Kip and Misty earned trophies Sharon jones, junior, became interested in dog showing after seeing her first dog show about five years ago. Shortly thereafter, Sharon bought a dog of her own, hoping that she too would be able to show dogs someday. She and her new dog took classes where she learned how to train him and teach him commands. After seeing Sharon's patience and ability to communicate with the dog, her instructor encour- aged Sharon to make a hobby of showing dogs. After school, Sharon trains her dogs for twenty minutes three or four times a week. During the summer she trains them everyday and shows the dogs in surround- ing states on weekends. If she had it her way, Sharon would spend most of her time with the dogs and so plans to make Veteri- nary work her profession. Presently, she owns two dogs, Kip and Misty, both of whom are Shetland Sheepdogs. Kip, who is five years old, receives most of his awards in the obedience part of the show while Misty does well in both obedience and con- formation. Conformation is based on beauty, bone structure, teeth, coat, and movement. So far, the dogs have won trophies, ribbons, silver plates, and even money. Sharon has invested over five hundred dollars in her dogs but estimates they are worth between S5600 and 5700. The dogs, she says, are intelligent but sensitive and require a lot of attention. Sharon feels that the enjoyment she receives from the dogs is well worth the time and money she has invested. 1. Kip und Misty pose beside their awards and trophies. 2.

One of the major responsibilities of the new and returning students was the Iu- nior-Senior Prom. Class officers Alecia Deville, Karen Davis, Dona Maddox, and Vanessa Prather led the junior class in the planning of money-making ac- tivities for the prom. During the Summer, the junior class was full of ideas and began early prepara- tion by having a car wash. Also included in their money-making projects were two skating parties, one held in june and one in No- vember. During the year the class took, an occasional break from their duties to share in extracurricular activities' with the rest of the school. Assemblies, sports events, various club parties, and King Louie Night were only a few of the many events that the majority of juniors shared and enjoyed with the rest of the students.
