Presents Unknown
Talents At Show
By Tim McKeown
Prior to the Spring Break
vacation, WHS had the op-
portunity of displaying some
of its most talented members
in the first annual National
Honor Society Talent Show.
Overall, both assemblies
proved to be a sucess.
However, the show presented
on the preceeding night was
another story. It was the kind
of performance Irwin Allen
could base a great disaster
movie on. It was a per-
formance on which Murphy
could base his law of
"anything that can go wrong,
probably will.”
For starters, no show could
possibly go wrong by starting
with a good dance number or
so we thought. Curtian opens
with Laura Owens and Inez
Smith ready to get the show on
the road with a good rock-
danCe routine. Ten seconds go
by; no music. Twenty
seconds; Steve Kreipe,
master of ceremonies, rushes
backstage to find the sound
system messed up, and by the
time the curtians had closed
on the still poised Inez and
Laura, half-a-minute of
deathly silence had gone by.
Finally, the sound dif-
ficulties were worked out in
time for Laura Dunn’s
"dance”-skit. In fact, the
sound system worked so well,
it quite nearly deafened the
audience and sent several out
of the auditorium from the
thunderous roar of the ceiling
speakers.
And there were a few other
minor faults with Thursday
night’s presentation; yet, they
were overshadowed by the
talented students who
generously stepped foward to
entertain in the hour-long
show.
If the NHS had it to do all
over again, would they do it
again? According to Mrs. Ann
Pridemore,the answer is up to
next year’s NHS members:
“If the students are willing to
do it, I am too.”

Real Meaning Of Easter
By Debbie Nettles
At Easter season, people
tend to forget the real
meaning that goes along with
new spring clothes, and
Easter-egg hunts.
Many people go to church on
Easter Sunday dressed in
bright new clothes, many
times just to show off their
new dress or suit.
After services, many people
go home or out to eat a
delicious meal. Afterwards,
the children hunt for the
colorful eggs.
This tradition depicts the
commercialism of Easter and
has pushed the true meaning of
the time out of our minds.
Jesus died on the cross to
forgive us of our sins, and He
arose on the third day and
ascended into heaven. Jesus
didn’t rise from the dead for
us to wear our new clothes and
show everyone how much we
have or think we have. He
didn’t die for us to hunt eggs
on the day he was to rise.
These are customs passed
down through the centuries.
Have we let them override the
true meaning of Easter?
Down with commercialism!
We don’t need com-
mercialism, we need respect
and reverence for Christ.
This Easter, instead of
wearing new frocks put on
your old ones. I really do not
think there will be any dif-
ference. It is not what we
wear, it is how we worship.

CHRISTIAN COLUMN
by Angela Casey
Someone may come up and
ask you, “what kind of life
does a Christian lead?”
Most Christians can answer
this question almost im-
mediately. But for those that
have trouble it seems the
answers are sometimes
beyond their reach.
A person that has slid back-
wards in Christian life is one
who has not lived up to their
own expectations. Someone
may approach you and say,
“do you believe that if you
have been saved once, you are
always saved?”
There are many points of
view concerning this
statement. One may say that
some Christians abuse this
phrase by their actions.
Others may believe that once
you have accepted Jesus
Christ as your savior and you
believe in God, then you will
not have to worry whether or
not you will be forgiven for
your sins.
The backsliding Christian is
not disbelieveing in God or
Jesus for that matter he may
be going against God’s will.
These Christians may feel
unsure about themselves and
about the people around them.
Usually when this happens
they cling to their friends
more than ever.
When Christians feel they
need more; strength most of
the time they turn to their
church and the people there.
But at certain times the
church and the people may not
be strong either. You may say,
“what do you do or where do
you turn now?”
There is a book you can buy
at almost any store. To a
Christian this book, better
known as the Bible, cannot be
bought for its content at any
price. This book is the answer
when you are not where you
want to be or what you want to
be. There areso many scrip-
tures that can help you with
any trial or tribulation that
may cross your path.
A Christian leads a fulfilled
life even with its ups and
downs. It is also happy. Just
seek and ye shall find, knock
and the door will be opened
unto you.
