t make the final four. The team traveled to Perry for the third annual Big-Bend High School Bowl sponsored by the Tallahassee Democrat. Here, they got off to a bad start because the team was “not in focus.” As a result, they came in 13th out of twenty-four teams. The team didn’t come away empty handed because Ben Lindquist learned the art of aggression from Maclay’s “be first to buzz in after the question is read” strategy. Af- ter lunch the team took a trip to Wal-Mart. While separated from their sponsor, Mrs. Gregory, Bry- an Ramos took Hugh Van- Landingham for a ride in a shopping cart. Hugh, armed with a frying pan, blanket, horn, and sunglasses, rode all over the store beeping at cus- tomers. The rest of the team, not wanting to be left out of the fun, threw little red balls at each other. A great way to un- wind after a long day of an- swering toss-ups and bonus questions. Their chance to redeem themselves came at the Beta Club District Meeting with The Beta Bowl. Here, they were determined to win, and Ben Lindquist used his new strategy, “buzz before you think.” Ironically, new mem- ber, Jamey Worrell, wanted to “lose the first round, so we can go eat lunch.” After being in a tie with the other team, Ben Lindquist answered the last question, “What was the Har- lem Globetrotter’s theme song?” correctly. The team left for lunch humming the win- ning tune, “Sweet Georgia Brown.” Wendy’s was quite surprised when the van pulled up at the Drive-Thru window. As a result of winning, the team got a chance to travel to Orlando and visit Disney World. Preparation included watching Humanities films and reading books. The Junior Brain Brawl team fared well against the Senior team in their practice round in front of the school. The members put forth the extra time and energy it took to be on the Brain Brawl team. Winning at the District meet- ing made all the cramming, reading and practicing worth it. Jeff Bedenbough and Scott Melvin rack Exhausted and disgusted.
