ACADEM IC dds 8!. donlts You have been told over and over again that the keys to success are through making good grades in school and then furthering your education in college. Success ap- peals to everyone. Driving up in a red Mercedes convertible at the ten year reunion would be a part of suc- cess, but before the keys to the Mer- cedes come your way, you must learn the keys to success. If it is true, and the keys to success lie behind the academics, the following pages will prove priceless on ACA- Division DEMIC DO'S AND DON'TS. Everyone has heard of the oldies but goodies: get your homework in on time, don't be late for class, sit at the front of the room, etc. However, an in depth look has been taken on how certain areas affect students academically, in these free but priceless pages. Take in consider- ation that not only will you benefit from this exclusive edition, but the keys to a new Mercedes or BMW could be waiting around the corner.

The . Best Of The Best 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8 UIL makes me feel like I've ac- complished something even it I don't win. Fresh. Iuli Bengtson. 'I think we did fantastic! I've been here for eleven years and we blew their socks off! Business teacher Deborah Nance Ill tried out for UIL because it's challenging and I enjoy the one- act play competition. Sr. Marla Wise HWe should be proud that we did so well in UIL because it proves that we have students who are se- rious about school. Ir. Dawn McMahan My first year we got third in UIL, last year we got second and this year, of course, we won first. Principal Don Lighttoot I was shocked when I found out that I got second in Regionals, but then I got excited about going to Austin. Sr. Lara Allen UIL is fun because you get to- gether with your friends and have fun competingX, Sr. Holly Owen UIL prose was a lot of hard work but it paid off in the end, because I won fourth in Regionals and got to go to State. Sr. I ustin Buckner . . . And Those In Between It wasn't all fame and glory for this years UIL competitors. They may have placed first in Dis- trict, but not without a lot of hard work and dedica- tion from everyone. Sr. Brandt Wright said, 'lSure, I qualified for State, but not without working for it. I had to be at school every morning to practice with Mrs. Bonner. The hard work paid off for those lucky enough to place in the top three at District and qualify for Regionals; but for the ones who put forth the same effort but didn't win, it almost seemed like a waste of all their time and effort. Sr. Shelly Morgan said, I was up- set, but not devestated. It was a lot of hard work to be disqualified, especial- ly since I might have placed and gone to Re- gionals. Sr. Iodi Renne said, uIt was disappointing to not place in UIL science, es- pecially since I went to all of the practice meets and studied at lunch with Miss Ripley. Maybe it's true that winning isn't everything, but it's a heck of a lot better than losing. 'Academics
