Photo by Dustin Lear All work- no play Sometimes in a high school student ' s life difficult decisions concerning his or her future must be made. Junior, Crystal Coffey, who hoped to become a design- ing artist, had to make that choice. Cof- fey had to choose between furthering her talents in Choir and Madrigal at Warsaw High School or to get a head start in training for her planned career. She chose to major in graphic arts at State Fair Community College. Graphic arts was a major that teaches the steps of finishing a graphics product. We were just taught the basics and there was no room for mistakes in this course, stated Coffey. Coffey hoped to become a designing artist for Hallmark or for a major card company. I hope to become an execu- tive in my place of business, and be well respected by my peers, and those who work under me, said Coffey. When asked if she regreted her deci- sion of giving up music at the high school for education at the State Fair, Coffey answered, i did because I love to sing tremendously, but in the long run I did get a head - start in training that will be helpful to me in the future. I mostly missed not being involved in activities like Choir because I enjoy them. I like being with my friends. Going to S.F.C.C. has really made me appreciate Choir and Madrigal. 95

VOCATIONAL Students skip to the Fair - a ride to future successes Each day after second hour of the 1987-88 school year, a small group of Warsaw High School ' s student body skipped classes. While their fellow classmates studied during thrid hour, these students would either take a bus or drive their own vehicles to the State Fair in Sedaiia, Missouri. This State Fair wasn ' t a fair with rides and games but a two-year college with a vocational program. The vocational techn ical students were offered advan- cement in machine tool tech- nology, nursing, agriculture, auto-mehanics, electronics, welding, carpentry, and busi- ness administration. The Stale Fair students had advantages and disadvantages over other students. The advan- tages were that they were able to start their college education for their planned careers. The disadvantages were that they missed out on school day ac- tivities such as pep assemblies. Jerry Crawford, junior at War- saw High School stated, I didn ' t really miss going to the pep as- semblies. I liked State Fair. I learned more. My classes were like having a job. State Fair Community Col- lege ' s vocational program was only offered to high school juniors and Seniors. , ' W JSl 1 f •- M r H r -4 1 . H: ' W Jerry Spry, Junior, works in auto mechanics.

SATELLITE DISH students enjoy library with addition of a satellite Junior, Raymond Baraks, taxes time to neip senior. Mike Higgins recKi tl-ie newspaper Photo by Dustin Lear The Warsaw High School library received a satellite dish from Dockery Satellite, located in the Truman Hills Shopping Center. The satellite dish was being used constantly to recor d educational programs anywhere from a history program about King Aurther to a science program about the life cycle of a zebra. There were many programs recorded for many various classes. Mrs. Gay Lee stated, It is fan- tastic to me that we, here in the middle of Missouri, can be present in the U.S. Capitol or any other place when important happenings are occurring. When the space shuttle blew up, we were there! Also, satellite television provides the oppor- tunity to utilize a wide variety of educational programming, don ' t understand how it all works, but I ' m glad it does. Many students commented on the importance of the satellite. Senior, Lenora Retherford commented with a chuckle, While I ' m escaping from daily pressures, 1 can tune in to my favorite Sesame Street episodes. Junior, Kim Murphy stated, By having the satellite we can get more educational programs for our classes. Many students who slipped into the library to escape the daily jam of the halls, can relax with a good book, watch t.v., or just sit back and enjoy the quiet atmosphere of the library.
