If the Chattooga High School building could talk, it would
most likely have more good thlng; to say about the school's
members t{mn it would have bad. One of the Tood u&cu of the
school is the efficient faculty staff. Another is the different, in
teresting personalities offered by the wide variety of students.
Also, the ieuildin itself, which is 18 years old, should not go
without commengntion. It is time for our school to be applaud
ed and not Tut down quite so much,
The faculty of Chattooga High is an outstanding staff. Most
of the teachers offer an interestini education on their ;l&e.ciflc
subjects. It is a friendly staff which has much to offer. The ad
ministration staff should also be praised for their efforts in
keeping the school together. Chattooga's educators and ad
ministration do outstanding jobs.
Chattooga High could never become a boring, ordinary, one
track school when it has the wide variety of student per
sonalities that it does today. The students create the at
mospheres in the school by our varying emotions. We students
rodl:we the many different outlooks on schoolwide problems
gecause of our different personalities. The difference among
students allows a greater understanding of school topics.
The 18 year old school building should be honored. It has
withstood vandalism, leaky ceilings, and many other things,
but it is still standing strong, unlike some other newer schotfis.
The custodians, thoughtful students and faculty are behind the
terrific upkeep of the building.
I am sure that the buildinicould speak of some bad parts of
the school, but it would probably prefer to speak good about the
school, since then it could speak longer. Chattooga High offers
great teachers, outstanding students, and a building that we
can trust. Instead of constantly finding faults in our school, we
all need to remember the bright spots.

A BMXer is easily spotted. Maybe it's the calloused hands
or raspberry elbows, or maybe it's the heavily thrashed shoes or
faded oakley T-shirt that give us away. Whatever, we eat, sleep,
live and love BMX. ¢
We are riders, racers, spectators, manufacturers, retailers,
readers, writers, talkers and doers. We are kids, adults and
some interesting combination of the two.
We can be heard muttering words like holeshot, germ, rad
and table top. We combine those things to get totally rad and
ulgr-gnarly.
We are numbered and categorized and come in just about
eve{z shape and size imaginable.
e are nervous novices, seasoned pros, up and comers,
vacant-lot-super-stars, showroom dreamers, struggling
privateers and factory hot shots.
We are parents who spare no expense, kids who give it our
all, fans who whisper rumors, and friends who yell encourage
ment.
We are officials who stick by our guns, riders who stand up
for our brands, and an industry that proudly supports our
sport.
We are weekend warriors who live from week to week resting
only long enough to let our wounds, pocketbooks, prides and
sunburns heal so we can go out and do it all over again. We are
hooked on BMX and frankly we'd rather fight than switch,
because we are BMXers — a unique blend of the modern sports
person who, even in today’s world of clouded priorities and
misplaced ideals, speak knowingly of yeuth, health, family,
fil:pess, competition, achievement, travel and most of all friend
ship.
g‘en years ago, people would have told us we were crazy and
we were. For that matter, we still are and very proud of it.
We are BMXers.
Staff Takes On

When asked how he felt
about being the new editor,
David replied, ‘I am really
looking forward about being
editor. I am going to try to the
best of my ability, to make the
paper better, "ol b
‘David was asked if he had
any changes for the Indian
Lore. His reply was, “I think
that the Indian Lore needs no
changes, as far as deadlines,
grading systems, etc.”
In general, David stated
this about the Indian Lore,
“Indian Lore has been a help
to me as far as helping me
learn to write better.’

the prom ‘‘completely’’ tormai
this year? The question may
arise, “What do you mean
‘completely’?”’ Your attire
may already be formal, but
the inost formal color in men's
afparel is black or midnight
blue. In women’s apparel
there's not a color that's the
most formal. Almost any color
would be formal, but there are
certain touches that you can
add to %ive your attire a reall
formal look. The main toucK
would be to add gloves, either
“bright’’ white, or the color of
your attire.
You may think the colors
black or midnight blue are
plain, but there is one advan
tage of those colors. The fact
that they can be worn with
almost any other color. These
colors would be great to re
introduce at the prom this
year, meaning that since so
many different colors are
made now that the colors
black and midnight blue are
often ‘‘forgotten’’ about.
Whenever you decide on a col
or for your prom attire, con
sider the colors black and mid
night blue. You'll be the most
formal individual there!
