Library aides
a big help
mm
BY DONNA ROUSSEAU
When you go i"10 l^e
library and set- one of your
fellow students behind the
counter, you may be
surprised. Don't be, because
they are only helping Mrs.
McDonald, our librarian,
with all the books. We
interviewed Mrs. McDonald,
and she informed us that the
students help her quite alot.
She told us that some of
the college minded students
will benefit from working
there because if they need to
find some information when
they are at college, it will be
a much easier task. Some of
t he other students may take
it only one or two quarters
because they may have to
make up one quarter from
another class.
These library aides help
process new books, shelve
hooks, and check them in and
out.
A student's
own opinion
BY DEBBIE ODIORNE
Recently, a prominent
American died. Nelson Rock-
efeller died on January 26.
For government students,
former Vice-President Rock-
efeller is a very interesting
study. Besides holding the
vice-presidential office.
Rockefeller was governor of
New York for 15 years. He
held many appointive offices
during several administra-
tions. A new art form was
developed, as Rockefeller
started the practice of using
expensive media campaigns.
Many people associate the
name Rockefeller with mon-
ey. Although Mr. Rockefel-
ler was from a wealthy
family, he worked hard to
make a living. He was a clerk

If you would like to be a
library aide, you must be a
junior or a senior, and have
at least an 80 average. You
must also be approved by
the counselor and the
principal. Everyone who
becomes a librarian will get
credits for i he class.
So remember to visit the
library, either to check out a
good book or to do some
studying.
New arrival
likes fresh
atmosphere
For library aides, like Blake Goertz, fun and adventure are
only a few of the things involved. Work is a very big part of
the operation of running a library.

Frye's classes
study taxes
BY MICHAEL WALTON
How many of you know
how to fill out an income tax
statement? Not many? Many
of you have never had a
reason to do so I'm sure.
Many make a lot of money
but never have to file the
above mentioned forms
because they don't make
enough money. That is a key
word "enough." Enough is a
lot of money if you don't
work because "enough" is
worth $3,200.
That is what American
government students are
learning in the classes
taught by Ms. Frye. "Income
tax forms," she says, "are
your welcomes to America."
The entire past week of
school was spent figuring out
(by reading and performing
exercises) how to fill out an
income tax statement.
Whether you use form
1040Aor just plain form
1040, or if you use from W 2
or form W 4 is being taught.
Though this sounds confus
ing il is quite understanda-
ble once you get into il.
Perhaps some day income
tax forms will become so
simple I hat a junior high
student can complete them
with absolutely no difficul-
ties whatsoever. The IRS,
the Internal Revenue Ser-
vice, actually tried lo make it
this simple. It appears as
I hough they failed; however,
because I he eighth grade
students given the form
could nm fill it out.
Given Ms. Frye's leader-
ship: however, seniors of the
future will easily make out
these forms wilh the utmost
speed and accuracy. IRS
beware! Ms. Frye is on your
I rail!

Everyone, at some point in
their life, is new at
something or some place.
Our school, Bastrop High,
has had several new
students arrive since Janu-
ary 4. Eight to be exact. Five
students have returned that
were here last year, and the
school population continues
to grow.
One new student, from
McCallum High School in
Austin, Teri Bryant, has her
views on entering a new
school.
When asked what it was
like to move from a large
school to a small one, she
gave us a lot of her ideas.
She says you meet one
person, and suddenly you

Nelson Rockefeller was
not only a public and
financial figure, but also an
art connoisseur. He had a
vast art collection which was
housed in the Museum of
Primitive Art. Rockefeller
founded this museum in
1957. He was also a member
of the Metropolitan Museum

life, Mr. Rockefeller opened
an art store in Manhattan.

Hive you been overcome
by yawns lately and don't
feel like doing much of
anything? If so, you may
have a case of the winter
blues. January is the
primary month in which this
illness occurs. It is so cold
outside that no one feels like
getting any exercise; every-
one is confined to their
house. January is also a very-
depressing month.
During Christmas people
are in a holiday mood and
feel like spending money.
Unfortunately, during Janu
^^Mjhj^sjH'nders must suffer
the consequences. Bills come
in and income tax must be
paid. The only holiday is
New Year's Day, and then
you arc suffering from
celebrating on New Year's
Eve. Let's face it - January
is a drag.
What can be done about
this? Should we strike
January from the calendar,
or declare it a national
holiday? Maybe we could be
scientific and devise a way]
for humans to hibernate.
Perhaps the most logical
way would be to grin and
bear it and wait for
Valentine's Day in February.

Field house
BY TONYA LI NSFORD
Have you heard rumors
thai we are being fenced in
now?
Not irue. The fence was
put up to surround the
eonsiruciion sighi for our
new field house. The new
I'iekl house will be located
teal lo (he band hall.
Now along with our new
stands in (he looilwll

know everyone. Everyone
knows everyone else, and
they are a lot more friendly.
The only thing about
everyone knowing everyone
else, is that news and gossip
travels fast. Attitudes are
almost the same. Of course
in every walk of life there
will be someone that doesn't
like you.
Teri says she has no
disputes about the dress
code, because it is almost
like McCallum's, except that
there you can wear sun-
dresses and a few other
things.
She also says there is a
pretty large difference in
classes. At a larger school
there is a much wider choice
of classes. At McCallum, for
instance, students change
classes and teachers three
times a year, giving the
students a chance to do
several different things in
one year.
Even if Teri would rather
have come at the beginning
of the year, so she wouldn't
have missed all the football
games, she still enjoys
basketball. She has been
seen at some of the
basketball games, with a
happy face.'and we hope that
means she is enjoying
herself at B.H.S.
Teri is not the only new
arrival at Bastrop High, but
one of many. We hope
everyone takes it upon him
or herself to make the new
students welcome.

Livin' De Life
chosen asOAP
BY KAYJETI
This year's 1979 one-act
plat has been changed from
"The Clown Who Ran Away"
to "Livin' De Life."
"Livin' De Life" is a play

direction of Mrs. Jerry
Wilhelm, "Life" was per-

Baslarop was in the 2-A
District. It won district and
area competition, but did not
place in regional.
Rehearsals began on Janu
ary 31, and will continue
until zone competition on
March 28 in Georgetown at
Southwestern University.
As of now, rehearsals are
closed to the public. How-
ever, there will be a public
performance held at a later
date.

The FHA has a busy
schedule for February and
March. On January 18,
representat ives from each
class held a meeting to
discuss future plans for the
FHA. It was decided that a
bake sale will be held on
February 10.
Vocational week will be
February 11-17. The -FHA
will be taking part in an open
house on February 12.
If the "disco craze" has
zapped you, you will be glad
to know that the FHA will be
sponsoring a disco dance for
high school students on
February 16.
The high school cafeteria
will be magically converted
into a discotheque from 8
p.m. to midnight. Music will
be furnished by Devon
Humphrey and free re
freshments provided by
FHA members. For all the
future John Travoltas of
Saturday Night Fever, there
will be a dance contest with
contemporary record albums
awarded to winning couples.
Tickets will be $1.25 for all
FHA members, advanced
tickets will he $2.00, and
tickets at the door will be
$2.50. The FHA would
appreciate your support.
Tickets will go on sale
two weeks in advance, so if
you are planning to attend
the dance, ir' would be
cheaper to buy your tickets
in advance at the BHS
Cafeteria.
Future plans for the FHA
will be on March 16, which is
Teacher Appreciation Day
March 3, which is the FHA
convention, and the FHA
Banquet will be April 6.
