Her name is Jeanne Johnson. She is the new "Judy" in the front office of-fice if you have not met her yet. Her first high school secretary job is right here at Springville High School and she loves it, so far. She said, "I really enjoy working here at Springville, and the students stu-dents are great." Jeanne Johnson grew up in Salt Lake City and attended Skyline High School. She has been married for 18 years now and has a wonderful family. She is a lucky mother of four; one boy who is 15 and three girls, 11, 10 and 6-years-old. Some of the things she likes to do are scrap-booking, playing sports, reading and following her kids around. Her favorite food is Mexican food. If she could live anywhere, she would live on a tropical island, just relaxing on the beach. Some of her goals in life are to see her children grow up and get married. She also plans on traveling with her husband as the years go by. She is a wonderful secretary secre-tary at SHS and I know that we can only expect great things from her in the future. If you haven't met her yet feel free to drop in (with IWpiiy 111 HHHBi 11 Jeanne Johnson your teacher's permission of course) and say hi and get to know her. I'm sure we will be seeing her around SHS for years to come. t These Middle School students will compete on the district level with their Reflections entries.

Dustin Willey SHS STAFF WRITER When I caught up with Miss Natalie Carter, she was happy to do an interview with me. Miss Carter is a new teacher here at Springville High this year. She teaches English in the h-wing h-wing to sophomores and juniors. ju-niors. Before she worked here, Miss Carter taught in the Alpine School District. Miss Carter got her major in teaching English at BYU, and she also got a minor in music. She said she loves teaching English and it is her favorite, but if she had to teach another subject, it would be music. Her favorite thing about teaching is interacting inter-acting with the students and teaching things that she actually actu-ally cares about and has an interest in. The only thing that Miss Carter doesn't like about teaching is grading students. Besides teaching English, Miss Carter enjoys playing her guitar and writing. She loves anything to do with the outdoors, and she enjoys cultural cul-tural things as well. She is currently engaged and is getting married this January. Miss Carter is a great teacher and we are glad to have her here at Springville High this year. Natalie Carter All stressed out Danielle Dearden SHS STAFF WRITER It's test day, and you nonchalantly non-chalantly stroll into your physic's classroom, throw your feet up on the desk, and think about how you had no time to study in between be-tween Halo, a two-hour nap, and hanging out with friends. But it doesn't matter mat-ter to you, because as long as you pull a C, your mom doesn't care, and if she's not on your back, you don't care either. Glancing to your left, you spy your table partner, who is frantically ripping through his practice test and notes, cramming every last bit of information in his head in preparation for the test. It's apparent by the look in his eyes that he's stressed out, and being the overachiever that he is, he won't be satisfied with any score less that a 95. You laugh and wonder why he even cares - it's just a test! How could something so pointless worry him that much? Besides, Be-sides, if he wanted more time to study, why didn't he drop one of his four AP classes, quit the tennis team, and quit the play? In truth, there are many students at SHS who are in the same predicament as this overachiever: too much to do and not enough time to do it. These are students determined to maintain a good GPA, but they are also so involved in extracurricular ex-tracurricular activities that it's baffling that they still try, and even more baffling that some of them can do it without having a mental breakdown. These students are involved in-volved in any number of things - band, orchestra, choir, drama, yearbook, newspaper, sports, jobs, clubs, student council, city council, tutoring, and many more time-consuming activities. ac-tivities. They also have a tough school schedule, some taking tak-ing as many as five AP classes in one year. It's hard to find time to study . and do homework when your day runs from 6:30 a.m. to 10 p.m. with no breaks. The question is, why do they do it? Can there be any feasible reason as to why they would subject themselves them-selves to such a difficult lifestyle, especially for a high school student? There are many reasons why. When asked why he does it all, Bailey Stewart (four AP classes, band, and orchestra) or-chestra) said, "I love doing what I do. Music is my life. It's my passion. It's what makes me happy." When asked why he doesn't quit something to make things easier he replied, "It's impossible im-possible to cnoose because they're all factors in making mak-ing it into college." Where do you cross the line? What is "too much?" Only you can decide for yourself. But as long as there are highly motivated students at SHS, there will always be students that are all stressed out.
