Winning first place at the 7th grade Halloween party is Kenny Walker. Smoke Signals takes 1st place; Honor Society supplies fun While most students spend home- room finishing assignments and at- tending club meetings, the SMOKE SIGNALS staff could be found com- pleting stories and assignments. The newspaper contains movie reviews, sports, club activities, and many in- teresting stories. Getting the newspa- per ready to be published wasn ' t an easy job. First time staffers got through rough spots with help from adviser, Mrs. Elaine Nelson, and co- editors. Heather Browning and Susie Chappel. SMOKE SIGNALS received first place at Ball State in the junior high division for the fifth consecutive year and a first place rating from Colum- bia Scholastic Press Association and National Scholastic Press Associ- ation. Staffers attended summer workshops as well as a one-day ses- sion at Ball State. Having fun and talking about sub- jects that interested the members were all part of Excellence Club. Sponsored by Ms. Linda Sannita, dis- cussion topics included what people should and shouldn ' t do in different situations. In addition, these students have the opportunity to attend extra classes at the high school ranging from computers to photography. In addition, the Honor Society sponsored social events for students. Some of these events included the 7th grade Halloween party, the 8th grade athletic party, and the freshman dance. Besides sponsoring activities, members tutor students during home- room, organize Dress-Up Day, and conduct the 7th grade orientation day. Before the opening session, Kim Turk and Tra- cy Dowler review their scheduled classes at Ball State workshops. Working on layouts are members of the SMOKE SIGNALS staff — Tracy Dowler, Michelle Watts, YuChong Miller, and Shan- non rerbrache. 54 Excellence, Honor Society, Smoke Signals

Singing Christmas carols on Monument Circle are Choralaire members — Ed Montgomery, Kami Weaver, Chris Arnold, Missy McNeely, and Artie Stockburger. Realizing school could be more than textbooks and term papers, the staff sponsored a wide variety of activities. While some students chose only one special interest, there were others who chose to be in more than one activity. New clubs such as Weight Watchers and Excellence gave students an even wider selection. The activity bus enabled many students to join in after-school meetings. Even with contrasting interests, we were found crossing the lines as one. ACTIYITIIES Activities Division 5. '
