Life In The e
Slow Lane ;,
by Lane Hosmer | ’3g Q_
I hate Mondays. Most peo-
Ele hate Mondays, but I really
lgvlena great reason for hating
t — ‘we have Student
Publications class first thing
Monday mornings, and our
weeAkg‘v ass%'nments for IN
DIAN LORE are due then. I've
told you a little bit about the
Student Publications staff
before, but some people still
labor under the misconception
that being a staff member is a
terrific honor, or at least an
easy “A” with a minimum of
work. HAH! We should get
combat pay. Or at least free
psychological exams.
Let me tell you about a
typical Monday morninfi, or a
Manic Monday, as they've
come to be known in Student
Publications. It usually begi;‘ls
with some earlybirds standing
around Mr. Perry’s desk before
the bell rings, telling insanely
stupid jokes or spreadinfg
rumors about other staff
members. If there aren't suffi
cient rumors to spread, then
they make some up. On rare oc
casions, Mr. Perry seems to be
in a Eood mood, despite the
fact that it's Monday and he’'s
almost never in a good mood.
As soon as the bell rings, he
rells. “Shut up!”’ That's usual
as nice as he gets that day.
gn most Mondays, he'll tell
everyone on the INDIAN
LORE staff to turn in their ar
ticles. Following that is a shuf
fle throughout the room as
writers look for articles they
haven't written yet. Some of
the sneakier of us will already
have a hall pass in hand and
will try to unobtrusively slink
through the door on our way to
interview the subject of our
reports for that week.
Take, for example, our
distinguished editor, Mary
White. Almost as soon as Mr.
Perry begins yelling, out the
door she slips. ‘' You mean you |
don’t have your article ready i
et?"’ he'll yell at her, only to |
[‘;e met by a slamming door. Of |
course, we have to overlook |
Mary, since she sta{s so busy |
throughout the week with her |
editorial assignments. (Most of |
you won't get the irony behind |
that last sentence, but believe |
me, it's the funniest thing I've |
ever written)! |
Speaking of the editor’s job,
the editor is supposed to make
assignments, edit all the copy
that comes in, and turn in ar
ticles herself. How well does
Mary do? Well, sometimes she
turns in articles. I think Mr.
Perry made her editor because
her mother is an Enfilish
teacher and he assumed Mary
Frobably understood the
anguage. Bifimist.ake! Idon't
want to put Mary down, main
ly because she might sue me,
but let me tell you what she did
the other day. On one of those
rare occasions when Mr. Perry
was too busy to assign articles,
he put Mary in charge. Mary
us&ned everyone something
to write, including Patti
Hankins, who was i‘ven along
feature story which was sup
posed to take up about a fourth
INDIAN LORE
Stephanie is very active in
the academic honor clubs at
CHS. She is president of the
Science Club and secretary of
the BETA Club. Stephanie was
involved with the Special
Olympics held at CHS earlier
of the paper that week. The
problem was that Mary forget
| to tell Patti she had assigned
‘ her that story, so on Monday
| morning, no one had written
| the feature.
| Not everyone is slow when
it comes to tuming in articles.
Take Tracy Espy, for example.
He's not slow. He just never
turns anything in. David
Doster isn't quite that bad.
He's always just two weeks
late with his articles. Mr. Perry
has learned that if he wants
something written bly(' David,
he as:if'ns it two weeks before
he really needs it.
Rod Ha{es has become an
enigma on the newspe?er staff,
He's our sgort.s itor, of
course, and he always has his
articles ready on time. As a
matter of fact, he always has
about two or three articles Rlus
~ his weekly column ready. And
even more strange, his reports
seldom have to ge edited very
much. Most of m{ columns
have to be translated into
English by Mr. Perry, but
most of Rod's work is printed
exactly as he turns it in. With
the exception of the statistics,
of course. You see, Rod is a
statistics nut. He lives,
breathes and eats statistics.
Walk UP to Rod sometime and
say hello, and you'll get a com
plete set of stats on every
athletic team in the school for
the past five years. Even if you
don't care. And most people
don’t. Rod would like nothing
better than to have half the
gaper to print statistics in. Mr.
erry Fave him some space
during football season, but Rod
came to be like Frankenstein's
monster. Give him an inch, and
he'll take the whole page. So
finally Mr. Perry had to say No
More Statistics.
Rod is a senior this year, so
unless somebody breaks into
the guidance office and trashes
his permanent records, Rod
will graduate this year. I don’t
know what Mr. Perry will do
about sports next year,
because nobody writes a sports
story like Rod. I think Mr.
Perx is going to have Rod's
sneakers bronzed as a memen
to. While Rod’s still in them.
Another newspaper staffer
who's always readg with his
report is Buddy Roberts. Bud
dy is always easfi' to spot dur
ing Student Publications class.
He's the short guy who's dress
ed like he gust stepped out of
Richie's front window. He
wears ties with alligators on
them, He switches from the
Don Johnson look one day to
the Mr. Joe Collefi preppy
look the next. But always
has his article readdsl'. You're
?robably familiar with Buddy's
avorite type of article —the
Crisis.
Each week we sit on the
edge of our seats to see what
‘tihe Crisis of t:.he vrz:‘fik is. Bu(:-
y seems to be a y u )
hupgy guy, but he ml{;'bi.: a
harbinger of doom. He writes
about the perils of teenaigo
mgmncy. smoking and its
to cancer, teen-age suicide,
this year. The BE'I'A Club
helps to sponsor this project
annually.
Stephanie is also a member
of Chattooga’s chapter of Mu
- Alpha Theta. Due to her in
terest in the field of
mathematics, Stephanie plans
to attend Berry College and
major in math. She hopes to
teach accelerated mathematics
courses in a high, school
setting.
Stephanie has already
received an academic scholar
ship to Beg College. She has
also received awards in math,
science and chemistry from the
National Scholastic Achieve
ment Academy and was nam
ed to Who's Who Amonfi
American High Schoo
Students.
Stephanie is an active
member of Subligna Ba?tist
Church. She is director of the
children’'s choir, assistant
pianist, and teaches in Vaca
tion Bible School.
During her freshman,
sophomore and junior years,
Stephanie was a member of the
tennis team. Recently, ixe was
one of the students wlo went
to London during the spring
holidays. She commentecf, “1t
was interesting to see how dif
ferent the people of England
are. We went to see two plays,
and I really enj:ged seeing
them. It was a really good rx
perience.” |
On being named Student of |
the Month, Stephanie stated,
“I am proud that the faculty
committee chose me for this
honor out of so many students.
I am really honored.”

and the hazards of smokeless

him to write something about
the hazards of homework, the
use of deadly force with a gad—
dle, and the dangers of lun
chroom food, but he just won’t
listen.
In addition to the J)roblem
of gettir;f articles done on
time, we also have the problem
of getting photograghs done on
lt)ilme. Actuallyfi we avc}als a J)ro
em getting photographs done
at all.qle'he pr(fi’lem fires with the
g‘hotogl:'aphers themselves.
his elite grougr of evasive
shutterbugs are drawn toward
the darkroom like a possum to
a chickenhouse. What they do
in that darkroom is anybody's
guess, but I can assure you,
they don't do photographic
work. At least once a week Mr.
Perry gets this sad look in his
eyes and mutters, “Why did I
let David Parker graduate?”
Once a week, Mr. Perry
gives the photographers a list
of the photos he needs for that
week's pag:,r. They're due on
Monda’l}:‘.J hen does he get
them? Tuesday at three o'clock
if he's lucky. Sometimes I
think it would be easier to just
draw pictures of people and put
them in instead of
flhotographs. But then, we'd
ave a problem finding so
meone to draw the pictures.
We do have an artist on
staff, by the wag. Actually, we
have two. Rick Cameron is sup
foeed to draw a weekly cartoon
or the paper. You ma{ have
noticed a conspicuous absence
of weekly cartoons lately. Rick
has this problem coming up
with anything funny on his
own. His funniest stuff have
been rip-offs from the Bloom
County strip, and Mr. Penx
won't print plagiarized stuff,
cougle of weeks ago he came up
with something on his own, but
it was about as funny as a flood
in an Alka-Seltzer factory, so it
wasn't printed. |
After everything is turned
in, Mr. Perry has to type the ar
ticles, editing them as he goes.
Then he lays out the gaper on
a dummy sheet to show the
people at The News office
where all the articles are to go.
These tasks alwmut him in
a really terrible , 80 we've
all learned to leave him alone
on Monday and Tuesday. The
problem is that the yearbook
staff hasn't learned that yet.
They're always coming up with
some problem that results in
getting him steamed ur ‘Juat
enougg to threaten to fail us
all. But, that's a story for
another day.

sports Review
by Rod Hayes
The baseball team has drop
ped a bit from that hot streak
they were at last week; as of
this writirif (Mondnm3 they are
at 8-3-1. But hey, before the
season began, I would have
considere(f anything above
.500 to be higK hopes. They
have done much better than
an{)one expected. The reason is
in both hittin% and pitching.
The team ERA 1s 2.97 at
this time. They are hitting a
team .369. Stanley Edmondson
is hitting .500 in 30 times at
bat. Demetrius Lackey also has
a hot bat with a .485 average.
Travis Jones is hitting .404
with a team hiFh 47 at bats.
Brandon Nichols is still play
ing well at .429 as a key bench
player to give Chattooga
depth.
Demetrius Lackey has a
1.24 ERA. Henry Forrester is
doix;g just as well at 1.85.
Stanley Edmondson has pitch
ed a team high 26.2 innings
while still maintaining a 2.36
ERA. His record is the best at
3-0. Travis Jones may have
Cedartown struck back in
the bottom of the third as
several Chattooga errors led to
two Cedartown runs, to cut the
Indians’ lead to 4-2. Then in the
bottom of the fifth inning,
Cedartown's Cory Johnson
blasted a tworrun double off
Stanley Edmondson to tie the
game at 4-4.
In the bottom of the sixth
inning, Cedartown's Payne
si:gled in Ashmore to give
Cedartown its first lead of 5-4.
In the bottom of the seventh
inninfi. Demetrius Lackey hit a
clutch single which drove in
runner John Martin. The game
went into extra innings with a
score tied at 5.
Chattoo?a failed to score in
the top half of the eighth inn
ing. Cedartown then got a run

honorary members this year.
They were veterinarians Dr.

Ernest L. Myers and CHS vice
principal Rodney Allred.
A certificate of a%}[)reciation

no pushover. g
Q'he boys' tennis team is
dominating their opposition.
Jeff Weaver has been awesome
in tennis play this year. His
singles record is 5-1. He is
wracking up some iood scores
against very tough competi
tion. Joe Money has also
played extremely fired-up ten
nis in the number two spot. His
sin%les record is 4-2, and he
could do even better as the
season Ggoes on. A rejuvenated
Steve Giglio has come back to
play fireat tennis his senior
year. His record is an astoun
ding 5-1. He last played during
the 'B4 season and was a ma
jor asset to the subrefii:n title
that year. He sat out his junior
year but has made the com
eback of the season. Steve
Giglio commented on the
team’s early success, ‘‘Chat
tooia can point to its fine
doubles ;l)lay and very consis
tent singles play as the reason
for its success.”
The girls are a very youn
team with much potential ang
should improve steadily. Ellen
Thompson has been the stan
dout so far this season. Other
key members who could turn
this season around from its
slow start are Sherry Dukes,
Kim Windle, andy Becky
Ledbetter. As coach Skipper
Stewart would say, “Sounds
good!”
ner on oft an error. He stole to
second and then to third on a
passed ball. This forced Chat
tooga to load the bases with no
outs. Travis Jones struck out
the next two batters, but a key
siggle by Van Dingler gave
Cedartown the 6-5 victory.
Demetrius Lackey went 3
for 4 with 3 RBIs. The Indians
had only 6 hits in 30 times at
bat, which is far below the
team average. Travis Jones fell
to 2 and 1 as he was credited
with the loss.
