Performing for an audience was a theatre arts requirement for junior Heather Hinds. This was her first year in the class. Working with chemicals was an everyday part of junior Albert Oyerly’s life in Mr. Foster’s chemistry class. Small school has advantages Students like it People are what make school more than just books, home- work, and classes. There were a small number of students and this made the school small. There are advan- tages to small schools though. Julie Smith stated, “I like the small school because of the fact that you get to know eve- ryone, but a disadvantage is that everyone knows you and everything you do.” Another advantage seen by Lori Benitz was if there were fewer students, the more time the teachers would have to work with students who have questions. Being a small school provides one with a lot of special friends, but then it also could develop enmity, with everyone knowing everything about eve- ryone else. Every person in the school had different ideas about an ideal friend, but Kim Wiedmer de- scribed a perfect friend as be- ing someone who is caring, honest, listens to all your prob- lems, and wants to go out and have a good time. According to her, Amy Weber had all these qualities. Along with “special friends,” there were also even more spe- cial friends, or boy friends and girlfriends. There were several couples seen holding hands as they walked down the hall. Being a small school has dis- advantages, but more advan- tages are seen by most of the students. Photography by Gary Huff
