After more than a decade, Dona Weaver closes her last book at FHS |
|
|
|
When Dona Weaver rushed from Hedges Elementary School to her interview at FHS 14 years ago, she hadn’t the first clue what to expect from her future boss, Gene Boyle.

She sat through the entire interview worried about what Boyle would think of her red footwear. F U L L S T O R Y |

Some simple advice to save your sanity |

Two scenarios can coincide with semester tests:
The first one is staying up until 2 a.m. studying on the night before the tests, flunking miserably, and falling into a life of crime. Or, prepare days before needed, get attendance problems straightened out, passing with flying colors, and going home to a life of success. F U L L S T O R Y |

NEWS BRIEFS
FHS yearbook honored with national awards
Last year’s yearbook gained top honors recently in two national contests.
In the American Scholastic Press Association contest, the yearbook received a first-place award, nabbing 950 of a possible 1,000 points. The yearbook earned perfect scores in the areas of page design, photography and creativity. It also gained near-perfect scores in the areas of content presentation and publication structure.
“Yearbook last year was a bit of a struggle, but somehow we all pulled together and made it happen,” said junior Lindsey Butler. “I wish last year’s seniors could be here to see how their effort paid off.”
In the Columbia Scholastic Press Association contest, the yearbook captured the “gold medalist” award by earning 930 of 1,000 points. The yearbook gained All-Columbian marks of distinction in the categories of coverage, writing and design. It also gained high scores in the fields of photography and concept.
Celebration held for Martin Luther King, Jr.
FHS history teacher Mark Armstrong read Dr. Martin Luther King’s “I Have a Dream” speech on Sunday at an event, part of which will air on the local NBC station as a public service announcement.
The Nurturing Center, in conjunction with United Way, sponsored the celebration, which was held at 6 p.m. at First Presbyterian Church.
Participants were asked to donate one can of food.
Next Saturday will be the “Day-on-not-day-off” celebration at Depot Park.
“It’s a day for kids and adults to come out and show their spirit, get involved in the community, and to honor the dreams of Martin Luther King, Jr.”
