The bell rings, and suddenly a cloud of smoke hovers over the main court-yard. Fellow smokers gather vigorously for conversation and a few puffs on their favorite brand. Yes, this year, keeping pace with area schools, Silver Creek had finally consented to set aside an area specifically for smokers. Previously, the des- ignated area for smokers was by the tree near the entrance of the school drive - no small distance from the building.

They have been assigned the main court-yard area. This makes it easier for both the smokers and non-smokers who used to have to bear the smokey restroom conditions. Senior Jeff Taylor said, tths pretty nice. I think that we should keep it cleaned up because they were nice enough to give it to us. Steve Frederick stated, nI think itts better than having them smoke in the restrooms? Sophomore Dorina Dismore answered about the smoking area, HItts better because people dontt get caught smoking in the restrooms: plus, it was too far to walk before. Sr. Angie Gaines commented, HEven though I dontt smoke, I believe itis better than past years when smokers had to leave the building to smoke. h Its better because people dontt get caught smoking in the rest- rooms?

mum, Administration has big discipline crack down State laws force students to get shots or get lost by Roxane French Things detinitely started out with a twist this year. Because of frequent skipping and other rule intractions, the administration decided that in order to Hkeep pacett with area schools, the rules needed a complete overhaul. Last years detention and sentences are this years suspensions, if you acquire 6 days absences from school t3 lates equaling 1 days absencei. Being late meant you were not Hin your seat by the time the bell rings. This year the state required students to get, or finish vaccination series. This was to prevent the spreading of contagious epidemics among young people. Bringing back a doctors excuse after an appointment was also a must this year. Look out below! exclaims Sr. Britt Meland as he bounds over the desk in an attempt to be in his seat before the bell rings. tBelowi Easy does it! squint: Sr. Roxane French as she endures her way through a measle shot at the ottice at Dr. Sturgis. All Indiana students were required shot: this year. Fellow smokers gather for a between- claes-ritual and rap session.

SHAKESPEARE S.C. dramatists produce the master playwritets A Midsummer Nightts Dream with dedicated skill By Kathy Johnson Silver Creek Theatreis fall presentation was William Shakespeareis MIDSUMMER NIGHTS DREAM. The pro- duction was a first of its kind. The play was a first in the sense that the student body had never done Shakespeare before. It presented many barriers, with a variety of solutions. Perhaps the major problem was the antiquated language. This was overcome by using a western motitt as a con- temporary parallel. The , familiar setting helped people relate the dialogue to the plot. Another drawback was the stage, which was in the courtyard. It was the perfect setting, but it limited the show in such areas as lighting, volume, rehearsals, and even show dates. Details had to be omitted because it was an outside production. These problems are a thing of the past, outdated now due to the new audi- torium. Just one more way Silver Creek is keeping pace.
