We have not at tem pted to update the sports stories because ~ of finals. sat through 17 hou r s of lectures and films pertaining to the un healthy use of drugs and alcohol. Joined by approximately 30 students from other area schools including Kennedy, Mission, Irv ington, and Robertson High they were in st r ucted by Mr. John Hewett from Maryland. As a teacher, Hewett was able to bring to life Reach America's goals and achievements with crazy antics and his outlandish personal ity. On the final day of training the students passed a 125 question exam, following which they were instructed on making successful presentations to ele mentary students. This spring students ,will start speaking to local elementary sch 001 cI asses. bility to read the script are just a few of the things Mr. Burk hart says he'll be looking for in the try outs. "Dedicated, will ing to take construc tive criticism, and able to work with other people is the kind of person I want to come to try-outs," said Mr. Burkhart. There are som e non-performing posi tions too. The drama department needs peo ple who would be int er ested in lighting, sound effects, set building, ush e ring, and public relations.

The school will pay for all textbooks burned in the fi re but per sonal belongings are the responsibility of the students. In fV'\emory Of... Long time Washing ton math teacher Ms. Betsy Bracy died Dec. 25 after a long bat tle with cancer. Ms. Bracy began teaching at Washington in 1961 after returning from teaching in Ven ezuela for three years. Her fi rst year here she t au ght Spanish, but the rest of the time she was in the math department. Ms. B racy was instrumental in bring ing the saxon Math seri -es to WHS. "It was pri mariiy through her efforts that we , have it, " stated Mr. Owen (cont. on · page 2) Page 2 January 23, .1 987 . , ~ :.e-IDlrORI~t>, .. -... ...... . -:: - --:. - . Hatchetman Asks: . Ki n9's Dream Sti II Distant By Fred Nisewanger --- Monday was a federal holiday honoring Civil Rights leader Martin Luther I<:ing Jr. _Amid all the celebration and pizzaz we should ask ourselves a single, simple question: How close are we to his dream? It's not an easy question. Dr. King wCiS a strong man and he had a very intense vis ion of racial unity and freedom from preju dice. For that dream he was shot down in the name of white racial purity. His tomb stone reads: "Free at last, thank God, I'm free at last." Perhaps this is a poignant com ment that if we don't abandon petty pre judices our only freedom will be through death. I wonder. What? You say that there's no more pre judice? True, minorities are having an easier time finding employment and now may vote and there has been little opposition to integration in the schools for a full 20 years. Even so, we can look at South A fri ca and say, not yet. Or the outcastes of India. Or the Muslims and Jews in the Soviet Union. Racism is alive in the world and it drains all of us by its presence. But those are all foreign countries? Look to our homeland. Read some of the "lovely" graffitti on the w all. G l an ce t hr ou gh (Tle of those "sick j oke " bo oks. Or visi t th e sl um s and ghettos that haven't disappeared, .but in stead have been forgotten. They are sti II there. What about the minorities of Arabs and Indians that are now attracting our scorn instead of blacks and hispanics? What about our "Rambo" mentality concerning non european countries? Prejudice is alive and well in America. Of course there are advances. Things like the Bill Cosby Show and Amnesty Inter national. Little things. The very fact that we celebrate Dr. King's birthday speaks out for us. We are moving forward and we wi II continue to move forward. . . as long as we don't forget.

By ,.c\lecia Spehar Have your friends been aski ng you to borrow an "extra (ha ha) dime". This is probabl y due to the recent 10 cent increase for sodas at the coke machines. I was shocked to stick my 50 cents in the machine and even after punching and kicking, nothing would come out. I looked up at the coin release button and noticed a big black and white sticker ma rked "60¢"! After searchi ng all 5 pockets of my 501's and asking three people in the hall for an "extra dime" (which no one had), I got my money back and left the machines up set by this inflation. Luckily it had not been a hot day with 22 other people in line behi nd me be cause I'm sure rage would have struck the campus immedi ately! I ended u~ standing in front 0f Athletic Director Gil Lemmon. 'vVhe.n askFld why he co:':e ma raised t!",~ d,ine prices, he re "inflation. " plied, th~t two It seems years ago, the Cocaraised Co', a company their prices to ap proximately 27 cents per can, so Mr. Lemmon arbitrarily decided it was time to raise the price for students. ThE- money from the student coke machines is given to the athletic depart ment. Since the price increase, that means approximately 33 cents per can in profit. Mr. Lemmon is pre dicting a profit of around ' $22,500. Head custodian, Chris GarCia, said he must load the ma ,chines at least once a day during winter and 3 -4 times each day during the hot months. He orders soda from the coca cola company about 6 times a year with a delivery during cold months of 600-700 cases each time and sometimes up to 900 cases dur i ng warm months, which means we consume at Ieast 4,200 cases of coke per year. As far as soda wars go, coke is best selling, sprite takes a second, diet coke, rootbeer and orange tie for third ~Iace and hi-C and red creme soda are in last.

He likes the relaxed atmo sphere and being able to use a Iittl e of his own creativity. "You shouldn't take this class if you just want to ki ck back and do nothing; it's fun, but you've got to put the work into it." Kim also thinks the class is fun and interesting but adds one word of caution, "Procrastination can be a problem if you're not careful." It is important to budget your time carefully and not misuse the freedom. Two of the projects are al ready on display and ready for use by students. One is an optical proj ect in the I ibrary and the other, a force of gravity demonstration in the hall of the science offices. Students are urged to try them out.Keep a watch for th e two other proj ects that will be put up soon. If this class appeals to you, talk to your counselor, Mr. Mil ler or Mr. WallaCh. S.A.D.D.

By Steve Emprson On Dec. 17, 1986 the FUSD School board acc epted the new GPA requi rement for extra curricular activities in order to "encourage students to strive for academic excellence." The state mandated policy goes into effect at the end of the fi rst semester. A student who desi res to participate in an extra-curricular activity or athletics must maintain a 2.0 grade point average. An extra-curricular activity is any activity supervis ed or financed by the district, or that includes both preperation andpre formance befor an audi ence or spectators.
