just swinging around seems to be our favorite thing to do at lunch- time as junior jerry Keeton shows as he hangs upside down trying to make someone laugh. junior Brad Connelly and math teacher Mr. Roberts try to knock each other off of the beam at the pillow fighting booth during the Halloween Carnival. TOP OP THE LI TOP THOUGHTS . . . Read the next para- graph please. A shock of horror runs through you as you realize that the teacher was calling on YOU! You feel your face begin to turn red as the whole class starts to laugh because you have no idea what page the class is on, much less the paragraph! At times, it is easy to drift off into left field during class. Especially when that special some- one spoke to you in the hall, or when Friday's plans have been changed. Some teachers don't seem to realize that the big game to- night has edged out Shakespeare or the 28 STUDENT LIFE study of some foreign creature. Even next per- iod's English test could steal your concentration from the Math equation Mr. Roberts has just put on the board. Thinking about what you'll be talking about on the phone to your latest love is also very common for a distraction. Everyone has their own reasons for drifting off into left field dur- ing class. My biggest distraction during class is wanting to get home and talk to Brent. It seems like the last two hours of school go on forever, says Junior Michelle Smiley. Senior 3 .iii Jeania Trusty also states that, I like to think about going home and calling all my friends when I'm supposed to be doing my Econom- ics, while Junior Jef- frey Brummett adds, Trying to get all my as- signments in on time so I can have a social life sometimes is impossible because I'm always thinking of my social life. Classes are boring sometimes, it's true, even to the best of us. It's not anyones fault. It's just that all of us, at one time or another, has been caught out in left field. Oh, Miss Rounsavilleln Annual Staffers Jennifer Brock, jeffrey Brummett, leania Trusty, Kristy Butler, Michelle Smiley, Diane Lake and Lana Glasscock try to stiffle the giggles as they take a tour of the new school.

ToP or THIS L1 I-IEADLINERS . . are events that make your head spin and your mind wan- der. At first thought, you might have felt that this school year passed from 8:00 A.M. to 3:13 P.M. without any exciting events occuring. While it is true that nothing literally headspinning has happened, there have been a few headline events that have taken place. There were those memories that the Beta Club members remembered from their hectic weekend cam- paigning to get Jeffrey Brum- mett elected as the next State Beta Vice-President. Although jeffrey didn't win, the thoughts going back to that weekend are something else. Even through the hard work, there still was time for fun. The funn ranged from order- ing-in pizza to dancing on the roof top to several tapes of journey. And, if those memories wer- en't enough to bring a smile to someones faceg everyone can remember tuning into Chan- nel 8 to catch a glimpse of Moonlighting stars Maddie Hayes and David Addison duke it out. Coming back to school on Wednesday and dis- cussing the latest episode can be heard throughout the halls. There were also academic endeavores that captured our attention as well. Who can for- get the unforgettable dress re- hearsal the cast for the Ull. one-act play performed just before going to District? The reactions from everyone when they heard that the play The Crucible had won first place at District were headlines as well. Minor headlines that caught a few of us happened every- day. With all of the students in Mr. Roberts room, some classes had the privilege of wearing headphones during class so he could work with those who needed help. An- other minor headline included everyone big or small. That was having two lockers. What can you fit into both lockers? Needless to say, it really didn't matter if something was in them or not, just the idea of having two lockers thrilled us all. Yes, it's true, little things like these can become big headliners in the future. Head- liners make up everyone's day. With all of these things going on, it's hard to imagine the school day being boring!
