Not Just Another Statistic E lc Swafford People Editor Why study? What could possibly be the purpose for studying? Karen Shu- maker could answer that question. It feels really good to obtain something you have worked so long for. It makes those late nights and stolen weekends seem worthwhile, Karen said. All the students in the top ten percent of the 1988 graduating class could give a good reason why studying is important. One reward for them is being in the top ten per- cent because it has many advantages. It's an honor because I worked so hard for it, Kim Williams said. Studying helps you un- derstand the material, make good grades, and might just land you in the top ten percent. lt makes all the consis- tent work pay off and hopefully it will pay off in more ways than one! Shannon Warner said. It is a great honor to be in the top ten percent e - ev,-we Karen Shumaker Caroline Breashears Lisa Berry Kim Williams Tara Givens Tamera Gentry because it shows some of the students who have worked hard in their class- es studying and learning. 'Considering that I was so close to being on the stage, it makes me want to go back and study just a lit- tle bit harder to make my rank higher, Kristi Kyzer said. The rewards for studying and making the top ten percent are nu- merous. It looks good to colleges, it helps win scho- larships, and the highest nine graduate on stage. It means everything! It means I can get that big scholarship and I'm rep- resenting the minority, Sheilaine Moses said. Being in the top ten percent is just one of the many rewards students can receive, but this re- ward is a little more spe- cial because they've earned it and it's a pleas- ant surprise for some. I'm really excited about it because I wasn't expecting it at all. It's just a real thrill, jessica Roenne said.

Hall of Fame 'l'l Rusty Pifer: Rusty is one of the few students that l have who insists upon learning. That's why I still teach. If I didn't have one of those ev- ery now and then l'd go sell insurance, -Coach Runyan. Karen Shumaker: When I think of Karen, I think of a very rare quality among teen- agers: she is altruistic, she gives of herself for other peo- ple. She's a very determined young lady, she's very thoughtful and a fine repre- sentative of what's excellence in a young person from Mills, -Mrs. Whitfield. lason Welch: jason has been involved in football and base- ball and he's one of our out- standing students here at Mills, -Coach Parks.
