The reason is simple.
The birth of a baby is the birth of a
family. An exciting experience the expectant
couple can share together.
Keeping this very important concept in
mind, we designed Option Birth to be family-
centered and make the birth experience a
family affair.
From pre-natal exercise classes for mom,
to sibling classes for older brothers and
sisters, Option Birth prepares you for a safe
and joyful birth and a confident family
beginning.

There are many things that are
very important to me. Some people
have a favorite pair of jeans or a
favorite color. My favorite thing
happens to be my shirt. It is not
really pretty. In fact, it is really
pretty ugly. It is a white T-shirt and
it has a rabbit's face on it. The
rabbit is wearing some green sun
glasses that are falling off his head.
It has a hole down at the bottom of
it. The hole has begun to run up the
shirt because I keep pulling on it.
My mother keeps threatening me
that she is going to throw it away if
I don’t get rid of it. I just cannot
seem to part with it. It is very
special to me. I would not and could
not part with it if my life depended
on it.
I mainly wear it around the house.
Not very many people have seen it. I
would not mind showing it to my
friends but they would probably
laugh in my face. This shirt is
definitely my favorite and I’m afraid
I will never get rid of it. I just can’t.

I’d love just to live, to jump and
climb
And to find new ways to pass the
time,
like fishin’ and fightin' and biowin'
and blinkin’,
runnin’ and rollin' and throwin' and
thinkin’
Cause anthing’s fun when you're
just a kid and you want nothing
more.
I’d sing a simple song of life
Never tiring of the words.
Nor wasting a
short-lived joy
Cause this is the fun that’s just for
the young,
And it’s only right, cause they want
nothing more.

__ ELEMENTARY NEWS
Mrs. Holloway’s third grade class
is studying about the United States.
They have been making a flag to go
along with their study.
Texas Commissioner of Education,
Mr. William N. Kirby, recently
ruled that after 1988, all high school
vocational agriculture (agricultural
sciences) and home-economics cour-
ses would cease, along with the
Future Farmers of America (F.F.A.)
He Feels that Texas is becoming an
urban state, and in the near future,
Texas will no longer be an
agricultural state.
Mr. Kirby stated that Texas
schools need to teach leadership,
morals, patriotism, and citizenship,
and to get away from vocational
programs. These are the same
principals taught by the F.F.A.
1 believe that Mr. Kirby will have
serious opposition from all of the
people who are involved in F.F.A.
projects, along with those involved
with the several shows and events
that are organized by F.F.A.
chapters.
The Future Farmers of America
has a place in Texas high schools, as
does vocational agriculture (agricul-
tural sciences) and home-economics,
which cannot be replaced by any

My favorite shirt is my Aggie
Spring Break T-shirt. I got it when 1
spent spring break at A&M last
year. It is white. On the front there
is a sergeant with a surfboard
wearing jams. On the back it says,
“Spring Break, the greatest week
you will never remember.” Most
people read it and ask me what I did
spring break. 1 had lots of fun.
1 like to wear my shirt with my
green, blue, and purple jams. 1
consider this one of my most
comfortable outfits. My family gives
me a hard time because I wear my
shirt quite frequently. I believe 1
should since it is my favorite one. I
should be able to relax and enjoy
wearing my favorite shirt. What is
the use of having a favorite shirt if
you cannot wear it? -

TWO-FACED PEOPLE
BY Susan Malone
People who act like a friend to a
person’s lace and then talk about I
them behind their back have always
made me furious. 1 sometimes place
my trust in a person and tell that
friend my hopes, dreams, and
deepest secrets and expect her to |
keep it to herself. But come to find
out, everyone knows.
The friendship is totally destroyed !
and sometimes so is a reputation.
What can one do about this? There
is nothing to do about it except talk
to the one who spreads everything
around. Also, this kind of friend will
make me watch what I say to all
others until 1 can know for sure who
my true friends are.
When this happens to a person, he
feels betrayed and let down. It is
hard to build back up the trust in
someone once this has happened.
Eventually the betrayed will learn to
trust again, but it is difficult. Many
friendships are ruined by these
kinds of people.
In today’s world teen-agers are
challenged by many things, but the
most powerful of these arc drugs.
Drugs are never looked upon as a
substance that could cause brain
damage or deformed children in
later life; but they do. Drugs are
more of an escape for teen-agers.
Drugs let them agree with whatever
is bothering them. The feeling that
“nothing matters" is the feeling
they get. Drugs offer courage to do
things normally not done when
drug-free.
When teen-agers are faced with a
problem they cannot handle, there is
often nowhere else to turn but to
drugs. Parents who think their kid
won’t get caught up in the drug
scene know little about their child.
Any child can get caught up in
drugs. Look at this from a
teen-ager’s view. You have a rough
day at school, you are on the border
line of failing a course, your parents
are on your back because you
haven’t cleaned your room. You go
take a certain drug-any drug-then
you don’t care about failing or what
your parents think. Just like that, it
makes you think your problems are
history. In reality, you probably
cleaned your room and did your
homework while you were under the
influence and didn’t even know it.
Teenagers need help, and they are
looking for help, but they have to
know someone to turn to who will
understand. Parents get angry or
frightened and often offer no help at
all. Parents sometimes take the
attitude that if you are a “druggy”,
then they want nothing to do with
you. That’s not right.
If the adults of this country want to
stop the drug problem, then they
have to do it; the teen-agers can’t.
Take 10 minutes each day to talk to
your child and realize what's going
