Kids earn more discs The R-9 North seventh graders placed their marks in many areas during the school year. They excelled in such areas as sports, academics, and various other activities. But they believed their biggest accomplishment was their invol- vement in the year long fundraiser to earn money for a new computer lab. It started in December with the kids drawing Santa pictures. In January they held a spell-a-thon. The kids collected pledges and were then given fifty words to spell. They collected money on the basis of how many words they got right. Michael Slavens said, I raised forty-one dollars, while Andrew Meyer had a little less luck and only raised four dollars and thirty cents. But that was okay, because according to the students and teachers, the most memorable part of the fundraiser was the variety show, which was held in February. Several seventh graders par- ticpated by participating in a play about Tom Sawyer Ryan Gronewold said, I was very nervous at first, but after I got started it got easier. Andrew Meyer said, I think we did a really good job considering we had to perform for the whole town. Jackie Harris summed it by saying, At least the practices got us out of spell- ing. The fundraiser ended with a supper in March, an auction in April, in which people from the community donated things, and finally in May they raffled off a gas grill which was donated by Wal- Mart. The students hoped to earn at least ten thousand dollars.

Coping with drugs and suicide Seventh grade was a year of firsts and lasts. Seventh graders were not self-contained, but moved between class rooms for each subject. They still followed basically the same curriculum as the rest of the elementary with the exception that some of them leaft during last hour study hall to pursue extra-cur- ricular activities at the high school, such as sports. These students were at the top of the elementary, but just became aware that they were at the bottom of the picking order at the high school. To help with these new found feelings, Mr. Morrow, the elementary counselor at the south school, met with them as a group once a week. His discussions dealt with problems that the kids could come in contact with in their daily lives. I feel that I learn quite a bit in Mr. •Morrow ' s class. He teaches us things that kids our age should know about. Some of these things are suicide, smok- ing, drugs, and AIDS, said Abby Bell. I think the group discussions with Mr. Morrow help to make us more aware of things to watch out for and avoid. They also give the class a chance to tell the others how they feel, said Bobbie War- ren. Angelia Watkins said, In Mr. Morrow ' s class I feel like I can open up, and trust everyone with how I feel. It ' s a class where I can really let my feelings show. The seventh graders were also in charge of the Bicentennial Constitution celebration. To kick the week off they showed a movie about the writing of the Constitution, then on Friday they watched part of the celebration on telev ision and said the Pledge of Al- legiance. Later in the day they constructed the United States flag out of construction paper with the help of everyone in the school. They also learned a lot about the- government and men such as, Representative Delbert Scott, Mr. Larry Burditt, and Mr. Leiand Burnett came to their school to talk about the role they play in government life. The seventh graders put the icing on the cake by visiting the county government offices and taking a trip to Jefferson City to see the Capitol and Governor ' s mansion.
